This game was literally perfect before you wanted to bring it to the quest. Was nothing but a downward spiral from what it used to be since the downgrade. Any dev should use this game as to not what to do. To ♥♥♥♥ over your community and game
Was my favorite vr game for a long time. I loved the more milsim focused lobbies you would often find and always found the social aspect amazing. Once it got ported to the quest the lobbies got alot worse but at least the game got some more players i guess, plus the decision for the graphics to be downgraded not just for quest but pc as well is just infuriating. After the game stated updating again things were looking up. The new weapons were great, the new nightvision was fun to play with, and the graphics were slightly upgraded. Things were good. But then the new update (onward 2.0) dropped. The new weapons are nice but now all of the maps look way to bright. The atmosphere now is horrible and suppression seems worse then it was. But this pales in comparison to the new player models. The look horrible and dont fit the game setting or vibe in the slightest, for some reason all of the playermodels look black from a distance so now almost every match at least someone dies to teamkilling and it is really difficult to engage someone from a distance now without running the risk of shooting your teammates. The armbands look bad and I have no idea what flags they are actually supposed to represent (I assume they're flags?) and all in all the game just looks and feels horrible now. Before the quest update I would have absolutely recommended this game, honestly with the state the game was righ before the 2.0 update i would still definitly recommend it. But in the state is in right now (unless the change it) I cant even enjoy it and wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Ruined the game when it went to Quest. Do not buy this game. Devs deserve to go bankrupt.
wait till they make it good again if they ever do
This game is infested with children. If this were like 13-15 year olds, I'd say whatever, it's like a lot of games. But no, I mean CHILDREN. I just ran into a 6 year old on here. The kid barely knew what was happening. This is an issue for a VR tactical shooter. Don't get me wrong, I would VASTLY prefer if the entire player base were grown adults as this would make playing the game actually consistent and fun, but I would happily settle for even the teenagers. They aren't great to talk to, in fact they can be really annoying, but screw it, they at least wanna play the game most of the time. But the literal children are extremely unfun to play with and ruin the experience. For reference, the Co-Op mode on here, which is by far one of the best parts of the game, is suffocated with lobbies of children that set the AIs difficulty to passive. You'd think, "Oh, that just means easy, don't be too hard on them!" but no, passive means THEY DO NOTHING. They do not even TRY to shoot you. They don't move, they just stand still. And here is the kicker, team killing is still enabled in passive difficulty, so it just turns into children screaming and killing each other in a VR tactical shooter. If you have 3 extra friends, or even just 1 or 2, this game can be worth it for fun tactical co-op gameplay. If you own this game and aren't a child, feel free to add me and I'll likely play with you. But if you don't have many friends with VR (or many friends at all) please do not purchase this game. You will NOT enjoy it.
ONWARD began development during a time of great VR optimism. Dante, a legend within the community, represented the hopes of the medium as a one man band developing ONWARD. Positioned as the only "tactical" VR shooter at the time, it drew in mil simmers from Arma, air soft, Paintball and IRL veterans, establishing a mature competitive community early on. For gamers raised on the advent of personal computers, it was the logical conclusion of FPS: getting INTO the game and shooting tacti-cool. ONWARD 2.0 IS its final form, and, despite the compromises born of adaptation to the still developing VR market, I still go to it for: - Immaculate gun handling - Physically based bullet ballistics - Tense PVP - A non-distracting graphical visual style (PCVR) Train up on hunt, graduate to coop, and hit PVP when you're hard enough! Finally, if you want recreational PTSD, join the Onward discord and find a friendly league team and experience something CRAZY. Will never stop playing this game, nothing like it after 2000 hours+
The game is 8 years old and now owned by a multi billion dollar corp, why is it still in early access? The game has great mechanics (best in class of vr game) but we need new content like maps, weapons, and modes.
Dont buy it. Downgrading graphics everytime for quest users. The game is not worth it. Get tactical assault. 10 times better.
This game used to be good. They made it horrible. Graphically nerfed, audio nerfed, just all around fumble on what used to be a great game.
i would love to recommend this game. however, the graphics are terrible, the gunplay feels awful and tactical assault vr does everything this game does but better. if they just reverted the graphics back to how they were originally and made the gunplay feel more engaging, i think this could be a great game.
