“Easily has the foundation to be my all-time favourite VR game. I played the hell out of the HLA mods (mostly because my gun and hand would disappear from reality and there were no checkpoints) and just the VR gameplay I…”

“Yes, it has it's flaws. VR locomotion is janky, performance is stuttery, and the enemy's AI is programmed to path-find towards you with no intelligence whatsoever. But this is a good VR game. In a market saturated with…”
“Holy hell! I'm having a blast! Absolutely a fan of the gun feel, which is pretty rare for a VR game. I always felt like most of the games failed to make guns punchy, and Gunman Contracts actually delivers. The game is…”

“Like it so far... but please look at how into the radius 2 does guns. The ability to rack the slide and insert the mag yourself instead of the game doing it for you is such a huge difference in immersion.”

“Positives - Gunplay feels great and the weapons look, feel and sound fantastic. - Graphics are good and the maps are well designed. - Lots of cool pistols, rifles and shotguns. I like that there are some lesser seen guns in the game too. - The weapon attachment system is very…”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Needs more time to cook Well the gameplay, shooting and CQC is fun, but it's not GOTY yet. I recently upgraded my GPU and soon my CPU, but I couldn't keep the games fps stable on complete low settings. Thus there is no resolution slider in-game to experiment. But stil fun and…”
