I expect this to be a bit of a niche market type of game, especially considering the VR requirement, so there won't be a false advertisement hype marketing.

I heard from someone who's played this that it's pretty cool as a game with just a broad market appeal for anyone who owns a VR set. It's supposed to be really cool being able to look around at the scenery and feel as if you're really high up.

From a rock climber's perspective though (see what I did there), it's not realistic at all and doesn't equate to the real thing in any form at all. You don't even have feet.

On the other hand, there's this cool augmented reality climbing game which is pretty neat in concept:
