Funny, combat machanics are nice. Graphics are cartoonish, but ok.

This simply is not a good game. Gameplay feels extremely shallow and simple. Figting is just bad. Maybe this would have worked better in 2016 among the first VR games, but certainly not today.
Devs have added nice lighting and better textures, but the game still looks totally Questified. This is a Quest port, everything is made for a gpu using 1 tflop (=Adreno 650 phone gpu in the Quest 2), and it really shows. Some models aren't even 3D, but 2D, like some spear-spiked pirates. Models and environments, even with occasionally some nice 3D grass, are extremely low-poly. Looks and plays like a 20 year old PC game at best.
Also even adding nice lighting, the game is severely unoptimized, using an oc'ed RTX 3090 with 24GB vram (same speed as 4070 Ti), my Index res 200% gets reprojections in just 80 Hz, but mostly the game is smooth with that res. Being a Quest port, there are no graphics settings, one size fits all.
Even for 5 bucks and 70% off I cannot recommend this game, because I'm not going to play it, the game is too boring and simple - and feels like a waste of my time. If fact, I think such lackluster and extremely mediocre games are hurting VR a lot - if Crimen is your first VR game, will you be impressed? Will a game like Crimen make you love VR? Or will it add to being convinced of VR being utter garbage and not worth your time?
My rating is 3/10, even for 5 bucks I'd like to get my 9GB of SSD space back and use it for something better, sadly.
