In terms of gameplay it's a fun game, I have never been kayaking in my life and never will (I'm disabled making it impossible) so this is a nice way to get to experience it to some extent. the mechanics feel good to me and personally I found controlling the kayak rather intuitive and fun.

I'm running an 8 year old i7-4930k, MSI GTX 1080 Ti, 32Gb DDR3 RAM, Win10 Pro with everything on maximum and super sampling at 1.5 and it runs faultlessly via AirLink on Quest 2 (v42), no stutter, lag, frame drops or anything negative.
