The AI voices are absolutely terrible. The store page disclaimer says 'some voices are AI' and in an hour of gameplay I have yet to hear one that doesn't sound like one. Sentence pacing & tone are absolutely all over the place and it really pulls you out of the game. The writing also seems extremely ham-fisted. You, a rookie pilot, have been given the most advanced craft for your first flight, literally straight out of prototyping, why? You defeat one enemy and all of a sudden you're ambushed by half a dozen more, which is apparently a huge shock to the characters that are talking to you. Once the battle is over though? meh. nobody cares. I think *some* of this could be covered up with good voice acting but again, all AI voices that just can't match whatever seems to be the intended tone. Gameplay-wise, it's okay, the control scheme on controller definitely needs a bit of work, particularly with regards to the boost button & the roll speed. The former can be fixed by remapping it/enabling the toggle mode, the latter is just not adjustable at all. Additionally, flying forward with the boost mode will only get you to about 400 speed, the max speed of the ship is 700, which you can only reach by using the up & down thrusters, which means that for making it between waypoints, the best way to move is to point your ship face down and hold the up thrusters, meaning you don't see any of the pretty city you're flying over if you're playing well. Would not recommend playing until its had some serious updates.

Not being able to skip the race mission DESPITE HAVING THE OPTION to reject it is absolutely retarded. The game's still a buggy mess, the docking voices often crap out and start to chipmunk, objectives disappear or never appear. Missions are all the same, and there's a massive lack of content. It seems to have progressed no further than the demo. As it is now, it's a hard pass, but with massive potential if it ever gets out of the "tech demo" phase.

Did a couple of missions and this is an amazing spiritual success to G-Police. Scratches the itch. Flying feels good. City is gorgeous. Plays great on a controller, but def going to eventually try playing with HOSAS. Seems like it will feel slightly more intuitive with a stick.

Very 'aircar' but that's a good thing if you are a VR user. Devs are really proactive so a big thumbs up on that score. When its done and in release its going to be a blast...a few issues right now but they are working on it.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/4iFbnlmZIbE I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, this is a very promising title and some of the core systems already in place can be exhilarating. Just flying around this futuristic city is fun. The visuals and gameplay can be special at times. However, optimization is really bad, even on my RTX 5090. The best I could do (without making the visuals terrible) is achieve 60 fps. That doesn't cut it. I would say for most people the game wouldn't be playable in VR unless you have one of the best GPUs. The game is running on the Unreal Engine 5.7. I spent a good amount of time just fiddling with the graphical settings just trying to get the best results! I also experienced two major bugs. On the first mission, for whatever reason, the game stopped rendering correctly to my right eye. I could barely finish the mission. I had to close my right eye to do it. Then on my way to the 3rd mission, my gamepad stopped working (it works perfectly fine). I couldn't move. Finally out of desperation, I decided to try KBM to move, then after that, my Xbox One gamepad starting working again! Again, my controller works perfectly fine. It's the game, not my controller. Lastly, probably the worst thing, is that the game's missions just feel like AI wrote them, voiced them, and created them. Just very uninspiring stuff. Which is sad because the flying and combat can be thrilling. Like I said, the core of the game is nice, but the execution is where it's utterly lacking. It doesn't help that the city isn't really that big. It looks majestic at first. Parts of it are great. Other parts of it look rather generic. Is this all there is? [b]Rate 6/10. Just barely passable start to EA. I'm gonna uninstall and hope they fix my issues and add more content. Hopefully, I didn't waste my money. We shall see.[/b] [quote]I bought this game!

Yeah, this is gonna be the tits.

Initial play of the Early Access product.... It's good! I played an awful lot of the Demo, which I loved and now there's more missions, so I'm sold.
