What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

VAIL is plagued by aggressive monetization that blocks access to core multiplayer content behind a paywall, inconsistent matchmaking that results in one-sided matches, and technical stability issues including frequent crashes. Players also report toxic behavior in lobbies and feel the free-to-play model is misleading given the required DLC purchase for regular multiplayer. Most reviewers recommend looking at other multiplayer VR shooters instead.

Not worth it. Monetization is pushy and constant and drives a wedge in everything you can do, to the point I kinda lost any sympathy for the clearly struggling developers. Lobbies seem to have poor matchmaking, resulting in regular one-sided blowouts often decided by just one or two people on a team. And while I admit this is the case for most online VR titles, when queueing in, regardless of gamemode, you have about a 30% chance of being volunteered to babysit a neglected child who just learned about slurs. Unless you are the neglected child in question - and you have enough money to buy your way to comfortably playing the game - there are better multiplayer VR shooters out there.

VAIL is labeled “free to play,” but when my friend and I tried to join a regular multiplayer match, we hit a paywall. You can hang out in the social hub and access some free modes, but full multiplayer requires the Combat DLC. That should be clearer on the store page, it was confusing and disappointing.
Not recommended Sep 29, 2026
The game crashed after like 5 minutes of it being up for no reason. then I have to restart my Steam VR and my game just for it to happen over and over again. don't play this trash.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

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.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
