Description: Pick up some swords and beat down some nondescriptly evil robots in an elevator! What’s not to like? Going Up is a fast-paced science-fiction sword fighting game. Fight endless waves of enemies in a totally doomed quest to reach the end (and a less doomed quest to reach the high scoreboard).
Review: I like to be positive about most VR games, but Going Up makes it almost impossible to be nice about itself. While I feel the graphics are OK this is sadly a game that is only skin deep in beauty. It is the gameplay that really lets this game down. Every hit feels empty, every interacting feels bland, the whole game just feels kind of empty. There is some good potential here for sure as I love the concept of the game, its just that it was badly implemented. This is one game to avoid unless you pick it up for free, then you might not feel so bad when you decided that you hate it.
