Just an amazing game. Did not believe in "Indie Gems" before this game.

In a (virtual) world of "experiences," glorified tech demos, and sloppy ports, comes the first fully-fledged, built for VR game, and the first VR MMO. While there are other good VR games out there, this is the first one that I've felt any desire to play for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Idk what kind of toasters the negative reviewers are on, but Reborn has been flawless and bug-free for me. The few times I did experience issues when the game was still in early access, the dev team was very quick to respond and helpful.

Having grown up on EQ1, I'll admit I'm a fan of the oldschool MMO mechanics, but I think Orbus does a really good job of balancing "oldschool" and newer MMO mechanics. For example, you do have a map, but you actually have to open it (gasp!) and you can't just leave it up and just stare at your dot on a minimap while ignoring the beautiful and fantastic world around you. For those who absolutely need to stare at something, and can't just learn where things are, there is a very cool and helpful compass. There is unfortunately a rapidly growing and vocal subset of gamers that are just never happy, I think.

Anyways, I thought this game was already fun before Reborn. The classes were all fun, interesting, and different, and fighting things in a group was very enjoyable. Most modern MMOs seem to have disavowed group content, so I especially appreciated this. Reborn has just completely blown me away. It's a completely new and improved game, with no nickel and diming DLC bull****. Seriously don't understand how anyone can be unhappy about it. The new graphics are amazing, the city is detailed and amazing, the new classes are really cool, the new minigames are really fun and actually reward you with exp and loot, and all of this was given for free to people who already owned the game. Seriously, we should be praising and encouraging devs like this. It's so refreshing in this day and age of micro transactions and DLC.

At the risk of sounding like an old fart (I'm 30), I would just like to encourage the younger folk who have maybe gotten used to modern MMOs: try to keep an open mind. If you absolutely can't handle a game that doesn't hand everything to you on a silver platter, then maybe this isn't the game for you (Though honestly it's really not that hard, and you can easily solo in this game).

Can't recommend this game enough, please get it and tell your friends!

This is the first review I've ever written, but I just couldn't sit by and let idiots bash this game. I haven't even played for half an hour yet and can already tell this is the most complete, most polished VR game to date.

No it's not perfect, I haven't played a VR game yet that is. I will address some of the complaints I have seen below:

Poor Graphics: I truly don't understand this one. The graphics are amazing. Better than most VR "games" out right now. Exactly what I pictured standing in Skyrim would be like. I can only conclude that anyone who makes this complaint is an overly critical neckbeard who hasn't taken off their headset for days (playing skyrim, which they supposedly hate) and the light is starting to fry their brains.

Menus/ Wasn't Designed for VR: It's a port. A pretty dang good one, too. It wasn't designed for VR, morons. Yes the menus aren't as "immersive" but overall they are much easier to navigate than any other game I've played so far, and I can understand why they chose to keep them rather than overhauling the game even more than they already had to just to get it into VR. I can only conclude that the neckbeards who complain about this one not only have no idea what goes into making a game, but have never actually created anything in their life. All they know how to do is complain about other people's creations not being perfect.

XYZ Issue/Game doesn't work: Upgrade your toaster. Game works flawlessly for me and I'm not even on that good of a rig. i5 3570K with GeForce 1070. Yes, my processor is that old, still able to do max settings and a decent amount of supersampling.

XYZ Game Does 1 Specific Thing Better: This one should be obvious. Yes the bow in The Lab is slightly better than Skyrim's. Yes the combat in SUPERHOT is more fluid, etc. etc.. The difference is those games are MUCH tinier and MUCH more focused than Skyrim. In short, they are not AAA games. They are able to do 1 thing really well because that's all they are, 1 thing. They are also more of tech demos than games. Skyrim is probably the first AAA game to be executed well in VR (looking at you, Fallout 4). We should be encouraging it, not picking it apart. For someone who is sick and tired of playing tech demos and "experiences" calling themselves games, Skyrim is a huge breath of fresh air.

Hope these points were helpful. Don't listen to the haters.

Please make the full game yesterday!
