    Barbaria is a VR combat/builder mashup. Attack other players, build defenses, and equip your team as you compete to be the Mightiest in Barbaria!

    Use your fists, axes, swords, bows, rocks, or anything else you can find for intense 1st person combat action. Toss enemies to allies to be dispatched, catch rocks flying toward your head, ignite an arrow before firing it at an enemy, or launch opponents into the air with traps. Then jump out to your immortal form and watch your minions carry on the battle while you rain down meteors from above. Systemic combat, enemy AI, and player-created defenses make every battle unique.

    But remember, you aren't the only Semigod in Barbaria! Attack other player-created realms to increase your Mightiness, and receive rewards when your team successfully repels others.

    Barbaria is fun in the moment, and very visually pleasing. Assembling dungeons and raiding the dungeons of other players are both very entertaining activities, and the high-end VR implementation makes things that much better, but the overly open-ended progression system ultimately left me feeling stalled and frustrated. There is massive potential here, and with a few more guardrails in place, Barbaria would be an all-time great VR game.
