Decent VR & Desktop Rail Shooter
This game can be played both desktop and on VR. I've played it both ways and both have goods and bad points. To get the desktop version of this game working, you do have to use a different executable in the game folder. It can be found in GOG Galaxy as well but you have to go into the "Additional Executables" section. VR mode and desktop mode are both slightly different. There are sections in VR that are not on the desktop and vise-versa. However, the desktop version always feels limiting in many ways. There are tons of times drops like ammo, grenades, et cetera are not accessible. Even hostages in the game you free you can't always get or the time window to shoot them free from a container is so short it's near impossible. The only real perk of the desktop client is co-op mode which is only local co-op. The VR game is the best experience in my opinion. You can get all the ammo drops, hostages, and so on. The sad part though is no co-op period. It would have been nice to see a desktop user and VR user combo for the co-op. As for the game. Well it's not the most amazing game out there. Both desktop and VR, has no real pull to make you want to come back. There are only four main guns and random guns that are sequences in the mission. There isn't much flavor to go around and most of the time it feels you want to use the same gun. The pistol is nice, but against a lot of the vehicles and choppers it's garbage, the shotgun is useless most of the time, the Uzi can just be a bullet waster in most situations. I honestly found myself using the M16 almost all the time as the bullet spread is less, has the distance, and chews up vehicles and heavy enemies. In VR I used Pimax Sword, Vive Wands, and HTC Vive controllers just fine. Desktop I've tested keyboard and mouse and Xbox One controllers. All work fantastic in this game. I got this game on sale and anyone else purchasing this I would suggest the same. It's a fair game, but not a Game of the Year.
