Overall rating
The good
- Melee physics are excellent, some of the best VR has to offer.
- Enemies bleed where you hit them and can be dismembered.
- Lots of upgrades including a stats and skill tree, armor and weapons ( would love to see this expanded with the ability to customize and upgrade weapons and armor)
- Beating bosses rewards you with cool weapons with special attributes/abilities
The bad
- Enemy AIs do some pretty stupid things sometimes. Like knock themselves out by tripping over another AI or fighting with their fists when their weapon is knocked out of their hands instead of picking it back up.
- A level 1 AI and a level 10 AI really don't feel all that different in terms of difficulty. They are just a little stronger, but their fighting skills and moves remain the same.
