I'm not going to lie: spinning the boards and zooming in/out in VR is awesome . The best part? All that work led to tons of testing and polishing that also benefits the PC (flat-screen) version, with lots ofbug fixes, QoL tweaks, and general improvements across the game. Also, Successor will be 20% off during the Autumn Sale.
