无愧是最负盛名的VR游戏,大几年前的圆梦进度+1。 [i][b]射击手感爽[/b][/i],本来就是vr,第一视角沉浸拉栓打药的体验确实是PC不可及的。 [i][b]人物和敌人更爽[/b][/i],猎头蟹僵尸联合军和一些特殊生物,比如jeff这些生动的样子,各自的机制和关卡设计都下了功夫,试过了,你头上戴个铁桶真的可以防猎头蟹咬。 [i][b]精致的场景纹理和巧妙的物品互动最爽[/b][/i],拿着一瓶啤酒可以看到里面气泡翻腾,晃一晃还能出沫子。 [strike]解密和恐怖内容不爽因为我是个笨蛋还胆小[/strike] 总之流程不长,但不乏惊叹,如果你很好奇一个VR游戏能带给人多少惊喜,这款游戏值得你用十来个小时体验(胆特别小的除外)
Immersion so good you'll forget what reality looks and feels like. With suitable haptics for every touch, you can get lost in City-17 like it was your own hometown. You'd be missing out if you played with the no VR mod, as you can genuinely feel every shot you take at an enemy combine, zombie, or antlion. If you have a VR headset, this is a must-buy. Not to mention, it has a thriving workshop scene, so if you've ever dreamt to be Alyx Vance using a bow to shoot an explosive barrel with headcrab zombies crowding it, you can! Honestly, I can't recommend this game enough, you can tell a lot of love was put into this game, and if you still aren't convinced, may I add that it has gnome chompski? That loveable gnome that you carried through the streets of left 4 dead 2 and white forest from half-life 2 episode 2? Yeah, he's here now, and he's surprisingly not as annoying to carry as a lot of people say, I say this with a gnome run under my belt. Are you convinced yet? Well, you better be once I tell you that there's new friendly faces you'll be meeting, new combine you'll be facing, and new xen flora and fauna you'll be struggling against during your journey. It's honestly so cool how big the worldbuilding is for this game, how every beer bottle has a liquid simulation inside, every animal and plant reacting how they would if you were to see them in real life, and all that with surprisingly low requirements for specs. Might I add that almost every interaction has been accounted for? For example, when you're planning your journey, your companion will react accordingly to what you use as a stand-in for yourself. Now, are you ready to play? Because I would be.
