— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“ive played this game for 60 hours and i dont think i should be as good as i am. i had deleted the game for a while and just came back to it and started formation flying. some guy thought i was good at it and invited me to his team. super fun game will play for the rest of my life”
— a player, Steam review · 68 hrs played“Quite simply, one of the best VR titles in existence. If you are even remotely interested in flying in VR, get this game. If you are not interested in VR flying games, you will be after playing this. You will not be disappointed, it’s worth easily double its asking price.”
