What players say
It's like a childhood fantasy come true. You feel like you did as a kid playing Operation Wolf. It's crashed a couple of times, but seeing as it's short levels, it's not a deal breaker. I recommend this highly, I think most people will love it. EDIT: I now have 3 stars in every level. The crashing seems lots less frequent since todays patch. Can't wait for more content. This really is one of my favourite VR games...

VR today is fun, but it seems as if the development teams are pretty much focused on certain genres of gaming. You have the first person shooter types - Half-Life, Boneworks, Pavlov, etc. Then you have your 'experiences' which aren't really games but rather immersive movies where you might have to point at some things or solve puzzles. Then of course you have your beat based games such as Beat Saber and Audica...
Such an excellent concept. Take an old arcade favorite like operation wolf or it's many other games just like it from the old arcade days and adapt it to VR. Once again just like Midway they did not deliver. Not even close. This game is terrible. Broken achievements. Broken game play. Terrible design choices. The hostages are like a terrible joke on players. The same few concepts repeated over and over in 6 levels...
