Negative: Many issues on Meta Quest 3. Steam link causes fatal error on launch. Air link cause fatal error if motion controllers are used. The only way it worked was using Air link + gamepad. Positive: Game is fun to play, nice environment, especially later in the game. Loved the cat. Got 5 hours of fun, spending only 80cents or so on sale.
