What players say

Players praise the core idea of VR blacksmithing but find it buried under clunky controls, lag, and bugs. Vive and Rift users report being unable to play at all, and others mention repetitive orders, unclear sharpness detection, and no auto-save. Some find the crafting satisfying once they grasp it, while many say it feels abandoned early in its life.
