Multiplayer

It's not what I'm looking for, but it's an idea that really makes Broken Edge shine as a competitive game, in large part because it solves IMO the biggest issue with VR multiplayer swordplay: making netcode for weapon clashing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is quite nice, i expected it to just be twaddling your sword around and getting hit but you actually need finesse and speed for swordplay.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the biggest draws of VR swordplay for me personally is the defensive aspect of weapons, allowing you to deflect blows as much as deal them.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each class feels different in playstyle and the devs clearly tried really hard to make them all fun to play in their own right.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is so much fun to play with a friend, choosing your character feels like choosing who you are.

Colorful art style with game mechanics that encourage the player to act like the character to win.
