Only 2 days left ❤️ I think most of the screenshots below are from September 5, but I didn't notice them before today - click to enlarge a screenshot:
From the RoadtoVR review.
my personal play time came to just under 17 hours. That’s a bit short of the advertised 30+
It's annoying when developers [in-general] inflate the playtime hours. Not sure who or what they base it on or why they feel it necessary but it's usually never accurate. I mean, 17-20 is still very good for the price they are asking and if there is replay value then even better.

I'm much slower than many other players, I usually take the time to enjoy the finer details in games - knowing that some artist spent a lot of time creating surfaces, textures, lighting etc. I'm sure I'll get at least 30 hours of gameplay when Scott can do it in 17 hours, lol. Also not sure if the Oculus timer is always correct, if he used that to measure play time.
To me the most important part is the rating - RoadToVR usually gives low ratings to some of the very best VR games, but not this time:

That's very close to Lone Echo (see below) - also reviewed by Scott - but much has happened in 2 years, Scott may not have awarded Lone Echo the same score today:
UploadVR rated Asgard's Wrath a perfect 5/5 = 100% 😮
That's the looks of an Oculus PCVR flagship! B)
Asgard’s Wrath Review Verdict:
Asgard’s Wrath is not only a step forward for Sanzaru Games as a development studio, but also a fundamental advancement for VR games in general. It’s a captivating experience full of enchanting adventure from start to finish. When people buy a headset with the idea of visiting strange, beautiful, and rich new worlds full of exciting things they can only do in VR, this is the type of game they’re imagining. There are some small gripes here and there and it’s not perfect by any means, but it’s certainly the best VR game yet that I’ve played. After over 25 hours of questing through the realms of Norse mythology, all I can think about is the laundry list of things I’ve still yet to discover. Asgard’s Wrath is, from top to bottom, an extraordinary accomplishment.
Final Score:
5/5 Stars | Fantastic

BTW, note that Scott Hayden from RoadToVR tested Asgard's Wrath using the Rift CV1 - that was a nice surprise! Now I won't feel so outdated using the good ol' oled screens, lol. Also based on the latest Steam Hardware Survey, for each Rift-S HMD there're 3 CV1s, so Rift CV1 is still - by far - the dominating Oculus PCVR HMD.
