    Was really looking forward to playing this game on my new Valve Index. It says Valve Index is supported yet the controller is not making it unplayable.

    This game is a hidden gem buried under negative reviews. It's not devoid of negative points (I'm gonna get to that later on), but it's a game that really takes advantage of what VR has to offer. First off, the graphics are incredible. I was amazed by some of the environments, and had to stop more than one time just to enjoy the scenery, because you really feel the sense of scale in that game, it's really impressive. …

    The controlls are a bit finicky, but once you get past that, it's a decent game that looks pretty. A quick tip for Quest users. If you're using Virtual Desktop of Steamlink, it will likely default to the Vive controls, which makes it almost unplayable on Quest. I used a a Quest 3, and once I played it using Quest Link/Air Link, it recognized my Oculus controls and worked properly.
