Played with the Aim controller, which is a delightful controller and I find it depressing that it only is supported by like 15 games. There is a world of potential there.

This game has two separate identities: a shooter and sci-fi adventure. I classify them as such as they feel very at odds with each other. One is a story of scientists struggling for survival, the other is our dude blasting space bugs. They certainly feel discordant.

The story mostly works and the shooting mostly works. Both can be tedious at times but for this VR baby the novelty and immersion of this play through was an experience unlike any I've had.
