00:00I am the last human alive and the fate of the world lays in my hands alright
00:19we're screwed then so the story is you are playing from your home base going
00:25out into the world collecting surviving doing missions that bring you closer to
00:31the mysterious entity called mother it's a simple story that does enough to keep
00:37you interested menus are simple enough to navigate and the controls are really
00:42easy to grasp you can use a mix of free walking and teleport you are armed with
00:49a bow that has a shield which you can activate with a quick press of the
00:53trigger you hold the bow and you also get unlimited supply of arrows though
00:59some take longer to generate than others normal arrows electrified arrows and
01:06explosive arrows though you cannot have the shield up as you use the arrows the
01:13mechanics of it all feels really decent the size of the game feels pretty fair
01:18for the nine dollars I paid for the game certain doors you cannot go through
01:23until you find the right clearance key cards higher number key cards can unlock
01:28lower number keypads it's a crazy looking world very broken very nicely
01:34designed it reminds me a little of into the radius enemies and bosses are quite
01:40fun not a lot of variance though and don't take too many hits to kill though
01:45some have shields that you can only take down using the electrified arrows you
01:51don't seem to suffer too much damage if you get hit moving out of the way of
01:56their shots is pretty easy you have a couple of seconds to react and if your
02:01health gets low you can just top it back off by drinking a can of juice though I
02:07did find it a lot more fun when you get attacked by a barrage of enemies instead
02:12of just two or three at a time the puzzles are kind of basic but they do
02:18keep you engaged simple things like finding clipboards with passcodes or
02:22passwords on to enter into computers or maybe shooting explosive into a weakened
02:27wall and a few other things but I don't want to give away all of those secrets
02:32there are also collectibles out in the world that you can take back into your
02:37lair and admire I do really also like the shooting gallery online league type
02:43game shooting silly targets some still some move and then later they throw in
02:50some AI to shoot as well this is a really nice touch and I really enjoy
02:54playing this part of the game so for less than ten dollars this game is
02:58pretty good though I feel it may benefit a newcomer to VR more than a seasoned
03:05veteran of VR and shooter games I do feel as if the base home is a little
03:10overkill way bigger than it needs to be and things are just spread out too much
03:15I think but that's just me really nitpicking I also encountered a couple
03:21of bugs along the way more than a few occasions did walls just disappear in
03:25front of me or I'd open a door and there seemed to be just an open void but
03:30overall this is quite an enjoyable game for less than ten dollars so on that
