A pretty good VR shooter. It tries to elevate it to AAA quality, and it does a pretty decent job of this, good production value, fun little side things to help it feel like a fuller experience, a decent soundtrack. It executes a fairly standard "london crime" story pretty well too. The biggest downfall is its platform.

Like other exclusive games for PSVR, Sony pumps a ton of money into it well before they have put out an effectively tracked device. Your hands fly off in random directions, no matter how ideal of a setup it is. It might be better on their Aim or ps4 controller. The Move, which seems like it would be the best for this game, can hardly stay put to the point that I would say all except maybe a couple of my failures in the game were due to being unable to position them for a reload or the gun being totally thrown off when requiring to shoot from the side. Or flying off a railing while both hands firmly gripped on in front of me. Or the gun barrel being way past a friendly NPC's body but still shooting them due to it glitching out and flying back 12 feet. A real shame because there's some great stuff in this, and it is unlikely to come to another platform. Maybe psvr2 will fix it.

One great thing it did in the Worlds demo (that was expanded on for this) is still very fun. A vape or a cigar you pick up in the world will listen to the mic for you to inhale or exhale, adding to the immersion, along with a couple fun collectables to play with.

The dialogue is usually pretty competent if not extremely interesting, but sometimes it is pretty uninspired. It doesn't go full tilt with utilizing some of the advantages of VR, but it does dip its toes in with some interesting sequences in an art gallery and a dream sequence, so I applaud it for that.

The game alone, probably would be a 3.5 star experience. The VR experience with the poor tracking is probably a 1.5.

Even if the gameplay is just simple point and shoot (you don't even move on your own) this game was one of the only vr games I've played that felt triple A, especially on Psvr. I'm a big fan of big set pieces and spectacle and this game has plenty of moments like that. And the comment at the beginning isnt to discredit the gameplay because even with it's simplicity I feel that it adds enough throughout to keep it interesting and fun. Also the story is solid to, it's not gonna blow your socks off but it's a very solid action flick storyline. Overall this game was a shit ton of fun in VR and if it weren't for PSVR to PSVR2 not having backwards compatibility I might even have replayed it in the future. But because of Sony this game will probably be lost to time unless you have a Psvr 1. (8/10)

Mostly a standard shooter with decent tracking. Gets wonky at points, which is annoying, given that you can die pretty easily on normal difficulty.

The area where the game shines is its set pieces; extravagant run and gun montages that lead to you jumping to your certain death, glass and debris hailing all around. Truly exciting and immersive moments. Your mileage may vary, depending on your ability to role play as a smarmy Brit with the grip strength of Nathan Drake.

I don’t think this game gets enough credit for its attention to detail to how the world reacts to your shots. I was having so much fun just seeing what would react. For instance you ride an elevator during one of the game’s chapters and some elevator music is playing. You can actually shoot the elevator’s speaker box and break it, causing the music to fade out. The greatest reactivity came from the final confrontation with the game’s villain. You can shoot him all over his body and he will react completely differently. I tried his head (instant death), shoulder, leg, stomach (instant death), and crotch. He has different voiced lines too for the locations I tried. It’s really cool and hilarious!

Similarly they have some fun easter eggs you can interact with that function based on the built in microphone. Some items I found were a cigar, numerous vape pens, and a whistle. I love when games include these small diversions. Makes the game more immersive.

As far the story goes, it’s unfortunately in one ear out the other. I did enjoy the voice acting though. Especially the gravelly-voiced bad guy. It feels like a show/movie you’d see on Crackle.

Only thing holding it back was the PSVR, but its still a really good game with fun gunplay. Hoping for a PSVR2 sequel with free movement.

Edit: we’re not getting a sequel

7.1/10

Incredibly cinematic VR experience that turns you into the lead of an action blockbuster. The gameplay is quite varied for a first-person rail shooter, with extra actions like lockpicking, snipping wires, and climbing to spice things up. If you enjoyed the VR Worlds “London Heist” demo, you would definitely love it. The plot is as full of action movie clichés as it should be; nobody was expecting innovative storytelling from such a game.
My only complaint is that the NPCs all look like they are 120 cm tall, especially during cutscenes. I also encountered an annoying bug near the very end of the game that almost prevented me from clearing it.
