What players think
The recurring themes across 268 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The concept works so well for VR as, unlike some other multiplayer VR games, you don't need two headsets.
Adding more watchers and upping the recharge time for the Overseer, gave both sides an interesting challenge, and the gameplay in general was immersive and intense.
So for starters, beautiful game, great graphics and post-processing, feels really good to shoot enemies, which is hard to get in games.

Fantastic game, love the visuals and split screen (vr vs. pc) gameplay.
Panoptic is basically the ultimate game of hide-and-seek where one person puts on the VR headset and becomes the Overseer (basically the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings) and the other person uses a controller (or mouse/keyboard) to play as the Challenger in a traditional first-person view on the screen.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
