The game lacks a significant narrative, with players noting that it primarily focuses on action and gameplay rather than storytelling. While the experience of battling spiders and discovering various weapons is enjoyable, the absence of a compelling story detracts from the overall depth of the game. Players recommend it for its fun mechanics but suggest that those seeking a rich narrative may be disappointed.
- “Other than that, this game was a blast! I had great fun killing spiders and finding new weapons, even ones I hadn't seen in the non-VR version. I only noticed the massive spider on the roof during the second to last mission in my first run-through. I've never been more disturbed! I would love to see if the devs are going to update it more. I would love to see some weapons have the ability to be held with two hands; I thought that would have been cool.”
- “You have silencers, shotguns, revolvers, flamethrowers, molotovs, explosives, bazookas, a frying pan, etc. You can set the whole world on fire with your single-minded quest to kill any possible spider that may be out there.”
- “I love this game! It was great fun, and I do recommend it, especially as I played on the Meta Quest 2.”
- “No real story here.”
- “I suggest you play it on the Quest 2 store (or whatever VR platform available) instead of on SteamVR.”
- “Just one issue, when using an Oculus Quest 2 the hands are on top of the controllers instead of where your hands are; maybe this is on purpose, but I think you should be able to change an offset in the settings to your preferences.”
