This game was quite a lot longer than I thought it would be and it actually surprised me since this isn't just a beautiful VR game, it is also quite complex in its mechanics.

Pros: Great looking and well optimised graphics, great sound design, classic Half Life interactive physics, guns look and feel good (even tho combine takes on human firearms are wierd :D) and I like the characters introduced.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a VR horror it also excels in it's combat and atmosphere, it doesn't throw ammo and syringes at you every second, it's very balanced in a way that is also suspenseful.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very good voice acting, incredible surround tension-building music, thriller-like technics to keep you on your toes.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance wise my FPS stayed above 90 most of the time, sometimes even going over 100.
