Early Access Review
Despite this game being in early, early access with some rough spots and bugs, its already pretty much the best shooter on VR, and one of the first ones that really feels like a full AAA shooter. It's easy to sink a lot of time into this game right now and have a very enjoyable experience.
This game will of course be compared to the game that typifies the genre, Escape from Tarkov, and it draws heavily from it to great effect, while also successfully combining many good aspects from the established VR shooter scene. The gameplay is also supported by some great maps and tense that combines to feel like a much more rewarding experience than any VR shooter I have played so far.
I really enjoy the varied style of being able to run and gun and have a crazy shootout, or going max stealth and slowly stalking a player in a large building who is making a lot of noise and blabbing with their friend while you setup the perfect ambush when they round the corner and you blast them before they even knew what happened. The gunplay is great and there is a great variety of weapons and attachments to customize things how you want to play.
If this kind of shooter appeals to you, do yourself a favor and check it out and get lost in the gunfights. The devs were frequently patching and fixing issues in the closed and open alpha, and I have no doubts they will continue to do so during early access / closed beta, and this game will just get better and better.
Despite receiving a free key for participation in closed beta, I purchased the full game to support CWS and all the hard they are putting into this game. I gave the free key to a friend so they could enjoy it as well.
I've been waiting for this kind of game for a long time and I'm glad its here and living up to the hype.

I've gotta see if I can join you in the game later on. Always been a fan of Tarkov, but 'Tarkov in VR' does appeal to me quite heavily!
