Insanely slept on in the VR space imo. After The Fall is the closest and best thing to a VR Left 4 Dead. It's got great game feel, a really unique and well designed aesthetic, an actual narrative campaign, and a really smart progression system that encourages replaying the few available campaigns on progressively higher and higher difficulties. I've played through this whole game on PCVR as well as Quest 2 and had a great experience with both versions.
Got this because I was looking for a VR shooter with some actual single player and pve content. This advertised a solo campaign and pve against enemies with actual guns instead of just the standard zombies. Sounds cool.
Ehhhh
So the campaign is actually just about 8 multiplayer matches you play by yourself with zero narrative where bots slowly walk towards you firing blindly. The coop is these same bots in waves. It's bad.
The multiplayer feels like worse Pavlov.
I heard this game was all about the mods, but maybe those just don't work on Quest 2 because I couldn't find any servers working with modded content??
Refunded.

Mixed feelings. Game plays great and is actually really fun, but as you climb the online ranks you start getting put into more "advanced" tracks all of which are the exact same tracks you've been playing but with tons of stupid orange hazard blocks scattered everywhere. Yeah, it's certainly more challenging but it's a lot less fun. The game's at it's best on simple straightforward tracks with lots of interesting shortcuts and hidden boosters that reward using the full movement tools you're given.
Also feels like this mode is almost already dead. Epic is stil pushing Lego and Festival very hard in promotion but it already feels like RR is being left with a skeleton crew just porting over old Rocket League assets. A real shame.
