The verdict
A brilliant bullet-time VR shooter that makes you feel like Neo, but short, room-scale only, and its story was cut after release. Skip it if you have a small play space or care about the original story.
Great for
VR owners, newcomers to VR, and anyone wanting a physical Matrix-style action workout with a big play space
Main risk
Very short (1–3 hours) and needs a large room, with no stick movement, at full price
What changed in the last 30 days
54 recent reviews
Many recent negative reviews cite the removed story scenes, and several others report Steam Frame play-space problems. Fairly confident the drop is driven mainly by the story-cut anger.

What players love
Feels like being Neo in bullet time
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
“Physically ducking under bullets, sidestepping a punch, grabbing a gun out of the air and redirecting it at another enemy in one fluid motion, none of that translates through a screen.”
