Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment.

The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...
