The WhatsNext verdict

For VR enthusiasts who want full-body physical presence, sandbox experimentation, and tactical gunplay without hand-holding.: Uncompromising physics simulation gives every object, weapon, and climbable surface genuine tactile presence and emergent problem-solving. Tradeoff: Rigid commitment to full physics creates noticeable collision jank, clunky climbing, and potential motion sickness for unacclimated players.
