I do wish this was in VR, as it has an immersive story line, and stealth tactics, which would be fun to sneak around in VR.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 294 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay, as in many games, is not perfect, but it feels just right.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The Occupation has a lot going for it, with some charming visuals and a dope soundtrack to match.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 294 sampled reviews raised it
I thought the voice acting was actually great, and I actually have no idea why there are a few people saying it's bad (I can see why some people might think it's just a touch overdone at times, but it's by no means bland or unrealistic, and nowhere near incompetent).
