Matteo311: Mad props for putting together a compelling and very professional review! Thank you for what you're doing. It's got to be hard at times to keep pushing yourself to get thru this game or that game, meet your deadlines for this/that and still stay overwhelmingly positive. 'Can't say enough good things. I'm glad you're reaping some dividends as far as truly getting on the inside track on many games and getting invites that few do.

The game does look good, and this was a great review Matt! I'll wait and see what it's like when the complete experience is released.

[@xr_rob]

Great review as always Brodie.

[@RobertDodge]

We need to know about Part 2 before anyone buy's Part 1 as the price is high for this unless Part 2 is very cheap, I feel Servios split the game into 2 parts to meet the holiday sales window and as with Behemoth the latter part of the game was under tested

[@jjeeqq]

I hope they seperated into parts to see what works and what community wants, this way we would see next parts be more polished to level of great.

[@arios1977]

This is a great game overall. I’m digging it so far. But it’s definitely not perfect. The detection to grab from the body isn’t great. That can use work. It needs a toggle grip option. When I re-adjust the controller in my hands, sometimes I every so slightly take my finger off and it that hand lets go. It’s bad when trying to shoot and your grip lets go for a quick second and either one side of your weapon drops, or the whole item drops while being attacked. But it is still very playable. If they were going for survival horror instead of action, I think they got it. The urgency to save ammo because it’s limited, adds to the horror survival element. I do like the tone it sets. I love the sound in the 3D Pulse. Like hearing the Xeno’s and trying to be able to follow the noise. And how the music will shift intensity when they are close.

[@hastings22]

I saw the character shooting and holding the alien right in front of him. In the movies there would be acid splattering. Is that a component in this game?

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

@hastings22 yes there is acid splatter

They are lucky if I buy something within the 1st month tbh

I knew it wasn't going to be like Isolation, but the more I'm hearing about this game it sounds like it's technically a wave shooter with a story. How big is the space you're allowed to travel in?

[@richpeltier9519]

Do you think the bulk of the polish issues can be addressed through updates? Would that be enough to move it further towards great? Very much looking forward to this game, just trying to decide which platforms to buy it for. Hoping I can get enough from my 4060 ti, to get it for PCVR, or if I'm gonna wait and just get it for Quest 3 when that releases. If it's great, I might get both and see if there's cross platform co op and get some group action rolling with my buddy. Sounds like a good alternative to DoE for our weekly beat downs.

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

Haven’t seen the whole video yet but Thnks for not making a big fuss about the Part 1 thing. Others have taken a more negative approach to it. I think the VR KZbinrs in particular can really sway public opinion on games with little effort and sometimes scare the viewers from ever buying the games.

[@stuartburns8657]

So at £33+ for half a mediocre game? Nah, hard pass. Not buying into that unannounced bait and switch bs

[@A-P-Eboys]

​@stuartburns8657 5 to 7 hours of gameplay sounds good for a vr game. Plus, it would be a good ip to have multiple sequels.

Hmmm looks better than Behemoth

[@SpaceDust_97]

I agree...this might get a point or 2 higher than Behemoth, IMO...but still, this looks at best a 7/10 to me, without yet playing it. I'll probably give it a go, but I'm a little reluctant, also considering it's "part 1"....hmmm.

[@louissivo9660]

Good review, seems balanced. I think for what you described $40 is a bit much. But as Meta tosses me 30% off coupons every now and then I will use one to buy this. Then the cost should be around ~$28. That seems fair for 7 hours of the first part of a longer game. As I'll be buying the Quest version I see I'll need to wait till Feb '25. No issues. Hopefully the developers will be able to learn from all this and really build on it for the later installments. Otherwise, I loved the look of what I see here.

Presumably the bugs will be ironed out in patches shortly. Too bad that the story is a bit lacking in places, though perhaps with future installments, the story will pick up. After all, both Alien and Aliens take a while to really get going, but by the end it's non-stop action.

[@daywalker6747]

Hey Matteo, great review. Got little scared by the title. But I guess it is acceptable with the hope of improvement. Even more if there are going to be 4 more acts, I would say, let's support them and hope the rest gets to the level it should. The only question I have is, how many hours, roughly, would this be? Not as a speed run, but paying it to enjoying it. Taking your time. On another subject.... This got me thinking... How is it we still don't have a decent predator game in vir? (or avp one).

Its almost complete reversal for Servios & Skydance, Saints and sinners was awesome and Onslaught was meh!. No Behemoth was kind of Ok and Alien looks awesome. So glad Servios pulled it off. I wasn't hyped for this because of Servios history, but now I am. And im sure skydance will get there with Behemoth too. It's been a great year for VR, especially PCVR and PCVR2 & with batman on Q3. For me Metro is game of the year, so immersive, especially the trippy lost bits, the world most accurate bad mushroom trip simulator. Just to let you know you called the Servios Walking dead game saints and sinners at 2:17, easy done as saints and sinners it so talked about. Cheers for this review.

[@stuartburns8657]

Part 1 bait and switch. Pistol kills in 3 shots Safe rooms lol Waves of attacks every 3 minutes..constantly. Looks decent graphically. Tired of broken launches, and whilst I was cautiously pessimistic, the various so-so reviews make it a hard pass

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

To this day I remain impressed with Red Matter 1&2 on Quest-3. Everything looks so real, 3-dimensional, reflective and you can interact with most objects in a realistic way. Every other "AAA" title falls short. I've refunded Metro and Behemoth... and Asgard's Wrath is a boring flat mess to me. I might be a little single minded and picky. I've pre-ordered Alien. Hoping it stacks up to what was possible 4 or 5 years ago.
