It's pretty great. Think CounterStrike in VR with a ton of great (and not-so-great) mods.

If you enjoy counter-strike, it's fucking amazing. Like seriously some of the best gaming moments I've ever had in my lifetime.
With that said, I really wish the dev(s) would focus on the seek and destroy gameplay (counter-strike) and ignore a lot of the other game modes that I feel don't add much value to the game.-

It's got a high learning curve and a high skill ceiling, so don't get frustrated when you get owned for the first week or two. You would think your CS skill will translate to real life VR aiming but it doesn't lol. Map orientation does though.

I've played with this guy a bunch back in the day, pretty sure I'm in the kill feed here. Similar to CS you'll want to get used to recoil and slowly aiming the barrel downwards when aiming. Fuck now I'm wanting to hop in.

Is there going to be any Gamepass-like service for all these VR games? Sure would make investing in the limited-use VR hardware a lot more palletable.

I'm debating whether to rebuy Demeo for a third platform lol

Before Your Eyes is an incredible narrative experience, and is something that will totally work for the style of gameplay, but it seems like a bad idea to port that game to VR imho; all the tears are gonna end up smudging people's lenses.

style of gameplay tech in the headset
This is why I need to proofread.

A new Astrobot would be great, but what I really want is support for Dreams. I understand that it wouldn't be practical to port over existing experiences, but it would be a shame to have such a powerful, VR-ready creative tool already on the platform and not take advantage of it.

I grabbed RE:8 to get my horror fix, Horizon with the bundle, and have No Man's Sky and Gran Turismo to give me some open-ended gameplay to hold me over while I wait for more titles to release. I'd grab Zenith to have an MMO to play, but I'm really not a fan of the art style.

I'll probably end up grabbing Pavlov again just because of the improved haptics. I'll be kind of sad to not have my gun stock, though.
