“The atmosphere in this game is second to only HL: Alyx, but the latter doesn't have the capability to make you ♥♥♥♥ your pants as much as this one does.”

The verdict
A unique, tense STALKER-style VR survival horror with excellent atmosphere and hands-on gunplay and inventory. It's janky and poorly optimized, so skip it if you want polish or smooth performance.
Great for
VR players who love STALKER-style atmosphere, hardcore survival, looting and realistic gun handling
Main risk
Clunky controls, bugs and poor performance can break immersion and make it frustrating
