Into the Radius VR

It's not bad, but it's not good either: a solid 5/10. Economy: My main issue is that it's nearly impossible to progress. Near the end of the game, you're still getting paid 400 bucks (or whatever currency the game uses) to run to three different locations, kill 50+ enemies, grab three anomalies, and get back. Along the way you damage all your gear and spend around 5k on ammo and medical supplies, so you end up at a net loss. Your gun drops to 0 durability after 50 shots, and it costs about 2k to repair. Loot: My main issue with loot is that after the first few hours, you realize the only loot worth anything is in the crates. There's no point in checking cupboards or pretty much anywhere else. All you find is sunflower seeds, a buckshot round, and a cigarette. That's sad, because it removes any incentive to explore. I searched every crevice for a better gun than the one I had, but the best I found (not counting crates, which are randomized) was a SKS near the end of the game. How does that make sense? The only way to get a better gun is to buy one. There are notes and stashes, but loot still ends up being more of a nuisance than something valuable. Anomalies: I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate them.…

Into the Radius is a VR adventure/horror shooter. You wander out into the wilderness affected by some strange phenomenon and fulfill mission objectives to get cash. As you get more and more cash and fulfill more and more objectives, you gain access to stronger and stronger weapons to explore more dangerous areas and complete harder missions. Completing missions, then seeing your bank balance grow enough to upgrade your weapons is a really compelling game loop. I really enjoyed it! Pros: -Extremely atmospheric and immersive. This game utilizes VR really well making you *feel* like you are really in a post apocalyptic wasteland -Weapon variety is really good. You can play with shotguns, pistols, snipers, assault rifles, grenades, and they all have strengths and weaknesses, and they are all operated with full motion controls, all of which are fantastic -Enemy and level design makes it fun to explore and whoop ass on the shadow bad guys. You start off the game afraid of everything, then gradually turn into an unstoppable killing machine Cons: -I had a rough time getting started. I did not understand that you had to shoot the orb that bad guys left to permanently kill them. -I also h…

Rather kickass game. Kinda difficult at 1st, until you get some equipment. I do like the real world weapons, although it could use a lot more selection, like the HK g36 or for cqb the p90 & some modern shottys.

It's an interesting game, especially if you're into stalker clones. Everything felt and handled pretty well, I had no real complaints there. Performance was fine. I did get sick of fighting nothing but shadows though, and the missions became fairly repetitve. I'd give it a 6/10

Manage your resources, aim true. You'll cross the finish line

I wanted to like this. I've tried it a grand total of twice, and keep remembering why I didn't play it. It's mostly to do with the gameplay; combat feels very...off with the monsters I encountered early on. Dunno. Maybe other people would like it better.
