story
462 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in this VR wave shooter offers a decent, though often generic, cyberpunk narrative with solid voice acting and immersive world-building that adds depth beyond typical wave-based combat. While some find the plot engaging and well-presented with humor and twists, others critique it as clichéd, tone-deaf, or superficial, with pacing and story delivery sometimes hindered by repetitive missions and technical issues. Overall, the story provides enough backdrop to enhance immersion but is secondary to the gameplay, appealing more to players who appreciate setting and voice work rather than deep storytelling.
“Switching between characters significantly changes the pacing and strategy of missions, making repeated playthroughs feel fresh instead of repetitive.”
“What begins seeming like a cliché "end of the world" scenario slowly develops through comedy into being something that is shorter but rivals Evangelion in twists.”
“Probably one of the best story-driven VR combat games I've played.”
“The story is outright tone deaf. I cannot take this game's story seriously, and I cannot enjoy the game when they ruin it with such a tone deaf story like this.”
“Story is not written very well and I found myself very frustrated with their 'tutorial' that could have easily been consolidated into their main story.”
“- The story is extremely generic, and they went for a Glados-type robot making snarky comments all except it's just really annoying and he won't shut up.”

70%Raw Data Review
In spite of a lack of different enemies and occasionally unreliable motion controls, Raw Data nonetheless stands as one of the more intuitive and satisfying shooters available on PSVR.
65%Destroy them, my robots! - Raw Data Vive and Rift co-op review
The team at Survios have done something few others have accomplished in the VR sphere - they’ve put out a whole game. It’s not a concept, it isn’t Early Access, and it’s not a half baked demo - Raw Data is a complete product featuring a single-player campaign, cooperative multiplayer, PVP, multiple classes, and more. While there are still a few bugs to iron out, Raw Data manages to elevate itself above the usual wave shooter fare.
