The WhatsNext verdict

For VR players with sturdy virtual legs seeking unmatched high-speed physics locomotion and vertigo-inducing scale.: Combining frictionless hoverboots, wrist thrusters, and grappling hooks turns a massive open world into an exhilarating playground of pure momentum and aerial freedom. Tradeoff: The unrestricted velocity and vertical drops can induce intense motion sickness, while visual presentation remains low-poly and utilitarian.
