What players say

Players are split. Many praise the clever retro-meets-VR layers and say the trilogy is impressive, but a significant number report game-ending crashes around the year 1980, poor support for HTC Vive wands, and a boss fight with no checkpoints. Some find the ending abrupt and the multitasking sections frustrating.
