Onward

game is too dated, find a different game

TLDR: Saw game from years ago and finally got into VR this year. Game updates seem to have downgraded every part of this game from what I saw in Youtube videos years ago. While the devs seem to want to fix this in it's current state it feels lifeless and more like a VR light-gun game. Can't recommend in current state as other games have better features, some of which this game once had. Also had issues running the game even tho my pc was over min spec. Graphics: 5/10 (Average for VR) Gameplay: 4/10 (Could be fun PvP or with friends but other VR shooters feel a lot better) Some friends and I got into VR this year and have been having a blast with Tactical Assault VR which is an amazing game, however this caused us to play it so much we just want more content as we know the maps like the back of our hand. This made me remember seeing Onward years ago when a bunch of Youtubers I watch played it. I figured I'd pick it up and give it a try as if we can get another Tactical Shooter for our group then it'd help the burnout of just playing one game. I was sad to learn that the game had a massive downgrade to work on standalone headsets but heard the devs were trying to fix it and figured I'd give it a go. After playing I see why people are upset and to me the game feels lifeless, the AI just stand there, the game ran poorly on my system despite being well over min spec, and simple things like ragdoll being gone just made the whole thing feel like a lifeless shooting gallery. I played with settings but I just couldn't stop the stutters and loading issues despite having played games with much more going on on screen and better graphics. Overall it was just a disapointment to jump into this years after it's prime and not be the game people were excited about years ago. Put all that together and I can't recommend this game as I feel other games do a better job of giving you that tactical shooter experience these days.
