If you're a disc golfer and you have VR, picking this up (especially if on sale) is a no-brainer. It's a 4/5 stars for me, lots of the things that make the original phone game popular are brought to this port and make it great as well. Particularly, the level design of the courses that I really enjoy. But this game has better disc physics and and flight calculation than anything else out there, by far... even if it still leaves a bit more to be desired. I still think you want to buy this game... if they do actually continue to develop it (it's been 1.5 years since it was released as early access, and no updates), that's just a bonus. Let's hope they do.
Let's just put it this way; yes, it appears to be abandon-ware. But, you're either buying this game, or you're never going to buy a VR disc golf title... because it'll be a few years before anything comes out that's better than this as it is already.
If you're a disc golfer (and I assume you are if you're interested in this game), your disc golf throwing mechanic isn't going to translate to this game straight up. But after some trial and error, you can adapt, and it works. It's a decent effort to match the two, though I do hope development resumes and they further refine it. The main thing to know going in is if you want to throw a 10 speed driver 350 ft in this game, you're actually going to want to "throw" with the equivalent of 100 ft of standstill power, which is enough to achieve the games maximum disc speed of "30". Anything more than that, and it seems to screw up the games interpretation of the release angle of the disc, so you get cut rollers and early releases, at least on the Rift CV1. If you think about it, that's to be expected; no one is going to build a game that actually rewards you going dangerously crazy in your little VR space trying to gain extra distance. Full power throws without letting go of the controller are bad for your elbow. So just give everything a smooth, soft flick, play with the release angle and disc selection, and you'll have fun.
My only other complaint, the scale of the game is quite off. What you're told is a 30 ft putt actually feels like a tap in. But all of it being relative, if you ignore the numbers it gives you, the ratio of the disc to the throws to the basket size all free "right"... except for maybe the putting which is a little too touchy for me.
