Winter Fury: The Longest Road Reviews

Reasonably fun, but short and not really good value for money. Really just a wave shooter. Price should be around £5 I should think.

One of the most underrated games I've played. It really has something for everyone. The wave shooter is fast and fun and the tank commander really envelopes you into the tank. With the focus of VR being on Half-Life Alyx, this game is the perfect for something new and enjoyable. Definitely worth the money!

N.B. This is a first impressions review on the current state of the early access build. Will try and update this review as things progress, as the devs say that there are still a bunch more tweaks and improvements coming. Gameplay, Immersion & VR Experience: First thoughts were that it took me right back to the old days playing Time Crisis on the PS1, though a bit more forgiving (which is a good thing!), and with a heap of extra fun new layers of gameplay with different weapons, different vehicles and an interesting mix of different mission styles I found myself having a lot of fun, enjoying the challenge of tracking down the enemy in a 3d play space (they come at you from all angles), ducking, reloading and refining my aim to get a better shot ratio and head shot tally. A great mix of skill required to shoot accurately, but forgiving enough that you can have a fun arcade shooter. A fun game that you can lose yourself in and blow the work week away on a Friday night without the stress of some of the other more serious shooters. FYI, if you opt for the standing experience and not the seated, then you’re going to want to have two tracking devices to help track you as you turn around to get enemies behind you. So if you’re using Vive, you’re fine, if you’re using Oculus then you’ll want to have the second tracker. Music: Fantastic. Very epic and cinematic. The audio throughout is of a really high quality as well. This is perhaps my highlight of the whole game. Are there VR title music awards? If so, this should get it. Menus: Easy to navigate, and have some really nice touches with 3d depth and animation that make you appreciate that you’re doing this in VR. Tutorial: Really good. Teaches the controls really naturally and smoothly. And showed me really early on that I’d better get that second tracker set up. Some feedback here is that while the tutorials are effective, I’d like more time learning each weapon to get more comfortable with them. Maybe a selection to continue when ready as opposed to auto skipping once you’ve hit the targets? Summary: I’d highly recommend this game to anyone that finds themselves drawn to arcade shooting games like Time Crisis, Virtua Cop or Deer Hunter etc. If you like games like these, then you’re going to really enjoy this game.

Very nice arcadey onrails / waveshooter with a WW2 theme. Sound is pretty good, weapons sound good music is great and allaround decent enough. Graphics are not that impressive, but they work fine, i LOVED that you can take down the trees with weapon fire. Performance with a 1080, easy 90, almost always 120fps was ok. You can choose between 2 different mission paths, so like 2 campaigns, one is always onboard of a tank where you can switch between the main weapon with a machine gun view from inside the tank, or go man the external turret. The other path you also are on board of a tank in sections of it, but its more like you are running from cover to cover eliminating threats. It takes ~2-2.5hrs to finish both campaignsm, havent the tank one, already finished the regular one. You get to fire machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, snipers (i didnt like the mechanics of this) And while at parts the controls dont feel all that intuitive, you get the hang of them pretty quickly. Overall the game is clunky and a bit rough at some parts, but overall it works, and is fun for the most part, BUT it is rough around some edges, some mechanics are a bit weird and awkward to use, AI is basic with a few different enemies, but its easy to pickup. The game is fun and arcadey, doesnt take itself too seriously, levels arent super challenging, but do require a bit of effort. Recommend when on sale, for anyone that want to try a decent but a bit clunky wave shooter.

one of the most uninteresting tank combat games i have ever played, to the point that i disliked every second i was in the tank and rather be on the back or the ground than be in that tin can. and the "cinematic's" killed all in vestment in what ever im doing. also the directions were vague and unclear.

On rails shooter / wave shooter Go in tank, bunkers, machine guns. Not the most robust game but is ok if looking for a WW2 shooter Consider on sale

Just tried out the sniper rifle on 2nd level. Very cool mechanic. I would like a mission like the movie "Enemy At The Gates" where you would need to take out an elite German sniper using only your sniper rifle. Wide variety of historical weapons to try out. I found myself doing a lot of the dirty work with my Thompson? machine gun. If you are one of those people with a strong dislike of Nazis this game should be a good fit. Recommend.

I normally dont like arcade shooters, but this game is awesome! Except the sniper rifle. Why the hell does the sniper scope work like in Fallout 4, when you have a working scope system on the 3D model itself? I tried to hold the rifle away enough to be able to snipe with the rifles 3D model scope and I just couldnt shoot anything because the scope was way too far from my face. Please, PLEASE make it at least a setting to allow people to disable the horrible Fallout 4 scope!

Okay so I am a MASSIVE WW2 shill and even I can't get into the game in its current state. This just feels unpolished and strange, I couldn't get used to the controls and generally couldn't get immersed. The concept sounds good and its a new game so I cut it some slack, I hope with more development that this becomes one of the best games on the steam VR market.

There weren't any reviews or YouTube content so I figured I'd take a chance, despite swearing I'd never buy another Early Access title again. I'm actually really surprised. It's a wave shooter but pretty fun and easy to get into. I could see it being a hit for showing off VR to friends, although I've had my Vive since pre-order and I found it fun, as well. Time went by fairly quickly while playing which means I was having fun. Graphics are average - nothing groundbreaking but not terrible, either. Sounds are stock and mediocre, although I guess I don't really expect the developer to rent out a bunch of WW2 guns and buy thousands of dollars in sound equipment, either. Gameplay is good - it started to feel somewhat repetitive for about a minute at the end of the first mission but it wasn't a deal breaker. I haven't ran across any bugs yet and you can tell that the developer put a lot of time into the game. Overall, I'm impressed and think it's worth a go. I'm very pleased to finally have a new VR game that I don't need to refund. Looking forward to improvements and more content.
