Sadly I can't get this to work with Quest just yet so in the mean time it would be great to hear some impressions. If good enough I might just unbox me old Rift.

It's now rated at 96% based on 15 ratings, but the fans seem to be there first - still it's looking great. But we're visiting Grandma today and won't be home before it's late, sigh, and yes I do realize I could have remote-installed the game using the Oculus Android app IF I had left the rig on this morning, double-sigh...

Purchasing and downloading, but won't get to play it until later.

Saw some initial post that the game starts off strong, but gets a bit weak towards the end. If that's true, it's nothing a solid update can't fix. Can't wait to jump in!

Strange that the game is just $19.99, I expected $30 or 40, I wonder if this is another awesome gift from Zuckerberg  🙂

Well I can at least start the game on Quest but can't nod my head to proceed. Looking good so far...ahem, at least it boots.

According to several posts on Reddit the game has a strong start, but then feels rushed, then again many seem to expect quite a lot from Defector. All the hype can easily increase odds of being disappointed, personally I'm expecting a nice and fun game, not something that'll impress me more than Lone Echo  😉

I think people are seeing solid reviews of Blood & Truth (PSVR) and expecting the same from Defector.

Now 36 ratings, average rating 88% - still not bad, but a clear descent from 96 %.

I'm only on the 2nd second mission so far, it's good but not amazing. And I reckon others will like this game more then me.

Because of Rift S tracking as well it's very annoying that my left hand keeps dangling in front of my face.

I'll keep playing it this weekend but I'm quite tired tonight so I quit for now. 

There's some really good parts and some not so good parts.

I would give the game 7/10 so far so I guess the price point is about right.
