The game is a blast, total improvement on the original in every way... with one exception. The story.

I was holding off on that until all the planned DLC was released, and now that it is, it's time to be clear here. BEWARE: VAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD.








This game's story is unfinished, to the point that if I didn't know any better and didn't specifically wait until they had a chance to fix it, I'd assume they just ran out of time on it. But no, it's just... intentionally unfinished.
The gameplay is solid, but the story is minimal and just barely serves as enough to get between the worlds and string together the randomized level design. And then the ending... just happens. With no explanation, the game just kinda ends, giving no conclusion to a single plot thread from this game, let alone some of the ones left hanging from the first.

I want to like this game. I really do. And if it were going on just gameplay alone, this would be a slam dunk. But if you actually invested in the story of these games, you're going to be let down because the developers clearly just don't consider the story a priority. Instead, we have an incredibly competent third person shooter, with a ton of build depth and all the Gun Souls you could want. But there's virtually no reason to play this game outside of the gameplay. It's clear where Gunfire's priorities are, and it's a damn shame that having any kind of cohesive narrative or worldbuilding isn't one of them.

But on the other hand, you can be a gun wizard with an exploding frisbee cannon and a cuddly attack dog that heals you. So perhaps, it's still worth it.

You know a company is good when a cosmetic DLC gets a consistent Overwhelmingly Positive review. Bravo Ghost Ship for showing people how to make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game correctly. Just make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun game with no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and what do you know, people will respect you and shower you with money.

HEY GAME INDUSTRY.
HEY.
DO THIS.
DO MORE OF THIS.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO THINGS.
DO YOU GET IT YET?!

I recommend this game only because of mods, but at this point that's basically Bethesda Game Rule #1 - Skyrim is the last mainline product they put out that even remotely holds up without mods. And without mods, this game is just a boring and buggy port of vanilla skyrim, but that's still better than the unplayable mess that is Fallout 4 VR.

But with the right mods - namely VRIK, HIGGS, PLANCK, and some basic graphics upgrades - this honestly becomes one of the best VR experiences out there. The modding community is amazing for Skyrim, and a lot of the SE mods are still compatible out of the box in VR, or have patches.

As old as this game is, there's still something special and wondrous about wandering around a Falmer cave or a Dwemer ruin in VR. Skyrim itself is still a magnificent relic, and seeing it up close and personal is a genuinely immersive experience. Give it a shot, it's worth the stress of getting the mods to work, I promise.

This game had a rocky start, and for a long time it's been a solid "good but not great". As of the 2.0 update though, 2077 finally feels like the game it was supposed to be, and worth it even at full price. It was a long road but it's good to see it finally get there.

Literally the best VR game ever made.

Solid shooter, fun characters, good atmosphere, great combat. There's the occasional bugs, but nothing serious I've seen besides an occasional funny T-pose or an enemy AI freezing.

I don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ happened to this game on launch, but it's fun for me so far. I got it on sale, and I do agree with some of the reviews, this game feels a little bit out of date, but... Dead Island was a AAA game on launch too. 70 is overpriced for any game currently on the market, but this game would be a solid 30-40 easily.

Give it a shot, and if you go solo, be careful, this isn't a Borderlands type guns blazing deal unless you bring friends.

There's a review down there that calls this game "a big cup of mediocrity". I honestly couldn't put it better myself. I like Bethesda games, and so I like this game. It's a fun game and great to just sink into and kill time. But it's very much a game as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. There's a handful of really fun sidequests scattered throughout a truly massive galaxy, the core shooting gameplay is fun, with a variety of very stupid guns to enjoy (protip: shotguns are by far the best weapon type to invest in), and the highlight of them all is by far the shipbuilding. I easily can chalk up half of my playtime just to the relaxing fun of shipbuilding.

However, this marks the first Bethesda game I didn't get through a full playthrough of before I started getting into modding to spice things up.

This game is honestly dull and repetitive, and while there's a few really, REALLY well done quests, maybe 20% of them, the other 80% are just filler, and a lot of that filler is in the main quest.

If you like the Bethesda Game Formula, you'll like Starfield. Because this is, in every respect, the most Bethesda game I've ever seen, for better or worse. Without a more interesting IP to rely on like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, it's clear that Bethesda just isn't creative enough to build an interesting and vibrant world that stands out. This game is, in every respect, everything No Man's Sky wished it could be.

But if you already didn't like other modern Bethesda games, this won't change your mind. This game is a perfect example of game design complacency. It gives you everything you came to expect from a Bethesda game and absolutely nothing more.

Great game! Amazing atmosphere, looking forwards to seeing how the game develops from here.

I like the game in concept. It takes some getting used to but once you figure it out its pretty fluid to keep moving and jumping. Very fun in the short term.

But the singleplayer content they had planned for launch is not there at all, and from the looks of it they have dropped the plans to include any singleplayer story content. So what you have here is a fun VR parkour sandbox with a bare bones multiplayer mode and a few singleplayer modes which functionally have no replay value. The timerun and endless modes are pretty much the same after a few runs, and the arena mode only has about 3-4 quest objectives, one of which (hacking) is just really obnoxious to do.

I give this game a tenative review, but look at my playtime. In just over half an hour I've experienced the entirety of this game's actual content. Keep that in mind because this game still feels like it should be in early access with this little actual game here.

The closest the world will ever get to a perfect trilogy. This series is the pinnacle of story and game harmony and I've yet to see it topped.
