Jan. 2025

Underappreciated old VR title. This is a port of a port of a mobile game. While the implementation of its VR mechanics is pretty barebones, it stands out as one of the few totally complete original action RPGs that you can play in VR. It's a personal favorite of mine even if it isn't a superb or even really good in a lot of aspects, and if you're tired of VR games that feel short, gimmicky, or narrow in scope, then this one may be worth trying. Dead Effect 2 is, firstly, a looter-shooter RPG rather than an immersive FPS with space zombies. Weapons have gear levels and damage stats which you will need to grind and upgrade. You can also get various spells and perks which boost your performance, but these are mostly secondary. There is a good variety of guns to choose from, with different sidearms, rifles, melee weapons, and more to loot. Very mid-2000s esque fair. There's not a whole lot of difference in weapon calibers or variants of the same type, and a lot of stats like 'weapon stability' and 'switch speed' don't translate into VR controls at all, but it's still fun to blast zombies and run around looking for secrets. On top of that, your armor and cybernetics can be upgraded with various parts to improve your health, movement speed, spell power, or melee damage. Levels are mostly same-y sci-fi ship corridors and system biomes populated by either zombies or hostile soldiers with occasional bosses or mini-bosses throughout. Each mission sort of plays out like a "run" where you have to complete certain objectives. Campaign missions have specific objectives for that area needed to unlock new missions, but you can also do side missions with timed survival missions, boss hunts, or scavenger hunts. It still plays kind of the same either way, but at least it's some variety. The big thing that stands out to me here is that it is definitely a "game" with VR controls rather than an experience or demo built entirely around trying to reinvent virtual reality at the cost of game feel. It's simple, replayable, and doesn't waste my time. in the original platform this wouldn't be a recommend for that reason, but I think VR is quality added in this case. This is how VR should be implemented: make a good game that has VR rather than trying to gamify VR itself. My biggest complaint, aside from the previously mentioned busted stats, would be some other obvious RPG imbalances. There's way too many zombies in most levels, so automatic weapons tend to rule. It's got ridiculously grindy sidequests, some requiring you to kill thousands of enemies with specific weapons, just to get small percentage upgrades that don't add anything. It can get very dry, but if you are into looter shooters, than that's probably nothing new. Also, the voice acting and story is not great, but it gets a little better in the Meridian expansion. For a long while, I've kind of felt like developers sort of did VR right in 2017 and 2018 and then never again. This game is part of a weird mini-genere of "ported to VR" where the overall game may be nothing new or special, but it is, at least, a complete game. It's an enjoyable, safe, simple RPG with a good 20-30 hour length depending on your pereference. It's not hard, just a bit grindy, but if you've been burnt out on sub-par VR games that don't feel fun to play more than once, maybe this might be worth a try. Decent recommend for VR enthusiasts and newcomers.

Very solid VR experience. Nice coop campaign with decent variety of objectives. Side missions (Acting as a filler or level-up grind. Thankfully grinding is not needed much). Variety of weapons and powers is great! From melee / magic playstyle to grenades or heavy chaingun. And switching between playstyles is possible pretty much anytime, as resetting skills is easy (just money cost, and later on you have more money then you need). And best of all - you can experience it all with one or two friends. Game is not too expensive and its definitelly worth the money.

Jan. 2025

pretty decent VR game played the original without vr and you get exactly the same experience the VR version however is the first ever VR game ive played that actually lets you adjust the belt holsters ETC the aiming/handling and reloading is a bit wonky however but minor

Nov. 2024

This game scrapes over the line just by the skin of its teeth. Really deserves a 5/10 but for the graphics it would be a real dog. The weapons feel janky and wont release or go to your backpack. The voice acting is hammy and that Minnikin guy? Oh brother!. The inventory system is soooo confusing just... dont even bother Several attempts at using a Grenade ended in pieces on the floor. If you buy the DLC you need to have played the game from the start but cloud saves may entitle you to load an old save if you got through it once before. upgrading weapons? Forget it but if you do it only applies to the one weapon. Probably OK for a single play through - get it on sale. It does look quite good which gives it some points and the atmosphere feels like inside a Space ship so that's a plus. Feels like yet another Russian made POS. you dont get to choose the level of hardness and some levels you have wave after wave of Zombies coming at you. The levels could have been a bit longer and more detailed because it gets a little same old same old after a while. Again this recommendation is for maybe the one play-through and get it on sale.
