That happens instantly the first time you are told to press the button on the side of your lightsaber to summon your blade.

Some of this is because far less of the display is being used for this game, but in this case the why isn't nearly as important as the ability to keep swinging that lightsaber.Īll of this tech serves a single purpose, to make you feel immersed in this world. In my tests with the Moto Z2 Force Lenovo provided for this review, an hour of gameplay would cost anywhere between 18% and 20% of the battery, which is considerably less than most VR counterparts. One thing Lenovo's design handles beautifully is ensure the battery on your phone isn't toast after gameplay. It helps the game figure out how much space you have to play in, and makes it possible for you to wander around and interact with the holograms. The game uses that beacon as a marker for where to put things like the menu. Once everything is set up, you place the included beacon somewhere in your room and press a button on the lightsaber to let the game know you are ready to go.

If you didn't believe in The Force before, you seriously consider starting. For less technically-minded people, this quickly becomes complicated enough to cause frustration. For technically-minded players this isn't so much complicated as it is tedious. If you need to use your phone to answer a call or anything while the phone is in the headset, you have to repeat this process to get back into your game. If you do any of this out of order, there's a good chance you have to start over.

Setting this headset up is a little more complicated than it maybe should be.
