  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring solid shooting mechanics and a fun combat experience, though some players find it a bit shallow and lacking depth as they progress. The cooperative play adds to the enjoyment, and while the mechanics are simple, they are varied enough to keep things interesting. Overall, the game offers a classic shooter feel with engaging audio and production values, making it a worthwhile experience, especially for fans of the genre.

    • “This game was such a fun experience - I loved the gameplay, the combat, and the overall feel from start to finish!”
    • “Shooting mechanics are solid.”
    • “Story is reasonably engaging, production value equals a typical console title, and the gunplay and core mechanics are fantastic.”
    • “This kind of gameplay works, but I never really felt that the shield was any more effective than simply using the left hand to siphon health power-ups and healing through all incoming fire.”
    • “Gameplay is just a little shallow though.”
    • “So far, the gameplay never really deepens as you progress in the game.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as a medium-length, approximately four-hour experience that is engaging yet somewhat predictable and goofy, typical of sci-fi VR shooters. While the production value is comparable to a standard console title and the gameplay mechanics are praised, the narrative lacks depth and character development, leading to a desire for more content and variety in missions. Overall, the story serves its purpose but is not the main draw of the game.

    • “Excellent performance, medium length storyline (~4 hours), excellent voice acting, audio, and fun gameplay.”
    • “Story is reasonably engaging, production value equals a typical console title, and the gunplay and core mechanics are fantastic.”
    • “The story is fine.”
    • “The story is goofy and by-the-numbers, but if you're playing sci-fi VR shooters (that aren't Half-Life: Alyx) for the story, then you're going to have a bad time.”
    • “The game only has 9 campaign missions and a survival mode with no leaderboards; it could use more to break up the action, and there's no character growth or limited options.”
    • “Solid game with lacking content; if you add RPG elements and procedurally generated missions, I would give it a solid 8 or 9 out of 10.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their polish and immersive quality, contributing to an engaging VR experience with beautiful visuals and impressive performance.

    • “Graphics are polished, which provides an immersive VR escape.”
    • “Gorgeous visuals.”
    • “Beautiful graphics.”
    • “The graphics seemed a bit rough as well; with a 1080 Ti on wireless, there was some minor lag at times (might be the wireless, but none of my other games have done this).”
    • “Crazy to me that a VR game with solid performance, decent graphics, free locomotion, quality 90s Fear Factory inspired soundtrack, and a pretty wicked leash system (for weakened enemies) is sitting on mixed reviews.”
    • “There are different settings for movement, graphics, audio, etc. It has free locomotion, but it's headset directed only.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received enthusiastic praise, with players highlighting its energetic and engaging quality that enhances the gameplay experience. Many users noted that the soundtrack, inspired by 90s industrial music, significantly elevates the intensity during combat, prompting them to increase the volume to fully enjoy it. Overall, the music is seen as a standout feature that contributes positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “The music though - omg dev team come on who said you could make the music go this hard!?”
    • “<3 I actually turned the music up 20% higher than the rest of the volume because once that fight music kicks in, the gameplay really takes off and shines in my opinion.”
    • “Crazy to me that a VR game with solid performance, decent graphics, free locomotion, a quality 90s Fear Factory inspired soundtrack, and a pretty wicked leash system (for weakened enemies) is sitting on mixed reviews.”
