“Now I am not one to post comments often. This game though is amazing in its own way, and I would recommend it. The original OrbusVR graphics were not great but the game play and story did get your attention. The people…”
“Orbus VR is the Runescape or Everquest of VR. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/HRjlxqIzAco Interview with Riely Dutton: https://youtu.be/btIl4sez_Xw The biggest complaint about Orbus from most people who haven't played it is…”
“TL;DR game is deffinately worth playing.... After putting in roughly 50+ hours throughout the closed betas, I have thoroughly enjoyed this game. I will try and not make this a wall of text even though there is LOTS i…”

“The Spell Casting system is the bee's knees. Been playing since the Preborn Alpha, with more or less the same people. Which should go to show that this game has the potential to forge new and long-lasting friendships.”
“Be careful... If you play this, it's like taking the red pill in the Matrix guys.... You will never see things the same way again. In my opinion, this is easily the most groundbreaking release since Everquest, which…”

“This is by far one of the best VR social experiences I have had in the years of owning my Vive. The amount of content already warrants the purchase price and then some, and there are already 2 more content updates on…”
“I was a beta tester so i have watched this game develop over several months thus far and have way more hours in it than it displays in steam. I have sunk more hours in this game than the next 5 of my favorite VR games…”
“Played On: HTC Vive OrbusVR is the world's first (and currently only) MMORPG for virtual reality. The game has undergone a huge amount of changes between its days in Early Access in 2017, versus its full Reborn release…”

“+ Well implemented movement options and menus + I like the Wind Waker style graphics + Cool crafting and fishing mechanics + VR w/ proximity voice make social aspects of MMOs awesome - Combat is dull. No real dodging,…”
“The game has 4 different classes, you start of pretty weak in each of them. Immediately after leaving the tutorial area, a guy asked me for directions to the first quest (spoiler hidden) , which I was looking for as…”

“Being honest, Orbus is not the vrmmo that I have been longing for. There are a handful of annoying bugs that you might experience, the graphics take some time to get used to, the world (at least in the early game) seems…”

“I usually spend 5-10h max in any VR game before I'm bored. This one I'm at 20+ and it never felt boring or anything, so it's clearly worth the price to me. Yesterday (2018-01-04) it was the most popular VR game on Steam…”

“I really really WANT to recommend this game, I love the idea, and there are so many fantastic concepts in the game. However, the core of the game really is combat, and there are just too many problems with it in my mind…”
“All in all, I am a soft mark for this kind of game. A VR MMO is pretty much exactly what I'd like to see. If it handled any one part of being an MMO competently then I'd be all over it. If the combat felt good I'd just…”

I have since quit my job and have devoted my life to memorizing spells as a rune mage. TL;DR: This game captures that same feeling I got 14 years ago when I…”

Basic af & and still janky. ...and that's after they dumbed down the game's graphics because they took that Facebook money to change the entire game to play on the Facebook Oculus Quest 1. Didn't even leave the previous features in higher…”
