This title is a port of a 2024 action-adventure shooter, bringing its distinct combat experience to virtual reality. Players assume the role of Grayson Hunt, a mercenary navigating a hostile environment. The game's central focus is on creative and brutal combat, encouraging players to utilize their surroundings and a unique energy leash to dispatch enemies in inventive ways. This VR adaptation aims to immerse players in the original game's visceral action. It is available on Meta Quest 2, PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Meta Quest 3.

The Core Combat Experience

The primary gameplay loop revolves around creatively eliminating adversaries. Players are equipped with various firearms and an energy leash, a tool for manipulating enemies. This leash allows for setting up elaborate kills by combining it with environmental hazards, enemy behaviors, and precise shooting. The game incentivizes player ingenuity and flair, prompting experimentation with attack combinations and environmental interactions to achieve spectacular takedowns.

Story and Setting

Players are immersed in a visually distinct, hostile alien world. As Grayson Hunt, the player embarks on a mission that results in being stranded and facing significant opposition. The narrative progresses through exploration of diverse environments, from desolate areas to lush, dangerous terrains. The atmosphere blends gritty survival with dark humor, characterized by the protagonist's cynical perspective.

What Makes This Game Unique in VR?

The virtual reality implementation significantly enhances the game's core mechanics. The energy leash, in particular, offers a more tactile and intuitive interaction. Players can physically aim and pull enemies, positioning them for kicks, slides, and explosive environmental effects. The sense of scale and presence in VR amplifies the impact of combat actions, allowing players to feel more directly involved in the chaotic firefights.
