How it feels

Standing in an empty virtual space, you must carefully nock, draw, aim, and release arrows with deliberate, repetitive precision to hit static targets.

What players say

Players praise the bow mechanics as some of the best in early VR, but nearly everyone agrees the game has minimal content. It offers only target-shooting modes in one small area, leading most to call it a short demo experience. Many compare it unfavorably to Valve's free archery game in The Lab, and note that promised content never arrived.
