SaberSaw VR Reviews

SaberSaw VR is a very badly made VR exclusive ripoff of Fruit Ninja... yes, another one. Wave your arms around to cut robot balls in half (what did the robots do to deserve that)?? There's a shield as well and in this ripoff, the fruit shoots at you, but you know, it's still worse than just playing Fruit Ninja on your phone. There's bad hit detection and the game isn't compatible with most, if not all VR headsets, so if you wanted to have a bad time in VR, this might not even be able to deliver that for you. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? SaberSaw VR has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $7 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $7 asking price for this game could get you games like "Bioshock Infinite", "Monster Hunter World" or "Yakuza Kiwami". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.
