This is for PCVR and will update review if fixed.

Pro’s:
-No Man’s Sky is a great game!
-flying is a joy in vr
-conceptually no mans sky lends itself nicely to vr

Cons
-misleading advertising: let me explain:
1.”rebuilt for vr” = you can fly your ship or point with your tool.
2. “Full vr support” = full psvr support
3. “Full valve index support” = no finger tracking.


-room scale broken
-performance is terrible. Makes me wonder why this runs on a psvr but not a 1080ti and modern cpu
-forced to stand still or badgered with out of area splash screen
-CANNOT RIDE FAUNA!
-very little meaningful physical interaction aside from the ship mechanics of flying
- forced to hold arms perpendicular to your body or you constantly punch the ground
-no photo mode
-no jet boost melee
-no vr keyboard for naming things
-on pimax fx and some flora are visually glitched
-glaringly obviously a port of psvr which is a port of the flat game. So...yeah. Portception.
-inventory menu on your hand too shaky for a large window. Need stabilization.
-melee collision is ridiculously huge like the size of almost half your body
-hand menus delayed before showing
-hand position for index controllers way off
-grabbing your gun off your shoulder only works...if you don’t move out of your spot
-cannot sit in chairs

I was seriously looking forward to playing this with my dad. Now I can’t, bc this is a total mess.
Of course I want to see hello games succeed, but that will require them to put some actual effort in here, because right now it’s basically 20% done for vr.

I will update this review when No Mans Sky vr is reasonable to play.

I want to say that I have a really hard time writing bad reviews and don’t like to and almost never do. I wish I could encourage the devs to add some inspiring roomscale vr.
