I cannot recommend any other VR game more than this (AS LONG AS YOU CAN HANDLE IT), HL: A is good, sure, but I honestly enjoyed this game so much more, the replayability is great, I can play through the whole game and beat it completely differently each time, whether I accidentally or purposefully cheesed the level, completely missed the actual puzzle, or over-complicated it to oblivion, and the combo of guns and melee make it satisfying beyond any others, HL: A is guns only, blade and sorcery is melee only. This game covers both.

Now, the story, I see so many people dislike it but for me personally, I love how mysterious it is and how clueless you are, it puts you into a situation acting like you know what's going on because you're living another guys life, and each time I play the game again or watch videos on it, I realize how much stuff is connected even from the first level, It's incredible.

The tons of mods the community made are a lot of fun to mess around with, you can be swinging around like Spider-man as Master Chief while on Wuhu Island from Mario, and the amount of stuff you can do in the sandbox mode is incredible, whether your trick shotting a clueless ford or making two crablets do a Lil somethin' (and then brutally murder them while it's happening) you almost always have fun doing it.

The graphics on this game are nothing outstanding, but they are still above average for VR games. These graphics are enough for me to not notice and go "wow, that's unbearable to look at" (which is a problem I find myself noticing with quite a few VR games), as for the physics? I love them, a lot of people don't enjoy the climbing or mantling, but in my opinion, if that's how the game works, I'm going to enjoy it and learn how to play it that way, but in terms of everything else, it's amazing, you look at something, its interactable, endless possibilities of killing enemies or getting through the game easier, it's great.

I don't have many problems with the game, the only thing that I personally would want to be improved is the length of the story levels, and the amount of unique enemies you encounter, for the duration of the story, the amount is perfectly fine in my opinion, introducing more as you go on, but when you're playing sandbox, it gets repetitive seeing the same face for hours.


9.5/10
I've never had a game that was good enough in my eyes to make a full review, but this one just hits different
(I think Bonelab is going to fill in that 0.5)
