Solid VR title, could use some improveme
This review will be edited in a lengthy, more detailed review over time. For now, I have played for about 2 hours and barely scratched what the game has to offer. The factions are nice, feel balanced so far, and have very different cards and feel to them. Unlocking boosters is a fun grinding experience. The game is quite hard to master. The solo experience is challenging but will get you ready to face real players. My main complaint comes with the MR mode. There are no reasons not to be able to play the entire game in mixed reality. That is the kind of game I play seated, on the sofa... While watching TV or keeping an eye on the dogs. MR is perfect for that! But it only happens during rounds. As soon as you finish playing a round, you're sent back in VR facing point to click menus with an environment surrounding you. It brings nothing to the game and imo, should be MR all the way. The game also uses a UI that is point to click. The menu could easily be brought closer to the user and use a touch to click menu like Demeo for example. That means hands tracking would be an option for them to consider. Controllers are fine, but when you want to sit back, relax, play a few rounds with a cup of coffee... It simply won't do it. With that said, the pros outweigh the cons. The cons are very specific to some use cases that may not affect most players and the overall experience is extremely enjoyable.
