Early Access Review
Gorn is a battle gladiaor simulator. It contains many types of weapons and powers. It may not look like a whole lot from the trailer or from gamplay, but it really never feels old. There is always something to do within the custom mode, boss mode, endless mode, party mode, or normal arena mode. With each weapon, it is a different experience. You have to stratagise around depending on what weapon you have. If you don't like to see all the bood and gore, you can turn your enemies into walking pinatas spilling out candy, which makes you feel far less insane. You can also give the middle finger...cause that's a thing.

This isn't a perfect game though... yet. It is still in early access, so it isn't completely a finished product yet. From playing this game on the oculus rift, I have encountered a few audio problems. At first the game didn't even have sound at all. I googled up how to fix it, and sure enough there was an answer. I went into my windows settings and disabled all of the other audio devices except the rift headphones. After I was finished with that game session, I re-enabled all of the devices except for the steam streaming mic and the steam streaming audio and the audio continued to work. Recently, when I was about to be killed by enemies in-game, my audio would temperarily cut out for a few seconds to almost a minute. I am not sure if this is because of a recent update that cuts out your hearing at near-death, or if this is just a bug. Either way, I don't really like it.

But overall, this is a pretty good game. It is actually one of my favorite VR experiences so far that I have played. Sure, the devs need to work on it some and add a little more content, but this is a fun game. And after all, that is the whole point of video games, isn't it? At the current state, I give this game an 8/10.

PS. The amount of hours that it says reviewers have played may be too low if they use an Oculus Rift. (Like Myself) When the game is launched from Oculus home, (Which I normally do) it doesn't track the amount of time played on steam. In other words, I have a lot more hours on this game than it says I do.
