Having spent most of my life as a pretty tall person, the chance to virtually stare up at the beloved spirit creature as if I were a child again sounds like a wondrous experience. Just watch the expression on Road To VR‘s reviewer’s face as he looks up at the magical creature for the first time. That’s joy right there.
