ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : M∀RS / アヌビス ゾーン・オブ・エンダーズ : マーズ Reviews

Super duper glitchy, almost unplayably so. "Out of the box" the game does not automatically start in a proper windowed mode or full screen, so you have to figure that out, and theres horrible static pop sound issues, and super quiet volume issues once you fix it. The fixes are all known and available on the internet, but theres a caveat to the audio fix. It requires going into your friggn sound settings and selecting a specific sample rate, which locks you out of using the heaping bulk of bluetooth headphones and earbuds. Its a mess. ZOE 2 is a great game, but this port just doesnt work without a LOT of fiddling. Not really worth it.

Highly recommend undub mod. I've wanted to play this game with the original audio for years and its a dream come true. Widescreen is a bonus.

Played this game mainly for the combat and soundtrack but ended up being surprised by how good the story is in its own way. Knowing that Hideo Kojima produced it really stood out while playing it was an amazing experience overall. A solid 9/10.

This is a case of a game that's actually good getting a really half-assed port. I spent way too much time figuring out how to even get the baseline game to function properly. What you have to do is: -make sure the game is on the main drive (You can't progress past the first scene if not) -Turn off vsync on the in-game settings and go to nvidia control panel and turn it on through there (game speed is tied to framerate and it'll be too fast on default settings) Not to mention there's other issues like the lack of the JP dub, but more egregious: the L3 and R3 functions just don't work at all, and this is consistent with most players. This locks out an entire combat mechanic in an ACTION game, but worst of all is that the devs have confirmed that they aren't ever going to patch a fix for this. I'm way too late to get a refund so I'll just make do but if you hate tinkering don't bother buying at all.

This game is so fun in VR! Only one problem, the main bad guy needs a nerf BAD! All he does is teleport away and throw massive explosives you can barely dodge. I was having so much fun until then; that fight is so bad and irritating. Other than that, solid 9/10!
