As someone who lived in the days before cell phones and PC gaming, I was concerned I wouldn't get to experience something like this is my lifetime. I was a little hesitant at first, but i'm incredibly glad i gave this game a shot.

IMHO, this game captures the essence of what it would be like to play an MMO in VR. You can glide, jump, shoot, swing a sword, block, port, and dodge your way around nicely. If they keep the crafting along the lines of how cooking is set up, you essentially mini-game craft, doing things like flipping pancakes and dicing food at your little station, making sure nothing burns. You can also climb trees and pull plants from the ground in the open world for ingredients along with just buying them.

The game itself has some good bones, and seems fairly fleshed out given that the team is somewhat small and this is still very much early access. If you are like me and a healer/mage, the mechanics for healing are super fun and intuitive. I like being able to lob heals like I'm throwing accurate water balloons at people, or summoning up AOE spells/heals with some hand gestures and trigger pulls. All the while, grabbing my holstered guns and shooting things in between at no mana cost. (If you are a mage/healer, your bullets heal people too. Kinda fun)

I would personally recommend this to anyone that has the MMO VR itch. My only real gripes, outside of the bugs here and there, are that I don't have more time to play and there isn't more crafting/farming yet. I would love to be able to mine ore, or skin things to make weapons and armor down the road.. OH, AND ADDING FISHING WOULD MAKE THIS GAME AMAZING! Just sayin'. :) /soapbox
