You must strategically paddle through maps, keep an eye out for enemies, and choose whether to sneak past them, shoot objects to distract and blind them, or take them out and potentially bring more enemies into play. The boat portions of video games are generally the worst (hi there, Half-Life 2), so nDreams making an entire game out of stealth kayaking through enemy territory was a bold choice. Michael HicksĪ more stationary, but also more polished, stealth shooter But there remain some bugs and issues with the AI detection that can lead to frustrating moments where you'll say, "How the heck was I spotted?!" If you're not a stealth fan, in particular, Espire 1 may be more miss than hit for you. On the Quest 2, the game has some graphical enhancements to bring it closer to the PSVR port in visuals, and we appreciate the comfort settings that make moving around in VR feel less nauseating. Thankfully, there's a ton of gadgets and weapons that'll add enough variety for fans of the stealth genre. Considering the fairly high price tag, you'll only get your money's worth, so to speak, if you like playing and replaying levels, finding new ways to take out or sneak past enemies, and competing to beat other players' high scores. Using various gadgets and weapons, you'll climb up walls to avoid security cameras, tranquilize guards, tell them to "Freeze!" using the Quest 2's integrated mic, hide bodies before they're spotted, or go nuts with your weapons once an alert is called.Įspire 1: VR Operative has six single-player missions and no multiplayer or challenge modes - and the devs have said they have no plans for new content modes.

Apex Construct is a great place to start if you're relatively new to VR and want a game that will challenge you without overwhelming you against online opponents. You'll spend hours exploring and re-exploring visually rich environments, looking for clues to solve the game's mysteries. There is a fun survival challenge where you compete against endless enemies and take on the leaderboard, but otherwise, there's no social element to Apex Construct.
That being said, this is definitely a single-player, story-driven game. While this isn't a traditional gun-based shooter, the bow motion controls with Touch controllers work excellently, and the lack of headset wires means you can spin to hunt and shoot the robots charging at you from every angle. Thanks to the Quest 2's enhanced power, Goldilocks would say that its Apex Construct port is just right. Then it came to the Quest, where the developers had to significantly devolve the peripheral graphics, audio, and other features to make it portable. When Apex Construct - a post-apocalyptic bow-and-arrow shooter where you fight off robots while searching the remains of civilization for answers - first launched on PSVR, our review said it looked and played well, but the motion controls left much to be desired.
