Plays well, Like Chess but in VR.
But 2 things I noticed:
-Going to need a fairly powerful GPU to run it. I'm not exactly sure why. But I tested on 2 builds (rtx2060 and 5500XT) the 5500xt struggled a bit. Using a Quest 2
- The cursor tracking with the headset is a bit odd. It kind of dates it. Not something you see in modern VR games.
Overall worth it when on sale. I think I got it for about $3 in a bundle.
