Yes, but know what you're getting into.
Firstly, its not something like Dead Space (Though clearly inspired by) where you kind of move from one cohesive area to the next area with Drop In/Out Coop that 3 had, it plays more like a Hub Mission game. You have a main base of operation decorated with your allies who each serve a purpose (Gun Shop, Armor Shop, Exposition Bot, etc) and each NPC has their own little personality and its all voice acted well enough, though sometimes I wish I could just mute the MC because I do not like the words coming out of my mouth.
From this main hub, you select a mission from the Ship Menu, with I think 6 Different Mission types (Biohazard, Survival, etc) and Difficulty tiers, or a Main Story Mission if you're progressing that. Its a Loot grinder type game as far as endgame goes, but also a horde shooter with some fun enemy types to battle.
Now there is some roughness with the area. Its one of those games where you'll notice repeated rooms (Hallways mostly) here and there if you're paying attention. Feels like it was made by a small studio, but one that wanted to make a good game with the resources they had. You can see the corners cut but they did such a good job they're easily forgivable.
Theres multiple difficulty options and I found them quite fun, but I will say its mostly just "mindless zombie killing" where large swathes of enemies you kill are slow walking zombies, but with a few curve balls thrown in to keep stuff fresh(Some bosses have big guns, some throw grenades, you have soldier enemies who run and gun, stuff like that).
As far as progression goes, you level up, get new gear with new stats/bonuses on them, and you unlock new abilities ranging from Movement speed increases/stamina reductions, telekinesis, healing speed upgrades, etc. Theres a lot there but I didn't read them all, but its enough to definitely give you options and upgrades for a long time.
There are a lot of weapons that I found, from Shuriken, Pistol, Bows, Laser guns, AR's, shotguns, etc. A lot of classic weapon types, mostly ballistic, but I believe there were a few Sci-Fi options especially with the DLC characters and such. Weapons all have stats, Damage, Accuracy, Chip Upgrade Slots for unique effects to augment your weapons, as such, enemies also have Levels and HP pools to match, though aside from some "Big bosses", I didnt run into any "HP Sponge" Issues, all felt killable enough and Headshots give a big modifier so most Zombies would still explode to a headshot or two.
There is the downside others have mentioned in that the Story kind of ends halfway through and you have to buy DLC to finish it? So keep that in mind when you make your purchase.
Anyway, to make a long story short. Its a lot of kind of mindless fun, Arena Shooter-Ish Co-Op Missions, with a few different PVE game modes you can chose as "Missions" To level up, find new gear/upgrades/weapons, and theres also a more linear story mode you can do with friends (It unlocks when you unlock the main Mission menu after you beat Story Mission 2 for those wondering).
Its not something that blew my mind, but it was definitely a fun shooter experience I'll probably find myself coming back too from time to time, as there was a lot of satisfaction in the weapons and hit effects, which is all I ask for most of the time in a VR game... to just feel good shooting.
