The Setup
A cooperative VR zombie shooter for up to four players, set in an alternate frozen-over 1980s Los Angeles — structurally it’s Left 4 Dead with a VR headset strapped on. The Complete Edition bundles the base game with everything released for it since launch.
The Review
The gunplay is satisfying, elevated by PSVR2’s resolution and haptics, and the manual reload mechanic is a great tactile touch that rewards skill with bonus headshot damage once you get the hang of it. The loot/progression system keeps me replaying missions. The wrist-inventory storage is tiny though, and I’ve lost more than one item mid-mission because of it.
What I Liked
- Satisfying gunplay elevated by PSVR2’s haptics
- Manual reload mechanic is tactile and rewarding
- Rewarding loot/progression system
- Genuinely fun in co-op
What I Didn’t
- Not enough map/mode variety long-term
- Tiny wrist inventory is a constant hassle
- AI bot companions are unreliable without a full squad
The Verdict
Rating: 4/5
