The gameplay is characterized by sharp, intuitive tactical mechanics and immersive 4v4 action, enhanced by well-designed maps and a user-friendly control scheme. Players appreciate the depth provided by loadouts and unlocks, as well as the fast-paced, balanced shooting experience that minimizes VR-related discomfort. However, some users note a lack of diverse gameplay modes and issues with the lobby system, which detracts from the overall experience.
“Its sharp, intuitive tactical gameplay and well-designed maps make for intense 4v4 action that’s a level above anything else available on PlayStation VR.”
“Incredibly immersive, intuitive gameplay, tense and tactical, yet player-friendly, with plenty of depth via loadouts and unlocks. Highly polished and comfortable to play in VR.”
“Fast-paced and immersive shooting, 4v4 tactical gameplay is highly balanced, and the progression system provides player growth. VR is nausea-free, and the PS Aim controller feels badass!”
“The laundry list of missing features, such as different gameplay modes or operator customization in the lobby, the PSVR just doesn't have the resolution necessary to make player models look good when not in motion. The economy currently takes too many matches to unlock any meaningful upgrades, and the lobby system greatly needs work, such as returning after every round, which leads to massive stretches of downtime away from the action. Shotguns are an utter waste of cryptocoins.”

Critic Reviews
Firewall: Zero Hour Review
Firewall: Zero Hour borrows from some of the greatest shooters around and tacks on some great VR support. However, the sum is not quite equal to its parts and the feeling one gets from playing the final game is that it's somewhat incomplete and not worth investing much time in.

Firewall Zero Hour is a masterclass in accessible, immersive VR first-person shooting. Its sharp, intuitive tactical gameplay and well-designed maps make for intense 4v4 action that’s a level above anything else available on PlayStation VR. However, it cannot be ignored that the progression slog and rapidly emptying lobbies make Firewall a difficult game to commit to. Grab a few friends for a couple of action-packed rounds and you’ll have some of your best VR experiences, but go in alone and you’ll be frustrated sooner rather than later.
