The game looks nice and has some very nice touches, such as the waypoints.. However, there is quite a lot wrong with the game currently. The most annoying being the poor combat system, which for me is a step back from even SaoHr.. There is no decent dodging and the block is almost redundant. Enemies laugh at your attacks whilst charging up their own, which doesn’t happen the other way around. The friendly AI is next to worthless given that they basically do nothing, I think it took Eugeo around 20 minutes of combat before he actually attacked, despite me using commands, it just feels like there is no point him being there.. Also, the story progresses too quickly, as one minute you’re in the starting town, and next you’re in the Central city.. After around a day of play through, I feel like the game needs work, it has some elements that are amazing but I’ve felt more let down than amazed so far... Most people who have played this game say it takes a long time to get going, so I’m hopeful my opinion will change but we will see..

The calibration is an issue for this game, and a problem I haven’t really experienced with most VR games.. The training is a bunch of time based exercises and the camera loses you and your hands so the exercises are clunky and undoable at times. I wouldn’t mind too much if it didn’t penalise you for not completing the training, but it does this with low stamina in your next fight, meanwhile you’re getting beaten down, and have no hands and you’re an asthmatic wreck.. There is no real pause menu as well, you have to hold the pause button, but this doesn’t stop the game like it does in every other game ever, you have to have to go through the menu whilst getting your arse kicked because the game lost you again...If the calibration worked, this may be a 4 or 5 out of 10 game. But it is a constant problem and completely lost me from the start. Have to say this game is 2/10 at best, worst game I’ve played on PSVR so far..
