A prime example of how VR game should be done. Everything you want to do in this game you just do it and it just works.

Throwing grenades feels so natural, you just fling'em and they go where you wanted.

Gun play is amazing, there are only a few weapons, but the upgrades make you feel attached to them and it isn't bothersome at all.

Enemies are though and scary, you'll find yourself running back and taking cover in every opportunity, but this only makes the game more fun and immersive. Manhacks are deadlier than ever, combines are scary, headcrabs make you jumpy.

The environment of the game is very diverse and full of life and objects for you to play with. Everything is dynamic and only a few props are static, you really feel like you're actually in there. The dark areas of the game really makes you feel fear of the dark even you're not prone to it.

The story is very good, it's not a masterpiece in terms of writing but it's still very engaging and fun. The characters are somewhat loveable and make sense (I didn't finish the game so this is my opinion so far).

Performance-wise the game is incredibly heavy and takes a beast of a machine to run it. This is not surprising when you compare it's graphics and physics to other well-known VR titles. Hopefully you can run it decently on low or medium. I got a ryzen 5 1600x and a RTX 2060, 16gb of ddr4 and an SSD, still, I'm not able to run it past medium without sttuters or low frame rate.

All in all it's a game every VR developer should regard as a model in terms of gameplay, everything is simplified and feels natural, this only increses the immersion which is THE most important aspect to consider in a VR game.

Final veredict: 9/10, everyone who hasa capable pc and a VR headset SHOULD play this game.
