This is by far the best VR game available right now. Maybe Horizon will give it a run for it's money, but nothing else is in it's league IMO.

can a lenovo legion 5 pro (16gb ram) with rtx 3070 (the laptop from a walmart slickdeal 2021), can i play this game with that one? if so, what vr headset would i need? im sorry im not that familiar with playing vr… thanks in advance
Yes, you can play it with this laptop with no problem. I own this exact laptop and have played it through without any issues. The laptop has to be plugged in to play smoothly, but otherwise it worked great. I used an Oculus Quest 1 with Oculus link cable. Amazing game worth it at this price.

I'm so tempted to buy this even though I have zero chance of playing it any time soon. Heck, I still haven't finished Lone Echo or played Asgard's Wrath, and now that I have a steam deck, I'm more likely to be working on my pancake backlog. Damn you, Epic.
Oh just watch what happens if you add gamepass into the fray, knowing they remove games after a period of time.. you'll not touch your steam or epic or any other library for fear of not finishing the gamepass games before they expire.

This is literally the best video game I've ever played partly based on its immersion. Nothing I have played comes close. It's almost on another level.

I've been waiting for a sale again as I missed the one a few months ago. Glad I waited as its even cheaper now. Now I have to play this or GOW over Thanksgiving.

My nephew drives me nuts. He's on Game Pass. Every time I tell him about a nice free game, he predictably says "It's already free on Game Pass". And, of course, I say "not forever." In one ear, out the other.

I don't use VR or even anything 3D related because I can't wear contacts and I can't see without my glasses. Is there a headset I can buy for this that allows me to wear glasses with it comfortably?

Thanks!

PS: Wireless preferably.

Do you need a Valve Index to fully enjoy this? With all the fancy finger tracking tech?
I played the entire campaign with a wired quest 2 and had a blast. I told everyone at the time it was the first vr game that felt like a game and not a tech demo.

No, I played it on a quest 2 and it worked just fine. It really kinda ruins other VR games unfortunately. It's sad that nothing has come close to the quality of this game still

You can use prescription adapters that just snap on the vr headsets and voila, no glasses nor contacts needed. You can also just use spacers if you want to wear your glasses. i think the quest 2 headset has the most options iirc. I'm using the snap on prescriptions now on mine.

This game is the pinnacle of what VR games should be like. I was absolutely dumbfounded by the graphics and immersion. It drips quality and attention to detail.
