“My views on this game are on like both ends of the spectrum. There are aspects i adore and would say even beat the best vr game of all time, Into the Radius. But there are also aspects that make it feel kinda grindy and…”
“Great game! I couldn't put this one down until I finished everything. I love the characters, the weapons, the enemies, and the story. I also like being able to just hop on and do a quick raid to relax. I'm currently…”
“A great VR extraction shooter. Game looks great. Its raid based. You pick a location and head out with your doggo a back pack and weapons. Maps are generated each raid, so though things will look familiar the layout is…”

“This is by no means not a bad game. The graphics are great, and one could say it punches way above its weight in terms of presentation and ambition. For the 13 bucks I snagged it for, it is probably the best Stalker-y…”

“Snagged this one on a sale and figured I would give it a try. So far it is very good, especially for the price (even if full price). This is obviously an early access title and has one developer, but with that being…”

“Stalker but a procedural gen extraction shooter with missions and some interesting game mechanics that I did not expect. I did not like into the radius as I always thought the map and the raids felt far too prolonged,…”

“This game is really addictive! There are some bugs and glitches to sort out, but the game is still fun and the developer is very active and responsive. I really like the game design but it could use some variety. Still,…”
“Totally recommend getting this game! Please support the indie developer! It's shows how a single indie developer can still produce great game and even better, keeping the promise of consistent updates~”
“This game rules! really fun really cool game, slightly rough around the edges in places (had some items fall through the floor and demon AI seems a tad wonky) but I'm having loads of fun. Looking forward to whatever new…”

“Very fun and surprisingly polished VR extraction FPS from a solo dev. The looting and character progressions is very satisfying - if you liked how the looting in TWD Saints and Sinners felt, this feels like a game that…”

“The game is rather rough around the edges in its current state. Weapon controls aren't the best, especially with some rifles like Mosin. The AI is clunky at times. Sometimes things fall through the floor. Sometimes…”
“Gripping onto the body slots can be very janky, but that aside I really like this game. RIP Paradox of Hope.”

“Needs more time. Some yank, but its immersive. Weird long blackscreens after the end of each raid. Dog is very cute - but needs way more uses or interactions. You cant make a STALKER-like, with a mystery zone full with…”
“можно гладить собаку и играть с ней 10/10 Если более детально, то игра на самом деле очень даже не дурная, есть сюжет, локации выполнены достаточно добротно, присутствует атмосфера, в целом, в плане арт дизайна сделано…”

“I'm truly happy that I bought this game. I don't know why, but I thought it would be a super janky, low budget, soulless rip off of Into The Radius, but it’s not, it’s absolutely great! ITR is a top 3 game for me; I have 111 hours in it. But here are a few things Convergence…”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“Convrgence is a game that clearly draws inspiration from titles like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Metro, and it does a great job of creating a deeply atmospheric post-apocalyptic experience. As you move through the different locations, you can strongly feel the Slavic-inspired mood: a…”

Recommend checking some of the posted game guides on steam if you get confused or stuck, I know I had to a few time! Also, this game has a pity…”
