I really wish there was not only a thumbs up and a thumbs down button. A "meh" button or a "Its rated to high or low, I want to bring it more towards the middle" button. This game was potential and is impressive for one dev alone, yet it has some game design mistakes.
It is incredibly linear for a game with features that would thrive in a more open world, yet the game blocks progression by introducing new mechanics that have never been introduced or the player being told that this is a possibility. 3 times this happens in this game. Or 2 times at once and one more time.
The game tasks a player to climb over things and shoot and destroy anomalies. Both have never been established to be possible. The last thing towards the end of the game is a terminal that the player can actually interact with, but only when the hand is at a right 180 degree angle.
Overall it has some things going for it, especially for a VR game, like gunplay, reloading, throwing things, climbing.
But so many things that are just not thought out. In this linear game, you have to maintain your weapon. Which sounds good, but it is just a chore in the gameplay and it boils down to spray-can your weapon until its full health. Also, for a VR game you can barely interact with the world. The thing VR is supposed to do.
So yeah, I'd give it a 6/10

A nice prequel to Zona Origin, you can really see the jump in quality between the two games; I left a positive review because I appreciate the developer, but the game is NOT worth 20 euros, if you find it heavily discounted and/or you want to support the author, then it's worth to buy it, but otherwise I'd suggest to go straight for Zona Origin because that one is absolutely worth every single cent.

ONLY BUY ON A SALE, I was happying paying $8 for it, not sure if I would be happy above that.
This game is janky and B-grade as heck. B-grade is probably being generous.
Voice acting sucks ass, I assume it is AI (but hey! at least it has some!). But the AI voice acting which has zero appropriate emotional inflection, combined with the incomprehensible dialogue will leave your head spinning at exactly what is even happening at any given moment in the plot.
Levels are tiny, AI kind of stupid, animations primative to the point of making you laugh.
BUT, I have had plenty of fun running around shooting stuff. Despite how utterly crap this game is, I am enjoying it, even bought the next one!

The campaign is super short but fun. I got this and Origin in a bundle and project x was only like £1.
I only recommend this game when it's on sale because $16 is too expensive, plus, when it goes on sale it's like £4.
And the fact that this was made by one guy is really cool.
Other than that, good game, Origin is much better though.

This is a fun game, I finished it in around 4 hours, but haven't seen EVERYthing, but I've seen the majority of it by the achievements I got.
It's not barebones as some people here state, it's pretty decent, specially if you get it on sale.
It's not perfect, but you will have fun playing it. I know I had.

One of the most memorable VR games out there. You can just feel the handcrafted levels and all the love that went into making this game. Totally recommend trying it. Especially later missions in game.

I was frustrated at first, but the game gets more fun the longer you play. Can be difficult when using the hunger system, but the game itself is well designed and fun to explore. One of the better VR experiences I've had lately other than a few hiccups. Feels similar to playing the original first person Stalker game, but in VR.
The developer responded to my original save game issue so it's nice to see they are paying attention and care. I wasn't actually outside of a playable area, but I found out that my save game was corrupted (showed a date of something like 12/31/9999) when I tried to load it. Apparently if you save quickly it can cause that issue.
It runs pretty well, but tends to hang up a little sometimes (stutter/loading). My setup is the following:
VR: Quest 3 with VR air bridge through Steam VR app
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5700X
GPU: AMD Radeon 7800XT
RAM: 32 GB
Storage: 1TB with more than 750 GB free
