Edited this review after all of the MAJOR issues have now been fixed.

This game is the most fun I've ever had in VR. The single-player campaign is fun even though it's short. I'll be playing through it on every difficulty and trying to unlock all of the medals for each level.

The game is really about the PVP. There's a dogfight mode which I didn't put much stock in before the game's release however this is just ridiculously fun.

There is also a PVP mode called fleet battles that resembles a MOBA. It is extremely fun playing it with friends where you're discussing how you can win or what you need to do better on the enemy's next attack.

My big criticism is that there are some cheese mechanics in the MOBA mode (and in dogfights to an extent) that are too strong and not in the spirit of the game. I am a big fan of emergent gameplay and tactics in PVP games, but bombers basically fly up to your capital ship, sit still and unload on your ship until someone shoots them down. They will always do more damage that way than playing "right" and doing bombing runs. It really breaks the fun of the game and doing damage is no longer about flying as a squad together, it's about sneaking a bomber in under the enemy team's noses. If that issue gets fixed, I could see this game lasting a long time.
