I could like this game, but it's just broken.
Devs just don't want me to play it. I have Oculus Quest 2 and I have following issues:
1) Airlink doesn't work with this game. But OK, I can deal with that.
2) Oculus Link via cable also doesn't work properly as the game is simply not showing in your headset. This particular issue was reported YEARS AGO but devs didn't bother to fix it. But OK, you can still launch via Steam desktop app (not via Steam VR which doesn't work).
3) But then I realize I cannot change display orientation. So, I cannot use the free space in my room, because enemies are showing up behind my back and I cannot turn myself by using Quest's display calibration or any thumbstick. The only way is to physically turn my body which leads to my cable getting in the way and I'm risking accidentaly smashing my PC screen.
4) The headset still randomly wents black and there's no other fix than restarting the game.
The result is that instead of having fun the game consistently annoys me and remains basically unplayable.

One of the better standing, wave-based shooters for VR. This one really reminds me of arcade shooters like Time Crisis, which is a good thing. A lot of weapons and unlocks, a nice variety of levels and locations, and decent graphics that won't blow you away but are still quite good. Not too much variety in modes, but the turret levels are very cool as you really feel like you're manning a large mounted gun.

This is a cover based wave shooter, and not a very good one imho. The gunplay is passable but not good, the enemies are weak and highly repetative and the whole thing is fun for about 5 minutes. Addtionally, though it works with the oculus controllers, the aim is a bit off (shoots unnaturally high). I got it on sale but going for a refund. It wasn't worth $13.

Not too sure about the overly glowing reviews. It is great in the sense that it reminds me a ton of Time Crysis and brings me back a bit. The problem is that they are simply charging to much for what is essentially a cell phone game port and they really need to polish it up a bit. Fix some of the glitchiness, make the aiming a bit tighter, put in some higer res textures for the love of god etc. I could see 7.99$ for a title like this. Had to refund it even though it was enjoyable.
It has the makings of a really fun experience it's just ashame they priced it as something that's it's not.
I'm going to put "recommend" as to not screw the game over since it's so early with few reviews, since I like the game, with the understanding that I do *not* recommend it at 20$.

The negative reviews of this game are overly harsh. It's pretty fun and well done.
This is an on-rails shooter semi reminiscent of Area 51 or other similar games. To be honest, I've been waiting for something exactly like this.
As another review mentioned - you'll want to get some kneepads.
3.5/5 stars

REVIEW EDIT-
GAME IS BROKEN DO NOT PURCHASE
UNFORTUNATELY another ABANDONED GAME.
Really has the bones to be a good game, would have been a favorite if not for the fact it crashes constantly, gives your HMD a black screen at random times, the devs show no desire to update or fix anything and haven't responded to anyone since like 2017-2018. so no, I DONT recommend this game as it's not even a playable game.
EDIT- developer was quick to respond via email the next day however they say they can't fix it...so honestly this game shouldn't even be in the store. I guess for some people it MIGHT work fine. Up to you if you want to take the gamble. I'm refunding this. I dont support broken games and lazy devs.

Premise:
A level-based shooter (not a wave shooter) with duck and cover mechanics, upgradeable weapons, leveling (new levels unlock new, more powerful weapons), realistic reloading and a bunch of weapons to choose from.
Pros:
Great graphics
Solid gameplay
Challenging level designs and the ability to choose harder or easier real-time in the levels
Best scope design I've seen in a VR game so far (not glitchy like most games)
Upgrades have impact on your weapons. You can definitely tell the difference between one type of barrel and the last, or even the next level of muzzle.
Cons:
Even though this is a room-scale game, your ability to walk around is limited to your cover available in the area you're in. Not taking cover means certain death.
Becomes somewhat repetitive if you want to unlock the highest levels of armor and weapons with all upgrades.
Static spawns and movement for enemies makes it a bit predictable for each level once you memorize them. The enemies, however do tend to go to various locations and/or shoot from cover, etc.
It may not matter to some folks, but these guys were only in Early Access for 5 months and made updates like clockwork based on feedback. That's how Early Access is supposed to work!
I look forward to the next series of levels for this game as well as weapon unlocks, etc.
Great game and lots of fun!

Really enjoyable, addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, it seems to have had planned content cut and then been released out of EA with a lot less than advertised.
The game was over before I knew it, and the huge map was barely covered.
Cached search result for oculus.com states: "more than fifty levels, giving you 40+ hours of deadly fun"
Actual site currently states: "5 areas to explore & 30 levels to fight the faction"
Steam store page states: "4 areas to explore & 22 levels to fight the faction"
I will revisit this game and modify the review when and if the game ever gets more levels.
Such a shame; at its core it's a great game - there's just not enough of it.

I don't know what game everyone else is reviewing, or if they're just new to VR and are more easily impressed. I can't honestly recommend this game for the price. It feels like a f2p mobile game, the guns feel and sound terrible. The game calls itself a cover shooter and yet the enemies fail to use cover and just stand/walk into your bullets. They repeat the same lines with the same voice over and over, they come from the same 2-3 places with the only variation being if they walk or run out into your bullets. If this game was released for anything other than the vive it would get hammered for how cheap it feels, it just isn't worth anywhere near $20, save your money, seriously.
