Gameplay

A little hard to learn at first, but it quickly becomes a great time-waster with smooth controls and satisfying gameplay.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I am recommending this as the game has amazing combat and great weapon handling.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The low-poly colorful graphics look great, but I can see it being a little jarring for people who aren't used to VR or have motion sickness.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And in the end the weapon reloading difficulty lives in the perfect sweet spot of Fun VR Interaction without being convoluted.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere soundtrack is not really main key to the game but still is lovely and gives off that retro-style perspective with how it was composed, giving off an even better indication which map you currently are at.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The huge benefit here is that the performance is flawless; no frame drops or stuttering anywhere (for me, anyway).
