The game very much feels like its in EA. Lots and lots of rough edges. The guns feel odd, sort of spacey knock offs of the typical military load out. Reloading is a pain, if you have anything left in your clip you need to throw it out and put in a new one - which sounds fine, but then you randomly grab your swipe card instead of your ammo. Picking up items is a pain, ammo clip into corpses and scenery. And you randomly grab your swipe card, or pistol (if you have another weapon in your hand). Killing enemies is a pain. They sometimes fire thru objects, they sometimes fire at you when you are well tucked out of the way - that bit is fine, its just you get a 1 second slow down effect every time a bullet comes at you, even if you are in zero danger and the bullet is in another room. The bottom line is, the game feels like it has a lot of work needed. It recently got a huge price drop, so I gave it a try, and I was finding it a bit annoying, but OKAY for the money up til a certain point. Mild spoiler [spoiler]You find yourself in a cave level getting teleported into the middle of a bunch of mobs, a bit like old school quake on a really high difficulty, and the things I mentioned (…

Cool action shooter set in a space station where you are given various missions to complete. Has a 70's sci-fi movie feel to it and the artwork isn't too bad. It's a one-person indie project and it shows but it's still a fun little game and better than a lot of those other VR project games. The AI models are little janky at times and their animation can look weird. The holster areas can get in the way and you will find having to reholster the weapon when trying to pick something up. The voice acting is ok for what it is and the sound is retro at times but gets flowing when the action starts. Price seems fair with the amount of work gone into it although probably be better at $3 to $5 range and sell more. I have only played minimal time in it so far but it has the pull to make me load it again, which I will and play through it to the end. That's a rare thing with some of these lone indie dev VR games.
