Pros: Great looking and well optimised graphics, great sound design, classic Half Life interactive physics, guns look and feel good (even tho combine takes on human firearms are wierd :D) and I like the characters introduced.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

As a VR horror it also excels in it's combat and atmosphere, it doesn't throw ammo and syringes at you every second, it's very balanced in a way that is also suspenseful.

Very good voice acting, incredible surround tension-building music, thriller-like technics to keep you on your toes.
