Only at 50% off minimum. It's a decent game and a fun and short experience, but I can't think of a good reason to not just buy the second game that has many more (advertised) features that this game is lacking or would assuredly be refined and fixed.
A few examples being:
-Some settings reset in the menu every time you launch the game.
-Quite a few sections are blocked off during combat with invisible barriers which feels cheap as hell.
-The closest thing to melee combat is throwing objects which I have not tried but from what I have seen, it's far more difficult and there's little incentive to learn it. You can't melee enemies who are too close, despite there being items in the game like hammers which would make great melee weapons.
-There's little to no animations for the firearms short of running out of ammo and a full gun which I had foolishly hoped for.
-Despite having customization options, as far as I know, there was no way to view my characters which was slightly disappointing but is definitely a nitpick.
-You can't shoot through any surfaces in this game, including many gaps between wood or materials of the wall. I don't know if that's common for VR games, but it was a negative to me.
-Many of the guns have little to no differences apart from magazine sizes.
-There is almost no recoil which means there's no reason to two hand any weapons in this game, which felt very weird but somewhat worked with the game-play I guess.

In short, while there's some positives of this game, I can't find a silver lining for anyone to buy this game at full price or anything above $15. It's action packed, fun, and witty, but then so what? There are many more experiences like this that have some unique twist that this one did not. No unique story-line, no deep character, no surprises. Just an action/drama zombie game where you kill zombies. Maybe it would have been better with friends instead of solo.
