Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR Reviews

Just, yeah naaaa. Don't bother. not even on sale.. Buy that coffee instead...

i wanted to enjoy this game but it is just janky as all hell. Cant recommend right now.

No Oculus Support. Devs do not respond to discussions. Looked like a fun game, but it's been abandoned already.

the combat needs some reworking feels like im swinging a hot dog , the hits never register , and for some reason its like impossible to pick things up , whenever i try to pull out a melee weapon it comes out backwards...i will rebuy after some major updates :(

I truly love this game dont listen to the bad press, is how I'll start this, however I do have to say the game is fresh out and does have its bugs, there are a few and they become known very quickly. But i say this is a good thing because it means you can learn them and move around them very quickly. Most of the bugs it has are completely avoidable whilst playing. To say dont buy this game or its terrible or whatever is too harsh, I find this game worth the amount it came out for, I also find it good fun, a little scary, tense and long enough to keep me entertained for hrs. I've paid far more for the privilege of less!. Ok the bad points I know of are a couple of the many guns are a pain to use, so for now dont use them. One or two bits here and there are a little glitchy while playing, like the head movement and stick movement both change your direction, its a bit weird and the option to have one or the other would be great but its very much playable... once you get your head around it. ( I just try to keep my head movement limited while im running around in a fight.) thats pretty much it you can easily play this game with these problems in place! All that being said it really is a good game at its core and with aditional content itll be a very good game. ive spoken to the developers too about all the bits ive found with the game good and bad, and they have been great they actively working on everything, improvements, bugs, content, everything. So it gets a thumbs up from me. Immersive large maps. Guns of fun. Great atmosphere. Zombies a plenty (thought slow at the start your soon thankful they were). More stuff to come including online options. Great active devs. I think buying it now and supporting their work when it comes to buried alive its worth it.

[h1] 2/10. Had high hopes, but it is a Disappointment in VR [/h1] Ok, so I have added this game to WL a very long time ago and expected to see a much better product. This is actually very sad… Pros: + Points are earned to buy weapons + Weapons have durability + Creepy Cons: - A very poor optimization on high settings - Game is very dark and it is hard to see anything at all - Zombies are buggy, models are poor and hit from distance - Entrance to second house on a second map is blocked by something on a floor - Shooting sound is bad - Only 2 maps, no story etc. [h1] Summary [/h1] The game is being developed by two persons. Ok - but we have real examples when nice VR games are made by small team or even single person. So having a small team is not an excuse for a poor game. You know what I see? All these games being made by even well sponsored companies recently are really weak (Medal of Honor, Walking Dead Onslaught etc.), and games like HL Alyx created such a high competition that titles like Buried Alive cannot be treated seriously though cost a half of Alyx price. If you want a good wave based zombie game – try Propagation VR – which is free.

There is great potential in here. Graphics are great, it has full body rather than just floating hands and in sale its dirty cheap. Don't miss it.

My personal recomendation: avoid at any costs. Sorry devs, but you are trying to trick by positioning the game as not what it really is. I would recommend to skip this one, and if you are looking for something similar, go get Saints&Sinners or Arizona Sunshine. I doubt we'll have a chance to see something better in the upcoming years.

Game has allot of potential. As previous review stated the game did not fair well the first month it came out. It is working now. If you like Cod Zombies, the is basically it. Game is much better than a negative review. I think if most people went back and tried it first now, they would have a different opinion of it. Would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

TLDR: Janky COD Zombies clone with melee combat. You earn points, buy weapons, open doors to new sections of the map. This game has potential, but I do not think it was ready for release, even as an early access title. Cons: In 38 minutes of playing I encountered plenty of bugs. So much so that I have to question whether this game has received any play testing at all. - The worst was the one where I couldn't pick up any weapons (so I just lost). - There was also a piece of geometry that stops you from getting into a room on the swamp map. - Translations are terrible, so it's very hard to figure out the tutorial, e.g. there are a few tutorial cards that simply say "use the button" without specifying what button to use. - The guns sound weak, and the animations make you feel like you're firing BB guns. - The player's hands are way too big and the LOD seems to mess up on them a lot, causing my fingers to occasionally become polygonal spikes when viewed at certain angles. - The grabbing and holstering doesn't seem very responsive most of the time. Often I had to repeatedly try to grab things or holster things. Pros: - zombie models are good, with some decent-enough looking dismemberment (headshots felt fairly satisfying) - ragdoll phsyics are good If you want Nazi Zombies in VR just get Pavlov, but this game definitely has the potential to be worth the asking price. It just isn't at the moment.
