“This game is everything I wanted in VR- I was initially disappointed on launch due to the lack of support for SteamVR devices but today's patch fixed that so I can experience the game on my Index. It's incredible. Yeah,…”
“Another VR game made with more enthusiasm than skill. The core gameplay loops are exactly what I want in VR, hero abilities flying left and right with powerful skills making each hero feel unique. Firing guns feels…”
“This is the kind of game we needed in VR. A Well-made Team Based Hero/Class Shooter like Team Fortress/Valorant/Overwatch. It's a blast!”

“Very Fun VR Hero Arena Shooter Larcenauts plays like a VR version of Overwatch mixed with Team Fortress 2. The game is quite fun. There is a community of players that still play this game quite regularly, especially on…”
“Surprisingly well polished multiplayer HERO FPS. But on top of that the game is very fun and addictive. As you get prizes to unlock features to optimize your preferred character build. And later to optimize them. Nice…”

“I've played lots of VR games, this one so far is my favourite one, the community is great, there is lots of stuff to obtain and game is also not p2w. If you ever played overwatch it's pretty similar. Positives: +Not pay…”
“It's similar to overwatch, 3 game modes, I believe. There are 8 characters that you unlock as you progress through the free battlepass-like progression system. I don't think every character is in that, though. I'm…”
