Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was a relief for me to find out that you are not made to rush through story, if you wish you can just farm and craft for however long you want.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I usually dislike collectibles in games, but I had fun collecting and discovering all the angel statues, crafting recipes, easter egg items, and collecting fun items to bring back and decorate my van.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has one of the better combat systems I’ve encountered in VR and the controls (usually) did not feel janky whether I was climbing up a ladder, using weapons, throwing grenades, or grabbing a zombie’s head to better stab their noggin.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are also phenomenal and, while the characters look like something from a beta version of the Telltale's Walking Dead series, the entire game looks amazing.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are pretty good, and the game is well optimized.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sense of vulnerability and danger is heightened by the sound design, where every groan or shuffle of a walker nearby puts players on edge.
