Very fun but very short

After finally losing my VR virginity I found this game very impressive and very fun. But after playing it a third time, I found myself wanting more, more environments, different types of aliens or weapons. Just wish there was a little more to it

bro

All the comments suck. This is a tutorual game, not a GTA 6 kind of game. What are you supposed to suspect from a tutorial game. Of course its bad. But its still a solid game for a tutorial!

Critical review

Stopped working

It won't go past the "rescan" or "play" screen. I've tried reinstalling it, re-pairing controllers, restarting headset, etc. I can hear it selecting when I click on play or rescan but nothing happens. It was a fun game when it worked. Other games are working just not this one.
