    The gameplay of "Ghosts of Tabor" is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and significant technical issues. Players appreciate the immersive gunplay and the addictive looting system, which mirrors the high-stakes environment of games like "Escape from Tarkov." However, many reviews highlight frustrating bugs, clunky controls, and tedious survival mechanics that detract from the overall experience, suggesting that while the game has great potential, it requires substantial refinement and optimization to reach its full promise.

    • “The gameplay is intense, adrenaline is constantly coursing through your veins.”
    • “Ghosts of Tabor boasts some of the most fun and repeatable gameplay I have experienced in any game, let alone in VR.”
    • “The gameplay loop is extremely addicting, it's even better with friends.”
    • “The food and drink meter goes down ridiculously fast. I understand it's supposed to be a game mechanic to ensure people don't stick around the maps until the end of the timer, creating a timer within the timer and more of a risk-reward thing, but it's really silly when my character starts dying of hunger or thirst just 10 minutes into a game.”
    • “The environment just looks straight up terrible, which is fair enough, but the gameplay mechanics are kind of just not fun.”
    • “The controls are clunky, the graphics are outdated, and the gameplay mechanics are just downright infuriating.”
  • stability
    1,056 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of "Ghosts of Tabor" has been a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as extremely buggy and prone to game-breaking glitches. While some users acknowledge the fun and potential of the game, they express frustration over frequent crashes, lost items, and inconsistent mechanics, particularly in its early access state. Overall, players recommend caution, suggesting that those sensitive to bugs should wait for further updates before diving in.

    • “This is an amazing game with no glitches and it's very polished.”
    • “Decent game, runs great on the Quest 3 with minimum issues.”
    • “Pretty fun with friends, great if solo, and surprisingly runs great with the brand new Quest 3s.”
    • “For me the game has become unplayable, I just can't get consistent results because of bugs and glitches :( (crashing for instance)”
    • “Half the time the game is literally unplayable because of new glitches that weren't present the previous wipe, every wipe.”
    • “This game is buggy beyond belief, particularly with mechanics like grenade throws, where physics often glitch, leading to catastrophic failures in an extraction-based looter shooter.”
  • story
    1,016 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game "Ghosts of Tabor" lacks a cohesive story, with players noting that it primarily features repetitive, grind-heavy missions focused on combat and item collection rather than narrative-driven quests. Many reviews highlight the absence of an overarching storyline, making the gameplay feel monotonous and unfulfilling, as missions often boil down to "kill X" or "collect Y" without any engaging context or character development. Overall, the mission structure is criticized for being uninspired and lacking variety, which detracts from the potential for a more immersive experience.

    • “Each raid is a story in its own right.”
    • “The game has its issues, and you can tell that it was held back by the quest 2 in terms of graphical fidelity, but the gameplay loop is so fun that I really don't care.”
    • “Ghosts of Tabor has no ongoing story, so any missions you accept are one-off repeatable missions that you can accept from any of the traders that you can buy from.”
    • “The quests just currently lack any kind of story or fulfilling rewards.”
    • “The trader missions are god awful and a total waste of time.”
  • graphics
    394 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of "Ghosts of Tabor" receive mixed reviews, with many players noting that they are outdated and in need of significant improvement, often comparing them unfavorably to titles from previous console generations. While some appreciate the game's visual appeal in the context of VR, others criticize the performance issues and graphical glitches that detract from the experience. Overall, there is a consensus that while the gameplay is engaging, the graphics do not meet modern standards and require further development.

    • “After playing countless FPS games both VR and PC, nothing compares to the realism of this game, from the graphics to the mechanics and everything in between.”
    • “This is such a fun game, I had it on my Oculus for a while and racked up like a few hundred hours, but on Steam it's so beautiful and has great graphics.”
    • “The graphics are pretty damn nice, I normally play on medium just because my PC isn't from NASA but I can run it reasonably well on max graphics and it does in fact look very pretty.”
    • “The graphics feel like they're from the PlayStation 1/2 era and those are the reasons I don't play consistently.”
    • “The graphics are ugly.”
    • “The graphics are not Half-Life Alyx, but it is a growing community, frantic action, frustration but also a feeling of accomplishment when things go your way.”
  • grinding
    262 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming. Reviews highlight repetitive tasks, slow progression, and a lack of rewarding gameplay, often comparing it unfavorably to other titles like Tarkov. While some players enjoy the grind as part of the experience, the overwhelming sentiment is that it detracts from overall enjoyment, making the game feel more like a chore than a fun activity.

    • “Depends on how much you like grinding.”
    • “I have a lot of videos from the game on my YouTube channel, so I have given this game a good go (142 hours at the time of review), but I enjoyed it when it wasn't as grindy, and I could still get away with only playing a couple of hours per week.”
    • “Oh well, though it’s the player, not the game. After this, I went out 5 more times doing the same thing, only this time I avoided other players, but I found that to be impossible. Every single time I went out, I got gunned down, tracked, or sunk. The skill gap in this game is insane, and if you're not grinding on wipe day, then you may as well give up.”
    • “You will find yourself left grinding the same 2 tasks over and over: kill 25 scav in 5 raids, kill 15 scav in 3 raids, etc.”
    • “The game gets staler than month-old bread fast as there's nothing stopping players from killing a boss, farming money and missions from their gear, and having infinitely higher access to high-end armor, ammo, guns, and attachments.”
    • “Leveling up merchants is excruciatingly slow, boring, and tedious, and on top of that, you can only have a total of 5 active missions from all merchants combined, which slows down the progress even further.”
  • optimization
    224 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering, crashes, and poor graphics quality, particularly on PC and various VR headsets. While some users noted improvements in performance over time, others expressed frustration with the game's lack of polish and optimization for different hardware setups, especially for standalone VR devices. Overall, the consensus indicates that while the game has potential, it currently suffers from substantial optimization challenges that detract from the overall experience.

    • “Good game, very funny especially with friends, good optimization and performance on Quest 2 via Virtual Desktop with 3060 Ti.”
    • “The game itself feels really polished, guns look visually appealing, the looting system feels great, nothing too punishing, and the maps are big in size, considering how smooth the games run, it's optimized quite well.”
    • “It has received constant updates and patches since launch and is increasing in performance, realism, features, and graphical fidelity with every update; I honestly cannot recommend this game enough.”
    • “The game is full of massive bugs, unoptimized garbage, constant crashes, useless settings that rob fps, and devs that don't seem to know what the hell they are doing.”
    • “I was quite excited for this game but it did nothing but make me mad. For reference, I have a Vive Cosmos, and when starting the game there is no optimization for this headset, so I couldn't even get past the EULA license agreement at the beginning because it wouldn't register a trigger click.”
    • “The game looks like shit too and is horribly optimized.”
  • humor
    148 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, with players frequently highlighting the hilarious interactions that arise from proximity chat and the game's quirky mechanics. Many reviews mention the comedic value of bugs and glitches, which often lead to memorable moments, especially when playing with friends. Overall, the game is described as a fun and entertaining experience, particularly in multiplayer settings, where laughter and unexpected antics are common.

    • “Especially when you miss a crucial shot because you’re too busy laughing at your friend smacking a wall with his rifle.”
    • “The game has a lot of good VOIP conversations which tend to leave you laughing hysterically by the end of it and can be a lot of fun regardless of your skill level or your gear.”
    • “I've had some genuine funny as heck experiences with people in this game thanks to the VOIP which works beautifully.”
  • monetization
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to the presence of microtransactions and DLCs that seem to offer minimal value. While some appreciate the lack of aggressive microtransactions, others criticize the game's reliance on paid content for progression, leading to a perception of it being "pay to win." Overall, players express frustration over the monetization strategy, feeling it detracts from the game's potential and quality.

    • “The lack of microtransactions is great; however, you only need to buy one DLC, as there's no benefit to purchasing more than that.”
    • “The microtransactions provide additional weapons, an ammo crafting station, and a higher rank, allowing you to buy better weapons in the shop after every wipe.”
    • “Now it's becoming more and more of a cash grab the more revenue it brings in.”
    • “I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt and consider it a feature that needs adjustment, but it's looking pretty apparent that this is a cash grab DLC on a game that isn't even out yet - but here we are in 2024 where it's accepted and normal to be selling additional things besides the base game that isn't even done yet.”
    • “Also, the microtransactions give you more weapons, an ammo crafting station, and a higher rank to let you buy better weapons in the shop after every wipe, so this game is most definitely pay to win.”
  • emotional
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players experience a wide range of emotions while engaging with the game, from moments of joy and camaraderie during cooperative play to intense frustration and rage quitting due to gameplay mechanics. The emotional highs of finding valuable loot are often countered by the lows of losing hard-earned items or struggling with controls, leading to a complex and sometimes overwhelming experience. Overall, the game elicits strong feelings, making it both memorable and polarizing for players.

    • “It's an emotional rollercoaster where you go from absolute elation to furiously rage quitting... only to think to yourself, 'Okay, one more raid.'”
    • “The first time this game made me feel superior and like I was worth something was when I found a purple keycard.”
    • “I've played VTOL VR and a crazy amount of driving games in VR, and they have never made me feel like this game has.”
  • replayability
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its exceptional replayability, with many players highlighting the thrill of loot discovery, character progression, and regular resets that keep the experience fresh. Despite some technical issues and bugs, the community engagement and ongoing updates contribute to a sense of endless replay value, making it a standout in the VR genre. Overall, players feel compelled to return for more, likening it to popular looter shooters like Escape from Tarkov.

    • “The replayability in this game is insane.”
    • “The thrill of discovering rare loot, upgrading your arsenal, and optimizing your loadout adds a layer of depth and replayability that keeps you coming back for more.”
    • “I've had VR a long time, but this is the first game that feels endlessly replayable and made me run out the battery on my headset.”
    • “No replay value.”
    • “If the devs do something to make the game even a little bit more playable, I'll delete this review.”
    • “Edit 2: Well, after a few patches the game is way more playable; however, it still has a large number of crashes and game-breaking bugs.”
  • atmosphere
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its immersive realism and detailed design, creating a captivating environment that feels both tangible and otherworldly. However, some players find certain maps lacking in atmosphere and express frustration with gameplay mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Overall, while the atmosphere is a highlight for many, there are mixed feelings about its consistency across different environments.

    • “From the moment you step into the virtual world, the atmospheric design and attention to detail draw you in, creating an environment that feels both tangible and otherworldly.”
    • “I love the atmosphere this game has whether on a raid, in the bunker, or at the market.”
    • “My first day in and I gotta say I love it; it has its fair share of jank such as guns getting jammed in walls if you take a corner too tight and sometimes speed reloading is a pain because you have to find the sweet spot. However, the atmosphere is incredible.”
    • “The environments/maps just feel dead with no atmosphere, clunky gunplay, and really poor tutorials (you miss even a second of the video and you have to start the whole segment video again).”
    • “That said, when it is finished, it better be damn good, or I am just going to play more into the radius, because that game blows this one out of the water, not just in terms of quality but also atmosphere and just general concept.”
    • “-lost a considerable amount of items due to them falling out of the world, despawning, flying into the atmosphere, and not being able to interact with them.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it irritating and overly prominent during gameplay, particularly during looting activities. Many noted a lack of ambient sounds, which contributes to a quiet atmosphere dominated by orchestral music, making certain tasks feel prolonged and tedious. Overall, the music seems to detract from the immersive experience rather than enhance it.

    • “It's so quiet too, like no ambient sounds, no footsteps, no music, only gun-related noises.”
    • “In a game where looting is one of the primary objectives, the simple act of picking things up and putting them in a bag is a two-minute ordeal with orchestral music.”
    • “Half of my time is spent listening to music and sorting my hideout, to be honest.”
