Early Access Review
This is hands down the coolest VR game I've played so far. I've never done such badass things in a video game before. It's amazing! I want to write a book about it. It's the epitome of a "murder boner". If you pick this game up, be sure to play at least 3-4 hours because there's a bunch of not-obvious things you can do that you only discover by rampaging through the levels and trying out new moves. The best part is the "endless waves with (npc) friends" modes (warzone or something). Constant carnage, epic battles, the struggle to survive...it's basically Gorn but more realistic and better physics. The magic telekinesis is also awesome and a perfect fit for the battles. The enemy approaches, you've dropped your weapons. He smirks, knowing your demise is imminent, then SHLGKHKG a sword stabs through his chest. A look of utter shock is in his eyes. You pop slow-mo and reach up to grab his sword out of the air as another enemy dives in for the attack. You block and roll away, releasing a dagger that whizzes through the air into their exposed stomach. Now they're really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. You're back on your feet and back in the battle. 30 feet away you see your ally, ♥♥♥♥, they're in trouble, two guys bearing down with rippling muscles. You only have seconds to act. You sprint forward and see a barrel sitting against the wall. You use your Jedi mind powers and lift it up and slam it into their backs. Your ally stares back, the look of terror slowly fading from their face. You each give a nod and dive back in, slaying your way to victory! And that's just like 15 seconds worth of gameplay.

Definitely 100% recommended. You won't be disappointed if you like killing people with swords and magic. One BIG warning though: you will destroy your room so take precautions. I move around a LOT in this game and my VR monitor shield came in super handy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leD2hg3RqfI

EDIT: one new issue with this game is that you have to use the new controller mapping thing that Valve released. This isn't really an issue with the game, but it means you have to spend time setting it all up. It probably took me 15-20 minutes to get it right.
