Classic Arkane mechanics, phenomenal, detailed level design, tons of gameplay options, genuinely funny script/vo, and a very clever and novel mission progression system. Arkane does it again.

I was very skeptical after hearing so many bad things about Doom VFR and Fallout 4 VR, but this is a solid port. There is really nothing else out there that this comparable to 200+ hours of a fully-featured open world AAA game in virtual reality. When the Oculus DK1 was first announced so many years ago, this was the kind of experience VR enthusiasts expected, and while it's a shame that it took so long for ANYONE in game development to listen, I'm glad someone finally did. This is an absolute must-own if you have a VR headset. It runs very smoothly, even on slightly older systems like mine, and Oculus Touch support works 100%.

This is still a port, not a native VR game, so things like an immersive 3D inventory and hand presence are missing. But the overall experience is still phenomenal.

Pros: Looks great, has the fantastic art design and Looking Glass-style gameplay focus that Arkane is known for. Gameplay is super polished and improves on the already excellent first game in every way. Tons of new options for non-lethal playthroughs. Very high replay value, especially since there are two playable characters.

Cons: Took some fiddling with the default graphics settings to get a good framerate, even on a pretty good PC. Not a fan of the way lean toggling works, but haven't figured how to fix it yet (if it can be fixed).

Bottom Line: One of the must-own games of the year.

Loving it so far! No technical issues. Seems to be a refinement of the groundwork Eidos Montreal laid with Human Revolution, and that's fine by me.
