I have 10x the hours but launching directly from oculus PC app doesn't count them on steam.

Obligatory stalker/metro reference, if you get on with those take it from a friend this is an absolute must. The game is made for people like you.
Otherwise, this is one of the few VR games with soul. They've built a surreal world that you'll just stop and stare at while trekking through the woods on an overcast day. Finding a shack or hideout where you can sit for a smoke while you dump out boxes of ammo to reload magazines is a simple joy that captures the spirit of any zone. There's plenty of mechanics, from using all your gear and chest rig, to cleaning your weapons (or clearing jams if you're some kind of anarchist with a dirty ass gun) and manually organizing hub while out of the zone. The sleep and hunger systems are something to be mindful of but aren't overbearing at all.

This isn't a scary game, but even when it's all calm, the atmosphere is tense. Exploring factories and houses will constantly have your guard up or things go sideways fast. Everyone's cool until ♥♥♥♥ goes cheeki breeki and you're trying to work under fire. Or knowing the fog tide is about to roll in, you're almost out of supplies, do you rush on to finish the job or head back? It makes for memorable trips and genuine relief when you first get back from the zone. Few games give that sense of accomplishment.

Weapon handling is spot on since they've added their ADS smoothing. Each gun feels different. The game rewards accuracy, you'll need a sight. Even mag changes are well thought out.

Anyway, I wrote this review because the devs deserve it for their clear vision and execution and hard work. They've even rebuilt the entire map from 1.0 to 2.0 to make this what it is.

If I could only have two VR games, this would be one of them.

When I first loaded into a match it looked so bland I went to settings and made sure they weren't on low. All settings were ultra and I immediately realized what was ahead. Their PR team is much better than their directors.

It boils down to a few different player models running around the map. Your team or the enemy. Just the same people. What class or skill do they have? Who ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knows, they're not dropping supplies anyway.

So much detail went into previous titles to delineate not only the teams but an instant recognition of classes that made sense. You never wondered, it was organically apparent. That's true design, this is laziness.

The menus gave me cancer. Some ritual of left click then right click then maybe left or right but don't click the wrong one because it will send you back to the beginning. The on-screen legend makes as much sense as me reviewing this game a month after I refunded it just because it's so bad.

The maps are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Sure, they're bigger but just stretching out the landscape without filling it in is like putting lipstick on a pig.

The sound is embarrassing.

As a die hard Bad Company 2 fan the best part was their portal to play old titles on the new engine. It has slivers of two maps. Just play the old titles in full at that rate.

Early Access Review
It's so satisfying taking your time scoping out a job, planning your route, spray painting your notes, rehearsing every step before tripping the alarm and madness begins.

The game has it's own identity. Unique style, some humor, and good music. Decent difficulty if you try to hit all the objectives in one run. It's 80% relaxing and sledge hammering walls, then injects whatever action you have planned to finish the job. Also, sandbox mode for maximum chill and exploring. Oh, and secrets all over the place.

This was all before 2nd installment of the campaign was finished so it's surely only gotten better.

I rescued Red, a naked 93 year old wild man who was fist fighting animals, we taught him to speak and rehabilitated him. The game notified me of his 94th birthday and that due to his age check, his present was dimentia. These days he aimlessly wanders the walk-in freezer.

Bob constantly makes fun of Ducky's voice and pubic hair but cant understand why she doesnt love him back so my colony also has an incel.

Gavin cannibalizes corpses by the creek while everyone is asleep.

I dont give a damn how high Clarks passion is for cooking, he gives everyone food poisoning and is banned from the stove.

Red killed Bob's pet, Bob now hates him and is always talking ♥♥♥♥ to a senile old man.

The game is rich with content and mechanics, mostly limited by your imagination. Worth every penny.

The game will never be optimized because of the engine it's on.
It controls more like original Tomb Raider on Playstation 1 than a 2017 game, which won't be fixed

Why is it filled with hackers? Because they're greedy with microtransactions and banking on reselling copies to banned users (1,000,000 / month). If they removed it from the game there would be a fraction of hackers. Battleye Anticheat tweeted the problem is getting worst and 80% are from China.

They basically said everyone wanting to region lock China is racist, in reality they profit from letting it happen.

Tl,dr Game sucks, company sucks, wait for someone to do it right.
