2000 hours and best multiplayer shooter game meta has by far
Alright, I've been thinking about writing this for a few days, and now I will. First, I wanna say that at the time I am writing this I have 38.9 hours on Steam, but I probably have similar amount of time on Quest. This game is easily one of the best VR shooters I've ever played. The game has built-in motion/hand smoothing, so it's not like Pavlov where if you have shaky hands you won't be able to hit ♥♥♥♥. The guns overall just feel so nice to hold and use, and reloading and firing has no problem, especially with the balanced recoil this game has. But obviously, that's what you're here for on VR shooters. The gun feel. But for the actual game, it's still amazing with its maps, mechanics, and communication. Having a team of 4 - 5 players all frequently communicating makes this one of the most fun and immersive VR experiences out there. But, speaking of immersion, I'm pretty sure this game's optimization has been abandoned. No matter if you are using a Quest 3 (like me) with a native resolution of 2064 x 2208, on both Steam and Quest the max graphics is something like 1832 x 1920. Yes, even on SteamVR when you scale the graphics higher than that (I think), or on Quest 3 Native when the default resolution is 2064 x 2208. This may lead to the overall environment in the distance not being very immersive when they are at a lower quality. The gamemodes are very-- well, tactical. You can escort a VIP to an extraction point while the enemy team tries to kill him (anyone can play as the VIP), you can upload a code to an uplink station while the enemy team tries to defend it, and you can make your way around enemy NPCs to an extraction point in the dark. Oh, and speaking of dark, every official map has its own night mode, where you have to wear night vision goggles as you fight for the objective. The night vision is very immersive with the digital filter attachment, which uses 3 loadout attachments/points (max is 20 in PvP, max is 30 in co-op), but it costs no attachments to use a green, white, or amber phosphor on the goggles. There are 4 loadout classes: Rifleman, specializing in automatic (and some semi-auto) mid-ranged rifles. Specialist, specializing in more rare and unusual weapons with cool attachments (such as grenade launchers). Weapons are usually small and very fast-firing. Also the only class with SMGs available, pretty sure. Support: Specializing in heavier weapons like LMGs for suppressive and powerful fire. Marksman: Specializing in long-ranged weapons like sniper rifles, and even has equipment like air drones and ground drones. Every class works on every official map (I say official map as this game does have workshop support for custom maps, which even has some very popular and high-rated map in the regular map-choosing queue) in its own special way. Overall, if you wanna see a small and rare amount of annoying children, want fun, tactical, and suspenseful gunplay, large, open maps, and an occasional RPG or ballistic shield, then this is the perfect game. However, this game does not get mass updates (which it SHOULD get) that would make it much more popular. There also are no stats, every game is just for fun and improvement, and I doubt that will ever change in the future considering this game is 8 years old. Still a really fun and very active game, you won't have an issue finding any games. I don't know what to give it out of 10, but I can say: It good. It fun. Edit made 5 seconds after uploading: Oh, yeah, this game is crossplay with Quest.

I stabbed my own teammate to death
Overall Onward is a great game in my opinion. Is it lacking in areas - yes, however it has many great features other VR shooters dont do the same way. The PvE content is pretty fun - drop in with some friends or solo and battle an onslought of enemies - gets a thumbs up from me. I think the online modes struggle with the lower player count, however I think the game doesnt deserve all the criticism it gets, and if people gave it another try they would have vastly different opinions.
se jeu deviens de moins en moins réaliste, le bruit de tir est affreux. sa reste un jeu opti pour casque autonome c'est donc visuellement pas terrible. j'ai teste la 2.0 pendent 20 min sa ma suffi pour quitté le jeu^^ se jeu qui était si bien avant sa sorti sur casque autonome et devenu médiocre.
Great game, very immersive and realistic. I would highly recommend to anyone that has VR goggles and wants a great experience with a tactical thinking shoot em up/sim. If you have a bunch of like minded mates, even better! Just as long as they aren't the type to 'Accidentally' team kill you! Would also recommend getting either a chair (to sit on in order to crouch) or Knee pads so you can drop down quickly and maybe (If you're hardcore) space to go prone if you're like our mate and has become a full on Desert Rat and left the living room back in Civvy land! Before you know it, you'll be like Andy McNab the 2nd, sticking your head around corners, checking your six and taking a bullet for your brothers in arms!
2.0 update is pretty nice, feels good to come back to the PVE experience
