great game for somebody just getting into VR shooters. some stuff is a little jank, but it's to be expected. as others have said, its kind of a tech demo more than an actual fleshed out game. but for the price and the amount of content, still worth playing! not really anybody playing, but you can still complete the game by yourself! video review and some gameplay: https://youtu.be/5aQUoJPyXTs

Covert Syndrome – Great Concept, but It Needs Some Work 😕🔫 Covert Syndrome has potential, but unfortunately, it feels more like a rough prototype than a finished game. The unscripted AI sounds promising, but in reality, it’s hit-or-miss; enemies either rush at you in predictable waves or feel strangely passive, breaking the immersion pretty quickly. The environments are bare, and there’s not much variety in terms of level design or objectives – just endless, repetitive corridors that start to feel monotonous fast. 🚶♂️ While it’s great that the game is free, the clunky controls and limited content make it feel more like a VR tech demo than a solid co-op experience. If you’re looking for a polished VR shooter with depth, you may want to hold out for something more refined. Created with <3
Игра "Covert Syndrome" – это настоящий подарок для любителей напряженных стелс-экшенов с элементами головоломки. С первых минут погружаешься в атмосферу шпионских интриг, где каждое движение имеет значение. Разработчики проделали колоссальную работу над дизайном уровней: они одновременно и красивы, и смертельно опасны, требуя от игрока максимальной концентрации и креативного подхода к решению задач. Противники обладают достаточно продвинутым искусственным интеллектом, что делает их непредсказуемыми и заставляет постоянно адаптироваться. Это не та игра, где можно просто пробежать, стреляя во все, что движется. Приходится просчитывать каждый шаг, использовать окружение, отвлекать врагов и филигранно устранять их. Сюжет, хоть и не является вершиной оригинальности, умело держит в напряжении и мотивирует продвигаться дальше, чтобы узнать, чем же закончится эта запутанная история. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет атмосферу, усиливая ощущение тайны и опасности. "Covert Syndrome" – это вызов для вашего терпения и интеллекта, и награда за пройденные испытания ощущается сполна.
This is a middle-of-the-road review. The game functions alright, has better gun play than other VR shooters I've seen, and runs relatively smoothly, but the controls are nearly Vive-only and haven't aged well at that. There's no ability to turn on the controller, which is a pain when using a wired headset, and the only movement is via teleportation. You can tell this is an older VR game just by that lack of QoL movement controls. Like other early VR games, it's also quite reliant on clicking thumbsticks on Oculus controllers, likely out of an over-reliance of the devs on Vive control paradigms. (It also only shows instructions for Vive controllers, requiring significant trial and error to figure out the controls for anything else.) Overall, though, the game is free, so it might still be worth picking up, which is why I decided to go overall positive for the review.
I'm stuck in the ground
