“Not sure why people are hating, I think the 1.0 beta was awesome. It literally turned the game from an early access indie game into a AAA game. Sure, some of it could be more fitting. But I didn't think it was an issue…”
“It's been amazing watching this game from the initial early access all the way to the full release. If you are a STALKER fan and looking for the most similar experience in VR, this is it. There really isn't another VR…”

“ITR2 was an amazing concept in the beta. I enjoyed the environments, the environment told story, and the gunplay. the 1.0 release has me totally turned off it. it's linear, it's got not 1 but 2 annoying characters that…”

“Review after I've played the EA and now back to complete the 1.0 In short, ITR 2 is a big improvement in a lot of ways from ITR 1. And I wholeheartly recommend you to play it because, as of now, there's no other VR game…”
“Best VR game to date with huge improvements from the first game. The gameplay is incredible and addictive. it scratches an itch other VR games simply can’t and non-VR games have no chance of reaching. You start with the…”

“Devs, Right when the game released, I bought two copies, thrilled. Big fan of ITR. After work, I quickly pulled out all my VR equipment, which had been gathering dust for months, and got things ready… not just for me,…”
“Genuinely one of the best VR games of 2026 so far. The gunplay is super smooth and responsive, the customization is great, the locations are cool, and the progression feels natural. It's also pretty decently scary, but…”

“Honestly other then a few minor things its a good game, it plays well despite having an older pc, honestly its one of the better gunplay experiences out there as specially since you don't get sniped from across the map…”
“Please see this review, developers! I love the game, and the launch version is finally well-optimized and playable. I have one request: please restore the ability to use the off-hand to interact with shotgun physics. In…”
“It runs and plays really smoothly. Not as much jank as the original. It's definitely fun to play! It's a bit harder than the first. The graphics are nice but sometimes the world seems a bit off to me. I can't put my…”

“1.0 was rushed out the door, using nvgs forces you to look up 45 degrees just to see centered which is gross. Countless bugs. Until the bugs are ironed out this game will stay on the shelf sadly. Hell Ironman mode…”

“If you are new to this series - buy and enjoy this game, it was made for you, and it is a solid video game. If you are a fan of ITR1 - lower your expectations. This is a casualized and spiritually disconnected sidestep…”

“I really love this game, but the devs need to lock in. First of all, the old map UI showed six “locations” you could travel to, but now that 1.0 is out, we only have three. The game has also had a history of poor…”

“The new beta story update is abysmal. The game was better when the ghost character didn’t speak. At minimum, it needs a skip button for the monotonous dialogue. I’ve enjoyed every previous beta despite bugs, but this…”

“I've waited 2 years for this to release, and it is jus HORRIBLY optimized, even my friend with a RTX 5060 was hitting an average of a few fps. Listen, I like the game, but it's just too laggy. Fun but laggy as ♥♥♥♥.”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Positives about itr2: The game has extensive customization, You can truly make the guns your own by customizing where you want an attachment, how far it will be from your eyes when lining up shots, the colour of your gun and so on. I only briefly experimented with this mechanic…”
— a player, Steam review · 98 hrs played“Lets get a few things straight. I love this game. Its fun, tense and in-depth with customization. All big things I want out of a VR game.
