Thirst VR Reviews

pros -very arcade-ish style, fast and fun -cover is awesome and immersive, as are the environments -not sure why everyone else has that bad of performance, gtx970/i7 3770 and it has occasional judder, but nothing I hardly even notice -game is super cheap for what you get, even now in EA cons -need more enemy types -need more guns -need to modify grenade (without taking away the distance you can throw them) and possibly gun manipulation mechanics (when other weapons are added to select) recommendation: buy it now if you like arcade shooters

A very fun shooter and time passer, however I feel like the controls could use a slight bit of work, I say this because when clicking on the touch pad to switch guns, it doesn't matter which way you click, it always goes in the order AR, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher. I think maybe that could be changed so the weapon is based on which way you click. I also feel like maybe the UI could use a touch up, to make it easier to spot enemies that may have flipped over and are still but are still shooting at you (Also maybe making the bullet trails more visible would be a nice touch) However, all around it is fun and worth the $1.50 I paid for it.

i was like eh at first and then i blew up a car in front of the train and it started doing backflips over my head like something out of mad max 10/10 that was probably my coolest vr experience

Excellent game for the price. I had great fun manoeuvring myself on a moving train shooting enemies down with the various weapons. I was craving some voice acting being a fan of the GTA series. Surprisingly I had no nausea or dizziness playing this title. Looking forward to seeing the refinements the future brings. A multiplayer co-op option would make this the best. Buy this while it's still cheap :)

Just...awful. I really don't know where to begin. The physics applied to the vehicles make no sense. The game is ugly, everything washed out in red/brown. Textures are low-res. Assets are obviously pulled from from a public source, or might even be royalty-free. Shooting mechanics are boring. 3 weapons is not enough variety to make the monotonous gameplay interesting. No Index controller support yet. It's a functional VR game rail-shooter. All you do is stand in place and shoot stuff that comes at you, and your score is tabulated at the end of it. I bought this thing in 2017 for $0.74 and forgot about it. If I could return it and get back my 3 quarters, I would.

This is probably the most fun I've had with the Oculus Rift. Next to Blaze Rush, this is one of the best examples of a simple aspect game. It's probably my favourite shooter... not because the graphics are over the top, though I'd definitely say they are good. But this is a game that gets your adrenaline going. A little practice will amaze your friends the first time out. It will only last for 5 minutes at a time, but you will want to play over and over again. If you can manage to start hitting early, the spawn mechanism will have you under intense fire quickly. The only real drawback that I can see is the inability for me to switch hands, which being the southpaw, I want to do. Still, one of my all time VR faves.

WARNING TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT BUYING THIS GAME The store page says it's early access, even though the devs have said that they don't update the game anymore. The game is also very buggy. Here are some glitches I encountered: - Powerups spawn inside of walls - Cars and helicopters spawn inside of walls - Rockets don't get destroyed when you shoot them - You start randomly taking damage for no reason - Shield doesn't work half the time - Unable to switch weapons after a while - Gun just stops working, even after i reload it - Can't pick up the gun that starts the game, so you can't even play it - Train moves without me These glitches make the game almost unplayable and unenjoyable. The game also just gets boring and repetitive after a while (when it works).

Hey, it's another abandoned early access VR game. Pretty basic and terrible. Enemy cars pop out of existence randomly, spawn in the air, get stuck on objects.

For the price? Hell, yeah I recommend this game. This is a great game to relieve some stress. Just blow shit up. Easy reloads, no need to move around. Just find targets and shoot. See a helicopter? Switch to RPG and blow it up. See a line of vehicles right behind you, toss a grenade. You can even use a shield if you want to be strategic or crap. VR Arcade gaming at home at its finest. Come get some. Rate 7/10

I wasn't sure what to expect from Thirst tbh, but after seeing the screenshots and the 2.99 price tag i figured what the hell. Ding ding ding! Winner! Game is intense and visceral. Within seconds of loading it up I was hitting the deck and blasting choppers and dune buggies to hell. Sound effects are gritty and loud and add to the excitement. Also, the dune buggies chasing the train fly over hills and ramps allowing for some pretty sweet mid-air machine gun kills. My one complaint so far is the grenade grab/throw mechanic is buggy. Overall great game for the price and definitely added to the top of the roster for my next VR party.
