Playing this game and VR (the good VR) is like playing Super Mario 64 for the first time and trying to convince people it's great but they don't think anything will ever be better than the SNES. "We like the d-pad", "The graphics are so crude", "There's been analog sticks before. Why should it catch on now?" It's just frustrating. Not because I want to force something on people. It's that they're missing out and they don't even know that they're missing out!

My free time is limited so I actually haven't beaten the game yet. I've just finished the second boss and ever session with this game just leaves me in awe. There was a level where I held my breath before going underwater. It was like my mind expected to get wet. It's crazy! God, I love this game. Sure, as time goes on, better experiences will come. There's something special about being here "in the beginning", though.

You're going to have a fun time in the whale level! The water is fantastic in this game.  Astro bot is like watching Spirited away for the first time. Pure magic.

Actually just played it an hour ago. And yes, I was blown away.
