A harsh virtual reality zombie shooter with realistic mechanics, extremely dangerous enemies, liters of blood and dismemberment. This is not the place for beginners and casuals.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] You can view my initial impressions review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/mvAdG1s05oA Yeah, I'm not gonna write a full review. Putridness is pretty putrid. I know it's Early Access, but it's in a barely playable state with placeholder assets all over the place. I don't think that's the point of Early Access, to just shove a game prototype on Steam and put it up for sale. I don't know this dev. I have no guarantees that the dev will work on this game and improve it to a polished state. All I know is that it isn't worth $12 currently. It's not worth anything currently. I feel like I'm playtesting a game for free so the dev can fix the game. Unfortunately, that isn't fun. So I can't recommend this game. BTW it's supposed to be a gory horror survival zombie shooter. If you want to know what's wrong with the game, simply watch my video. I think that says it all and why I'm scoring it so low.

"Putridness" truly is putrid as of right now. I "e x p e r i e n c e d" this with the Valve Index, so you don't have to. The menu: The menu where you start off is a small room with a table and a red ball. You place the red ball into the square/level you wanna play like a child at a daycare. The Tutorial: The tutorial shows you just how badly the game is made for the valve index. You walk not by the thumbstick, but by the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TOUCHPAD USED FOR SCROLLING! You enter a room with 2 doors, one which can be unlocked with a key which after unlocking it breaks off (which I thought wasn't a bad design choice.). Inside the next room you find a (what I assume to be) makarov and the game tells you how to load and shoot it. To exit the tutorial you have to shoot yourself in the head. The shooting range: The shooting range had a decent start, showing off the many weapons you get for it being EA. The problem? You can't use most of them if on index. You can use the PP-91, makarov and an AK, the rest are impossible to reload or even use. The mosin outright refused to load despite it being a stripper clip. I shot a couple bottles and zombies and noticed another flaw: the zombies themselves. The zombies when dead, sometimes still moan around and even damage you if you get too close. I just shot myself in the head to get to the hopefully good part. The office: I woke up in a 2/3 textured room with a too big skybox outside and saw a zombie peacefully sleeping on the floor. As I walked around the room at a snail's pace, the zombie awoke and simply walked out of the room, taunting my speed. I followed after with a chair, seeing as the room I was in had no weapons and spotted another zombie on the floor. Before I could even enter a different room, the first zombie returned from his coffee break and attacked me! I viciously slammed my chair against him 6 times before dying from 3 hits. Also the zombie gore is decent-ish, but blood textures are on an odd layer which means any zombie over a blood puddle will have blood move around oddly. Is it worth 9.99€? No. Will it be worth 9.99€? Maybe. The game just came out, so judging it harshly is a bit of a ♥♥♥♥ move, but releasing a game into EA in this state is an insult to the player.
I have to give credit to 'Putridness' where it is due. This really is the biggest mess of a game I have played in a long time! While I expect issues with any Early Access game this game is a broken, mess of a game that is so full of glitches and issues that it is pretty much unplayable. It also says the game is "room-scale" only and requires at least 2m x 1.5m play area. That is simply not true and you can play it sat down on a swivel chair because there is no snap turning, but it does have full locomotion. It doesn't matter that I couldn't even start the game in the first try anyway because the stupid selector ball vanished (see gameplay video) or that I couldn't even get the gun to load, what matters is that this game will never be worth £9.29 unless it was remade with a lot more effort in terms of graphics and content. This is not a game anyone should be recommending at the moment, but maybe after a lot more work (and a MASSIVE price drop) it will be worth a look. Gameplay video - https://youtu.be/hE7fKlImccE
Putridness is an Early Access paid VR game that is a zombie survival shooter. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index and Meta Quest 3 via Steam Link system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. Has a tutorial mission. Has a shooting range with zombies. Sometimes hard to get magazines into guns and bullets into guns. Currently, has 2 missions Easy and Hard. The easy mission have no weapons that you can find, i don't think that is fun or smart. Yeah, the zombies make a mess when you shoot them and are gory. The gun models looked ok. The lobby is Cheap. Has instructions in English and Russian. Maybe pass on buying this till it is released from EA, not worth paying money for. I got a free key for this from the Steam Curator program.

Alter Schwede ist das schön blutig. Ich habe echt erst gedacht voll der Sch... Nach dem Ich es vorgestellt habe, bin ich echt begeistert, das könnte was werden. Schon krass das man die einzelnen Kugeln in das Magazin reinmachen kann, also schon realistisch. Grafik ist Okay, manche Sachen sehen gut aus, dann einige wieder nicht aber die Waffen sehen schon echt sehr gut aus und fühlen sich gut an, Sound auch alles super. Konnte nur leider keine Einstellungen finden, kommt wohl noch. Mir wurde an manchen Stellen was schwindelig bei der Drehung. Für knapp 10 Euro mega, schaut gerne in mein Video Da erkläre ich alles.

While the concept of a 'realistic and serious' zombie shooter is a good, tried and true idea for virtual reality games, I can't recommend this game when the main idea of handling a firearm accurately and realistically in this game is having to manually fiddle and drop a magazine on a table to get it at the slightly jaunted angle needed to slide it into the magazine well while you're being spat and chewed on. In addition, the overall movement scheme is controller-based locomotion, with no ability to change these settings whatsoever, there's not even a settings menu to lower sound effects, or increase the smooth turning speed, being left at a slow-motion turn when you need it most. I can understand a game being easy to play, and hard to master, but this game seems to follow the trend of being difficult for the sake of being difficult and even clunky. In addition, even with a 3060 ROG gaming laptop that runs every other VR title at a smooth, and crisp 90 frames, this game suffers from stutters at the slightest turn of a corner, and the gore effects while absolutely stunning and visceral, seem to play a heavy hand in the loss of performance. So unfortunately, Putridness VR to me will stay just that. Utterly putrid, and reeking of development-hell. Perhaps when more ease-of-access options become available and the game becomes better polished and of a higher caliber than a 9x18 bullet, I'll give this game another go.
Much better than when it was first released, there is an easy mode and a hard mode, which is really more of a hard or a impossible mode at it's current state of development. The gunplay is good for the most part, although it struggles at times due to the gun some times not firing and two handed guns struggling with accuracy with how much they move at time, but it is an early access game. The movement needs improving because there is currently only left handed directional movement and the movement speed itself is way too slow for how much you have to move. The gore is nicely done although sadly there is no option to hit a zombie with your gun or a chair, which would probably be a nice way to make the hard mode at least a little bit more fun and make up for the difficult reloading and inventory management. Overall the game is a good game, and is in a better state for an early access VR game then other VR games that have been released into early access. The game overall is unfinished but still better than some other games that are completely broken, I personally think we have just had too many great VR zombies games and games containing zombies games for something unfinished to be seen with the same eyes as a type of game we haven't seen a good take on yet. As on last note, I really like the ammo being the direction you picked it up in, it really makes reloading quickly hard, especially when you are actively getting attacked, although like I said earlier, adding in some form of bashing to allow you to stumble zombies would be a nice way to make that extra bit of difficulty not feel like there is no chance of survival at all.
Zombies got stuck on walls and kept wigging out. Game crashed after 5 minutes of playing. Was looking forward to this too, will rate again after this game has more work
Это шедевр, у игры определённо есть будущее, буду с нетерпением ждать дальнейших обновлений:)
OK so first off, judging by other reviews there has always been a issue with this game on index, which I can say they have tried to improve which i actually respect the effort but it aint there yet. issues i experienced were mostly with grabbing things and the backpack system. to start off: you need to have a 100% grip all the time or you drop everything... including your gun. second if you are moving quick and accidentally or intentionally grab something you likely threw it through the floor rendering it useless as unreachable. third tho i like the ability to grab a gun on the ground anywhere along the body, a slide based pistol you could accidentally rapid chamber a entire mag picking it up from the slide. you can also grab a round out of a mag your picking up. finally: its a lil hard to put stuff in slots at times or know where to grab to pull a item out of said slot. the ring does change colors to help with this but finding it is harder. THAT BEING SAID: if those issues were fixed id actually play this game. rn 5/10
