Favorite VR Experience: Vader Immortal 3
One of the favorite VR experiences of Steve is Vader Immortal 3. Specifically, the lightsaber dojo mini-game within the Vader Immortal series. Steve mentions spending a lot of time in this game and enjoys the physical activity it offers. It serves as a great workout in VR and gets the heart rate up more than other VR exercises. Steve initially started by dual-wielding lightsabers and throwing them, but has since mastered using one lightsaber in each hand for a more challenging experience.
