My First Impressions
I bought the PC version a while ago because I'm a StarCraft: Brood War and StarCraft: Remastered fan, and a space enthusiast, and a VR enthusiast and I always wondered what a StarCraft FPS would be like. To not only get something in a game world that's similar to that but in VR... and made EXCLUSIVELY for VR was just a tantalizing prospect to me.

Hadn't gotten to playing it for a while because of some PC problems, so I just picked up the Quest 3 version also during the black friday sale, and WOW is this game fun. It reminds me a bit of those old unofficial Starship Troopers "Use Map Settings" custom games people used to play a lot on StarCraft: Brood War, but now in first person mode and in VR. Just a thrill to play.

And being up on the bridge of the ship selecting the missions and walking around looking out the window at space and at the planet below, it reminds me of the cutscenes from StarCraft: Brood War where it shows characters up on the Terran Battlecruisers.

Only had time for the first couple missions and the tutorial this morning but man I am feeling so excited to play more of this later. Feels almost like I'm a character inside a StarCraft game or something.

My only criticism so far is I notice after enabling left-handed controls, the in-game tutorials that tell you what buttons to push often still seem to give you the instructions for right-handed users. Not a big deal.. I realized that pretty fast and just tried the same instructions using the opposite controller and things went well at that point.
