Played it on Quest 3 and it was perfectly fine experience.
It is a shame the game never evolves past some shot outs because there is potential here. The story never makes too much sense and following the missions can be quite confusing.
But the experience overall its pretty good. I get the feeling that a sequel expanding upon most of the mechanics could be incredible.

It's an okay game, just good enough and nothing really special.
The gameplay was way too repetitive in my opinion, except for the Yoda part (he's on the poster so no spoiler warning). The villain was kinda bad and not interesting at all, the locations are okay, nothing really recognizable from the movies. Almost all the enemies are the same and the weapons as well.
This is one of my first VR games so i might had some more fun then the average VR gamer, but it was just enough fun, just nothing really special.

A friend brought his Oculus to a get-together and what I thought would be a quick "mess around in one little VR mission" session to throw myself back into the world of VR took nearly 2 hour dull, repetitive odyssey. And that's WITH him having done the tutorial first. I can't believe one entire questline took 2 hours. Why are VR developers not only incapable of just bringing the same game pacing as regular games over to VR, but making them so so SO much worse?
On top of that, I was expecting this to take place around, you know, Galaxy's Edge. Since it's in the title. Instead, I was out in a bunch of samey canyons and caves shooting one of 5 enemy types. Oh boy! That's my favorite thing about sci-fi or space fantasy, is when you strip unique settings away and give me a hiking tour with laser guns. Disney, you've done it again, you really get this franchise!
Speaking of "getting" this franchise, gotta love how if you have any kind of barrel chest or gut that the "shove items into your chest to store them" mechanic doesn't work about half the time. Sure, Disney, the bulk of Star Wars fans are fit and beautiful. We can see it every time we're at Galaxy's Edge. We're all in no way much closer to the Wall-E people at all.
Anyhoo, this was a decent albeit repetitive distraction while waiting for a rib roast to finish, but unless I were to find myself in that exact scenario again I don't know why I would touch this soulless thing any further. Saved me the curiosity of wanting to find a PSVR 2 to try it, at least.

A fairly average tale unfortunately.
Galaxy's Edge is just OK. They have some neat-enough mechanics to get through puzzles n whatnot, and the combat is solid enough. There is some pretty good voice-acting and the game looks nice as-well.
This is all brought down with pretty bad level-design, and a complete lack of variety. Even though it's a super short game, it feels like I was doing the exact same thing over and over. The gun-play is too simple to single-handedly carry an entire game, there needed to be something else here, whether that be set-pieces, new locations, I don't know, but there needed to be more here to stop it from feeling repetitive and dull.
An overall forgettable game that I wish had more to offer.
Oh well, hopefully one day this and all the other quest exclusives will come out on PCVR so I can actually be comfortable while playing them lol.

If you want an actual VR Star Wars experience that makes you feel a bit more like you're in the world than Vader Immortal, this game is perfect for you, and is actually quite fun sometimes as a standalone game. Can get a teensy bit repetitive but the enemies and environments change quite a bit to keep it interesting.
