This game is absolutely amazing and the developing studio is aswell. If you grew up with Dark Messiah of Might&Magic - this is nearly exactly that as a vr title. Everything in this game works well because its physics based and not very wonky but as you expect it. You can block, slice, stab with every weapon according to its pointy bits - grab, climb and interact with nearly every single asset you see. All this with great textures, effects and - oh speaking of effects? MAGIC as well! Couldnt forget about the sorcery part. And like the rest, it just works, basic types of magic and an open sandbox combines into great roleplay as an arch mage or an evil wizard or a sneaky sith.

I have been playing this since the early access and I finally write this review because the full release and every major update in between has been amazing. The studio delivers, interacts with the community and has been acknowledging and support their modding community, which just increases the value of this game multiple times over! So it absolutely deserves to be recommended!

This one is absolutely lifeless, no bathrooms, no outside, just multiple rooms with fireplaces, tables and couches. 1 Library and 1 Bedroom though. Everything is plastered with mounts and taxidermy spaces, good to show everything, but just feels lika storage area in that way. Cannot show weapons aswell.

After playing all chivalry parts (and mordhau and war of the roses) I am absolutely baffled how this sequence got so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad... unbalanced maps and worst of all - a server hit reg that seems like everyone plays singleplayer and the server takes 2 seconds to roll a dice â la RPG to decide who did damage and who didnt.

I'm done with capturing footage, reviewing and just thinking wtf happened. With all my experience and knowledge in mind.
I do not understand how a dagger cannot attack faster than a recovering great highland sword can recover and parry (or worse, how after a parry, the great claymore is faster than the dagger) who thought of this, just because rock paper scissors the parry has the advantage?! Everyone has backup weapons, sometimes you should be forced to switch.

This may certainly sound like a rage fueled review... but after around 75hours I noticed that I am just straight up not having fun 80% of the time... just to get a satisfying kill(feedback) I rather play games were I decide what risks to take and which teammates I'm playing with.

Not saying you cannot have fun, or honorable duels or straight up adrenaline boosted berserker rages, all fun and games... just not worth the frustration around those moments.

Absolute Yes on the recommendation. This game has (since ever):
- Great design on levels, characters, music, art, gun- and gameplay
- Even greater amount of customization for almost all of the above
- Awesome developers and constant updates
- Huge playerbase
- Not to mention its freakin F2P with fair monetization (you can earn premium currency ingame and pretty easily)
Cons:
- constant ♥♥♥♥ thats going on on the screen can be overwhelming
- prone to bugging out with its multiplayer-level-loading (which can be easily forgiven as this happens mostly to new stuff or when someone has a bad connection/hosting)

abandoned, sadly, as it had something going for it

One of my quickest review, maybe I'll revisit: Literally 1 full room and worse then warsow - just wasted 0,90€ on a 95% off sale

This game is amazing, got it right from the start and felt it was a little bit simple in terms of game details and graphics at the time - now I absolutely don't care about that.
You have so many different game modes and an amazing multiplayer. Sadly not the most player at all times due to the niche market but its worth it.
I was suprised when this game had bots, then multiplayer and after a while of not playing - this game surprised me again.
It has working vehicles and huge maps in multiplayer and even added a freaking battle royal mode. Dropping down yourself caring about your surroundings and managing the loot all the time while orientating towards the circle is a lot of fun. Some things are even better than in the common br games.

Sadly quite niche next to H3VR, Onwards and Pavlov - but has many things from all those games that make a great experience overall.

After more than 2 years, I revisitted this "still in early access, release planned whenever (or 2045)" project. I cringe when i hear (interviews with) dean halls opinions on anything development related while this ****show is still not done.

I only recommend this game if you:
A - have countless hours at hands to walk the lands and search loot till you die
B - you have played arma and can handle the performance and stiffness of animations and the engine itself.
C - have the enthusiasm to learn the entire wiki and remember everything to not die by: trying to desinfect your water bottle and end up with chemical food poisening; trying to stitch your clothes and just sew nonexisting wounds that get infected; try to shortcut a ladder and die after a 2m falls (with stilts and morphine in the bag)...

Otherwise if you are one of the few people not owning this, just don't, turn around and save yourself the time and the money :)

Edit: Revisited the game as well as this review, well, it'd be a wonder if you don't know what to expect from this game by now with all of its popularity. It is a really good game after all the fixes it went through. Stable servers with more than enough people playing at all times, worst bugs are fixed, a really great decision to support first person only servers, good gun handling and an upcoming animation updates for easier traversal of cities - this game is a jackpot and executes the battle royal genre perfectly (no wonder with the inventor behind it)

Old Review: Pretty good game, would get a thumbs up normally, but in its corrent state the amount of bugs is not very beareable.
Will revisit Review once fixed but to reflect the current mood ill give it a thumbs down.
Can only play once in every 10 Startups after loading it gets me in a lobby+game and then will not disable the loading screen, presuming from the sounds you can walk, hit or even show the escape menu (you get the mouse back atleast) but you cannot see anything, still it counts you as ingame and will count the stats (basically afk'ing and a death) can't be that hard to disable a screen when its done loading (or the game starts atleast).

Revisited this game after nearly 1 year and only minor things changed, while nothing of the existing "game" got improved...
the idea is very good but execution lacks in every aspect. I got sicker than nearly most fast paced shooters and i can stomach quite some crazy vr games. This game is stuttering on a titanx (old model but still) the appearently laser scanned walls are open on so many places, other than the textures the game is nearly empty.
The gameplay itself is buggy most modes never noticed me finishend them with no way to end it. Movement options are only for the core and do not work as well as one would think.
For some reason they added a useless map/room with some music and ugly animated npcs when there was still so much to fix.

TL;DR; dont even think about buying for this price
