It has a very interesting gameplay, it has depht, replayability and is just fantastic in VR.

It does have a rather steep learning curve - the editor is quite in depth and things like weight distribution, thrust vectors, and all that stuff matters.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

All the axis' and buttons for the controllers were mapped well by defalt, so I only had to do minimal adjustments to the controller setup to get it to my liking.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
Vector 36 is immersive WITHOUT lifelike graphics, and that's pretty damn admirable.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
But the good - so much good - the way the skimmers handle, multiplayer works very well, the environment, the look and feel, the speed rush - the vibe of the thing - magnificent.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
11 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
I play this game on gnu/Linux (the reason why I found it in the first place), where it runs beautifully - the performance looks to be better than on win 7 right now, for whatever reasons. playing with a DK2 is incredible, the game is made with VR in mind and it really shows, it's really a must have for VR owners.
