I have been using the Odyssey+ for several months using Steam to play most of my game titles and playing Oculus games through it as well. The nearly invisible screen door effect and the bright OLED display has been amazing and when Half-life: Alyx came out, it has played it beautifully. I have a pretty middle of the road system: Coffee Lake I-5 9400F (I don't overclock), and MSI Z-390 (on sale), 32 gb of DDR 4 memory, a RTX 2070 8 gb (old not super), and Windows 10 Home.I waited until it was restocked on Amazon and paid the regular retail price. It’s already pricey without the price gouging. I was expecting a downgrade in quality, with a Qualcomm 835 processor, 4 gigabytes of ram, and whatever the onboard video is. While the texture and visual quality and was definitely scaled back, the wireless freedom with a room scale possibility of 25'x25’ was why I bought it in the first place. It’s a tradeoff. Out of the box, the setup was very easy with my cell phone via Bluetooth. The guardian boundary is point-and-paint. I love the pass-through camera to see the outside world with a simple double tap on the side of the visor. The hand tracking was neat, but only a few titles support It fir now. The Quest controllers are comfortable and responsive, but I need to tape the battery compartment shut with more intense gaming. They only need 1 AA battery each, and the provided batteries are still at 50% after a week. Many of the game titles I bought the full version from Oculus was available to download the Oculus Quest version. So far, not problems with any of the programs. I never found the reduced quality took away from the feeling of immersion. The field of view is narrower than the Odyssey+, but being untethered more than made up for it.Now the best part-Oculus Link. The included charging cable also allowed for me to access the Oculus Link beta mode to connect to my PC that can pump out considerably more pixels and high quality textures. The charging cable is rated as a USB 2 and the Oculus test gave me at least 380 Mbits per second. I played a couple of titles like Lone Echo and Blade and Sorcery. They were more grainy and there was juddering and occasional stalls when changing scenes which broke the immersion. So I bought a $20 10' USB C to A cable rated as USB 3.1. Once connected, the Oculus program showed it was a USB 3 connection. After a quick test, the bandwidth was at 2 Gigabits per second. I hear the official Oculus Quest Link cable is significantly higher, but several reviews saw very little subjective difference in terms of playability and image quality.So the game I am focusing on was Lone Echo. I just love that game with both a great narrative and a fully immersive VR experience. The relationship between Jack (Echo I) and Liv is endearing. It would stutter a lot on my Odyssey+ even when turning down the quality with a lot a jagged edges with AA on. So I activated the link, opened LE and cranking the resolution to 1.8, all settings to high, and 4x anti-aliasing-there was no stutter! There were also more texture details and I could read small text. There is something to be said about playing a game on its native platform. Far away objects were less distinct on the Quest, with more screen door effect. However the Odyssey is too clear and objects at a distance reveal all the jaggy lines, but also softer up close because of their anti-screen door solution. Not that it was terrible, but the Oculus Quest Link provided a more immersive experience. The one downgrade was with the 90hz refresh rate on the Odyssey vs the 72hz on the Quest. Fast moving effects tended to streak a bit with the Quest, but not terribly so. I did like the better tracking for Blade and Sorcery on the Quest to easily decapitate my foes. I watched Netflix and Amazon Prime movies which are definitely nice to watch on a huge and acceptably pixelated virtual theater screen. The OLED screens do not disappoint with vibrant colors and true blacks. The OLED pentile matrix, as opposed to RGB panels, show some color banding and probably contribute to the SDE.The Quest is simply one of the most versatile headsets around. It has some issues as a stand alone unit with scaled back graphics, a fairly short battery life (but charges quickly), and a narrower field of vision (possibly 90 with the Quest to the Odyssey's 110 degree). With a slightly reduced refresh rate of 72 from 90hz standard, the Oculus Link majes up for it-that is if you have a more powerful computer.If you have yet to step into VR, you probably won't notice. As far as comfort, it is front heavy with the face pad being a bit stiff and left me with maskface. The head gear is hard to fit comfortably. I added an additional velcro strap I got for $10 for the Odyssey+, I was able to redistribute the weight and I could play for two hours at a time. I never got VR sickness on the quest, and I guess I’m the lucky few to never have experienced it. This is a consideration for those new to VR. Some will get VR nausea in the beginning no matter how high the refresh rate, but the there are features, like a comfort vignette when moving. The 128 gb model is worth it for the future, as more and more games are being created, and then there’s side-loading. It’s always good to have headroom should theIt is a remarkable product, considering it's using a mobile processor from 2017, with it getting considerably more functional through software updates. Oculus has made quality VR a very accessible option for the average person, with advanced options for the more veteran VR user.My only real complaint is that some games are rather pricey and their store can become a money pit. Oculus has a good refund policy, if requested within two weeks of purchase and it was used no more than two hours. Other than that, I would purchase it before it is out of stock again and you’re left to the gougers.
