Joystick turning with yaw, while using the SpeedBoots mutator is lots of fun, but you will need to work yourself up to a comfortable level first!
Thanks!

Jumping with controller gesture's (physics based)
also, combine a trackpad jump + controller jump to do tricks!!!!
Tricks like - Dodging, Doublejump, Speed jumping (time to strafe jump in vr lads!)
To initiate hold down the climb button, move your controllers down quickly and then release the button, you should quickly get the hang of it, it is all about timing the release correctly.

Finally, if there is a wall you see that looks bad ass, you can climb right up that bad boy! Why? Because you can! and it's fun!
You cannot shoot while you are climbing though, so watch your back!

A slick and fast-paced arena shooter with clean movement and classic FPS energy. Fun for quick competitive matches.

[h2]VR or Not, This Is Still Mid[/h2] Extremely mid FPS game. I guess the main selling point is that you can play it in VR, but I don’t care at all about that, so for me it’s just mid. The game is an arena shooter, but it lacks any interesting movement mechanics. There’s no strafe jumping like in Quake, no double jumping or dodging like in Unreal Tournament. Instead, you just have standard running and jumping, which makes the whole experience feel bland for an arena shooter. I can understand why they avoided advanced movement - fast, chaotic motion wouldn’t be comfortable in VR - but that raises an important question: why even make an arena shooter in VR in the first place? VR is terrible for rapid camera movement, which is basically a core feature of the genre. This honestly feels like one of the worst genres you could choose for a VR game. The game is essentially dead, though you can still play against bots and earn all achievements. One thing that really annoyed me was the match setup. When selecting maps, game modes, and match options, changing values with the keyboard simply DOESN’T WORK. For example, if you type a number to change the kill limit and then start the match, th…

Игра *Protonwar* — захватывающий гибрид стратегии и экшена с ярким визуальным стилем. Управление простое, но требует стратегического мышления: нужно управлять флотом, развивать технологии и противостоять врагам. Графика анимированная, с динамичными боевыми сценами. Звуковое сопровождение умеренное, но соответствует настроению. Минус — скука в одиночных миссиях. Подойдет тем, кто любит тактику и быстрые темпы. Рекомендую для развлечения, но не более.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.
