Zero Caliber VR

Don't buy if you have a Quest. Sound doesn't work via steam link. There's a few posts about fixes coming but they're years old and it never got fixed.

this game was so much better before it was crossplay. all the graphics were amazing. but now all models and textures are scuffed as hell because quest needed to ruin it and join

was a good game then they completely broke it doesnt deserve mostly positive

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] I do think this is XREAL Games' best game, but I also think it shows how the developer's resume is quite limited. This game is basically a mindless wave shooter. It's well-done, but it's mindless just the same. I think the reason why many people liked this game is because it had online co-op and you could play with a group of friends and just mindlessly shoot & blow stuff up. People still play PvP here for some reason. The maps look nice for a 2018 PCVR game. You can clearly see the difference between the Quest port and the PCVR version. One version looks really ugly and the other version looks decent. There's lots of guns and attachments you can add to each. Enemies can come from all corners and well, you may just have to use a braincell to not get killed. Shoot anything that moves or blow them up. Intense action all throughout. Just a slight pause in between all the waves of shooting. However, it has no real story (it's as mindless as the shooting) and there is no depth here at all. Game is running on the Unreal Engine 4.2. It runs smoothly on my RTX 3080. No major issues or bugs or crashes. Obviously, a lot of the VR interactions could be smoother or more immersive, but it works as an arcade shooter. You can play comfortably seated as well. [b]Rate 6.5/10. I just couldn't bring myself to do a video review on this one. What else can I say? It's a mindless wave shooter! Just keep repeating that in the review![/b] [quote]I bought this game (from Humble)!

Despite "leaving early access" the system requirements page still lists the hardware specs as "for early access". I don't remember exactly when I bought this game, but apparently it was in early access since 2019 and only was "released" in 2023. Despite this, it still feels incredibly unpolished and like an early VR era game. The devs are pretty vocal about their Quest ports, but have left the PCVR title to rot effectively. Another symptom of a decaying games industry. Update: XREAL is bad and they should feel bad, or maybe just quit. Life.

The game looks way, way worse than the preview images, feels extremely simple with enemies that move completely silently (confrontations are bloated out by spawning waves upon waves or spamming), and is 30 gigabytes yet looks like it should be a third that size if not less. The main issue though is the graphics. In-game's Ultra settings don't even have BLOOM like the previews. Turns out, they ported the version for portable headsets (Oculus Quest) to overwrite the old PC version. And never bothered to change the images on the page. It has become false advertizing and I refunded it even when it was EIGHTY PERCENT OFF. Don't get this one, there's way better shooters out there.

Im not sure why they decided to get out of early access yet, but it really doesnt feel like it. - The tutorial messages are wrong (grip is not the same as trigger). - I flew into the air and out of the battlefield in the tutorial, which was funny, but definitely a bug. - The enemy feels okayish but not great, it doesnt help that every level is an absolute spam of soldiers that walk towards you. Theres some smartness to them but not a lot. - Despite playing on high graphic settings it was very much not that Overall I did give it a try and it was fun for a bit, but thats where it ends for me

This game is the only game I've found where you can play a COD-style shooter campaign in VR with a friend, and I love it for that. If it were nothing more than that I'd still recommend it because that's such a magical experience which somehow doesn't exist anywhere else in a VR game as far as I've found. However, there are other aspects of the game which I also like: [list] * Free climbing on almost every surface! * Gun stock calibration (albeit nothing special)! * The least fussy gun customization I've found in any game so far, wherein virtually any attachment fits on virtually any gun, allowing for some hilarious and fun combinations (fully-auto pistol with a dual drum mag, laser sight, and suppressor that's 150% the length of the pistol itself yes please!)! * Lots of different guns and attachments to use the the aforementioned ways, including toggleable fire modes! * Exotic-skinned weapons hidden throughout the campaign that you can grab and take back to HQ to save! * Lootable enemy weapons that you can strip attachments off of to customize your loadout on the fly! [/list] Honestly it's so fun to find the exotic weapons hidden around the campaign maps, and I love finding a cool attachment on a weapon dropped buy a baddie that I can use on my own weapon. It's not the most polished shooter in VR by a long shot, but it's really really fun and is definitely polished enough to not get in the way of the fun if you don't let yourself get too annoyed by little things every now and then. For completeness, the things that annoy me about the game are the following: [list] * Since you can free climb on most things I accidentally grab and climb every now and then. * Certain attachments like lasers, flashlights, and some foregrips aren't able to be stripped off of your weapon once you place them for some reason. * Sometimes you can find more exotic-skinned weapons in a level than you can carry, which means you have to leave some and that makes me sad. [/list] Really it is a great addition to my VR library, but I don't think it has much of a community left (e.g. mod support was added and there are literally no coop maps - a main awesome supported feature of the mod support). I highly recommend picking this game up if you want a single-player or coop campaign with good replayability and lots of fun casual gameplay aspects.
