The Path of Greatest Resistance

I tried my best to like this one - about 3 sessions of 15 minutes each on 3 separate days - but I simply couldn't endure it anymore. Although the game has a really good soundtrack (it was very nostalgic of a Final Fantasy 3 castle tune), it was too random and largely uninspiring to continue playing. The gun doesn't shoot particularly straight, and the enemies are very far away, which gives the game a very random feel as opposed to any sort of skill or improvement in shooting. Also, enemies shoot from far away and their bolts are very fast, making it almost impossible to dodge. The lack of feedback after being hit didn't give me much desire to even try to dodge, really, and I found myself 'wild-wild-west'ing most of the time on the same dreary path. While everyone seems to be heralding this for its super cheap price, I would argue that there are MUCH better shooters out there for the same or less (or free) right now on the vive. It was a good attempt, but this one just didn't do it f...

Pros: Jog on the spot locomotion Only costs £1.67 Graphics options, including in game supersampling Change gun grip angle Cons: Can barely make out distant robots Gun is very inaccurate, even slowing down and using the sight Robot bullets are incredibly fast, not being hit seems to come down to luck Can't grumble at just over a quid, but with the speed of enemy bullets, inaccuracy of yours, and distant robots being hard to see, how much you progress comes down to luck.

for the money this is a fantastic game. a really fun rail shooter and can be a good workout if you use the jogging locomotion. I made a 3 minute review of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM0JG_V1-Ec

A bit tired of VR rail shooters and this one offers nothing fun to the formula. Jogging in place could help you exercise but it's not fun when you're on a rail and it's slow as piss. Enemies appear so far away you can count the pixels that make them up. Your weapon has spread, so those far away enemies take 2 or 3 shots apiece because you inevitably miss even though your aim was dead on. It makes me question the value of such a mechanic in VR but fine, spread is an old mechanic from many generations of FPSes. Kicker is, every shot they fire hits you. Not fun. Maybe if it had a shield for the other hand instead of a pretty useless machette, and there was some time to block the shots, it could be fun. But as it is now, it just feels like someone's grad school game design project. No thought went into what makes games fun. It's just a set of conditions that are gamey. Not worth the money.

The jog (or squat, or calf extensions..) in place mode is hilarious. Finally you will feel sympathy for your FPS avatars.

If this game has some way to avoid being hit, I can't find it. There doesn't appear to be any way to dodge or block enemy bullets so every game only lasts the few seconds it takes for your shields to run out. The game either needs to add some way to survive more than a few seconds or add an explanation of whatever game mechanic I'm missing that permits survival.

this is fun! an on-the-rails shooter with gun and shield still needs some fine tuning, but for 4$ its well worth it id say! :)

Amazing first time I've played a game and thought it was worth loads more. It's got quality about it too.I hope they keep improving it

It's pretty fun, but I would love it if they made the easiest difficulty a bit easier (by for example removing the spider chasing you and making enemy projectiles move slower). Definitely worth it.

Great game, love the on rails shooting, better than a fixed spot endless waves type we have seen a lot of lately. Also very very much worth the price. Looking forward to updates. Things it has (I have seen £15+ games with less) 2 modes of movement, on the spot jogging and sat in a minecart. Graphics options including super sampling and gun angle. 2 game modes, endless and missions. 3 Difficulties Gun accuracy has a fake spread to it so you kinda need to spam at things at distance to hit them. Slower enemy bullets would be nice with the ability to deflect them with the sword. clearer or different coloured enemies to make them easier to see. All in all worth every penny and more.
