Into the Radius VR

Worth every penny! This is one of the games that really makes VR feel like the future. It's super immersive, and although your character never gets stronger, it's a blast collecting ammo and outfitting your hideout.

i have never played a more perfect vr game, granted i haven't played many including the big ones like half life alyx and boneworks, but into the radius has kept me coming back to it across several platforms for two years. thank you cm games, please take more of my money

This game is Phenomenal. When i launch it i always get immersed and lose track of time. The fun factor is insane in this game. You always have something to look forward to so the game doesn't get boring. the weapons system and progression is amazing. If you have a VR headset i would Highly recommend this game. It is a must play for VR Players.

Excellent gameplay, the Tide keeps areas fresh, and the atmosphere and style are on-point

Amazing fps survival experience with all the bells and whistles of the tacticool vibes of weapon customization and upkeep. highly recommended.

It plays like it wasn't made for vr, that is to say there are many enemies and no punches are pulled just because you are in vr, the combat while straightforward was fun to a degree I haven't seen in most other vr games. the world was colorless and grey for the most part and it lent the game a good sense of atmosphere.
Its a well made and challenging game with direct rewards for exploration.
In short it was good fun, when I wasn't attacked from all sides.

I can tell that a phenomenal game is here... But my experience was less than pleasant. Grabbing things with my controller would cause them to bug like crazy. Every time I picked up a magazine, two bullets would fall out. Picking up the bullets with anything but the longer-range grab would cause me to drop them again. When I'd pick up a knife, the knife would go flying in a random direction. The only way for me to pick the knife up properly, again, was with the ranged grab - which you can't do from your backpack or arm slot. This made trying to play the game an active test of patience, which is not exactly what I was looking for.

Also, turning my camera around felt incredibly inconsistent. Often I would just be spamming my touch pad to turn, and my camera would just remain still. I don't know if this is a problem with my controller, but I don't experience it in other games, and it felt highly uncomfortable.

Still, think you absolutely should go try this game for yourself. But for me? It just didn't work. I tried fiddling with a bunch of settings, but it just didn't function right no matter what I did.

So, IN TEXT; yes! Go try this game! It gets glaring reviews, and I'm certain that, if it functions for you, you will have a great time. As a personal review score, however, I can't recommend it. My experience was just plain bad.

I am btw on a vive pro with vive controllers, if anyone wants that knowledge.

this game is BY FAR my favorite VR game of all time, it has an amazing atmosphere despite the outdated graphics, at the beginning, you are paralyzed by fear of the enemies talking, the voicelines gave me chills countless times my first playthrough. and the end game provides a well rounded game loop and mods create many endless possibilities for more playthroughs.
10/10 game by far my favorite vr game

vr is a let down to tell you the truth, this game is one of a few i'd say would save vr. unfortunately it isn't a long game, i completed it after 40 hours while taking as much time as possible. looking forward to the second radius if it ever gets finished.

I will go to the ends of the earth to eradicate every spawn ever created both physically and as a concept, my hate for them is beyond human comprehension. (also the game is really good and you should play it, like right now, buy it play it immediately.)

One of, if not the best VR experiences out there. From the gun-play to the atmosphere to the enemies themselves this game is a masterpiece. I have put in over 100 hours and have enjoyed every second of it. If you like survival shooters I would recommend this game.

Very Subnautica-esque in that you have no idea how the world around you works and in turn is cripplingly terrifying.

funny how this game works for me but into the radius 2 does not even what to start.

Great game holds up well love the selection of Guns you can play with as well as the detail the reloading of mags can get a bit tedious late game especially if your a crap shot like me lol

this game is great for anyone who enjoyed stalker or metro and is looking for a vr experience
on top of that this is a great game for anyone who just got a headset and is trying to get in to vr games for the first time this was my 3rd vr game and i love it playing almost 20 hours in the first 4 days of owning the game and im still trying to 100% the game so that i can go and play the second one happy knowing that i did everything that the game had to offer

i highly recommend this game to anyone with a headset and rave about it so much to people that dont have one that they honestly get annoyed of me

10 out of 10 in my opinion
yes it has its bugs but they are really harmless to the point that they very rarely effect gameplay and the game already knows how to fix them (im mainly talking about the unstuck button) but other than that theres very little to complain about this game

very good game. the shooting feels really good and the sound effects are amazing. best part of the game is the bolt action rifle. would highly recommend

This game has given me the most amount of heart attacks and also fun I have ever had in a VR game. It is fairly scary in the beginning hours when you aren't used to the enemies but I don't think that should stop someone from buying this game. Once you get into it the game has very addicting and rewarding combat and scavenging along with top tier immersion. CM Games really outdid themselves with this masterpiece of a game.

See you in the Radius explorers!

Game provides an accurate representation of how you would react if you were stuck in a post apocalyptic survival situation
(You're a weak man who cant aim when scared)

Such a great game

This is one of if not the best vr game ive ever played. The guns the ambience all of it is so amzingly done i couldnt recommend it more

game was fun until i died and my save file refused to load i was on normal without ironman mode on

Wow that was clunky. I do not understand all the positive reviews:
- enemies aren't scary, they are just the blobs
- graphics is very bad and art design is bland for the plot
- controls are very clunky and non-responsive
- lags more than Half-Life Alyx on max settings and if you lower the graphics, text becomes unreadable

If this were my first VR game, I would have probably never touched VR ever again

The game's graphics are good but the game play is lackluster, confusing, and boring

Yet to be a better vr shooter with top notch gameplay loop. Only downside is how few the main missions are.

This game is my favourite VR experience. It's story is not the best, and the gameplay on it's service is quite simple, go in, kill some entities or get some item. But the way you have to prepare and plan the missions is the invisible main element of the gameplay. You can't just run in guns blazing. You will run out of ammo and be killed. It has a very slow pace to it and reminds me of the Call of Chernobyl Mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Furthermore it has the best gunplay and inventory management I have ever experienced. You don't click through menues. Everything is done with your motion controllers and body movement. Therefore every item physically exists in the world at all times, unike in older VR Games, where items in you inventory disappear. This leads to beeing immersed into the game.
This game is a must have for everyone who likes VR shooters.

Holy crap, this is one of the best damn games I've played in a long time. My only wish is that I could experience this with a friend, which is why I'm going to happily purchase the sequel one day.

Though, I will admit, the only downside was how underwhelming the ending was, but, hey, no game can be perfect.

But, for a VR Stalker-like, this game easily gets a 9.9 out of 10, would raise a shot of vodka for the devs.

Ive played many vr shooters and this is one of the greater ones with its simplistic but realistic firearm mechanics. It is also one of the most terrifying ones. My first death came from walking through the zone at night getting shot from some random outpost running to cover just to have another shooter a couple of headcrabs and some invisible boys find me. Followed by me running for my life just to hear a loud roar of something and falling into a crater and dying to fall damage. 10/10 experience after a change of underwear.

I was eating pineapples with a knife and got jumped by a headcrab who then swiftly died to that same knife. 10/10 best VR extraction shooter.

I absolutely love this game, I'm playing it with my valve index and it's the perfect amount of killing stuff and looting places that I love. the gun management is nice, weapon cleaning is a bit glitchy but once you understand how it works it's okay, the anomalies to find ads variety to the gameplay, I love it it's amazing.

Wow. I haven’t played games for several years, but then my son got a VR and I decided to try this game. The ones of you who remember the brick pile under your seat when a head crab first time jumped into your face in half life – will get the same forgotten feelings of being into the game. My son is now asking me to play every evening. Because I occupied his PC.

As for the game details – it’s all about the atmosphere, mechanics, and role play, despite it becomes predictable. I’m literally diving into this world. “Ooof!”, “Whoa!”, “Shi..”, “OH SHI..!!” – this reflects a small part of emotions in the game :)

The other tech details have been already described I guess.

Respect to developers, despite there are something to work on, it’s a small studio with limited recourses.

Kindly regards,
Ilya, 40 y.o. boy.

realistic gun experience, and as advertised it puts you in the radius.

A real Roadside Picnic.
10/10
Would drop my mag and click my guns in front of sliders some more. :)

I do not play vr game made for vr as they mostly suck. But this one got me. . . Although the missions can get a bit. .. or a lot redundant, except for the main missions that is, there was great attention to detail when it came to the weapons system. They are so accurate and even the single rounds you can handle and find and load. . . that is where this game shines. So much so that I sometimes find myself breaking out my own personal gun collection and putting them next to me as I play lol. All in all, I have been loving this game. Probably one of the best games I've seen that is made specifically for vr.

graphics not as great but game is flawless

bought the supporter pack because this game is awesome and its the coolest VR atmosphere i've ever put myself into, great game.

I don't get to play as much VR as I would like, but this is very fun for the time I get to play.
Into The Radius is a unique game in the VR market of games. Usually I'm very skeptical with new games, mostly as that VR games often times end up being very mid. This one in particular is a fun single player extraction shooter that is focused on a PvE gameplay. It has horror elements that really keeps you on edge and provides for an insane amount of hours of gameplay.

I can't make an opinion on replay-ability, I've yet to get security rank 2 because I've been playing it pretty slow. I've played this slow as that horror isn't something I typically play, thus it's especially scary while in VR! The sounds get me alert when I think I feel safe. Sometimes I get schizoid enough that I think my own footsteps are from baddies.

Overall, great game and I recommend others to play it as well. When I get done with this game, I hope to see some more VR games that are as good of quality and loved as this one is.

Not that detailed world as in Half-Life: Alyx, but this game is a lot better in many different ways. Love it. can't wait to finish this one and check out ITR2

A very good horror vr game, the gameplay and realism is really good and the 1.0 version is also very good, but buggy.

This is THE MOST immersive VR game you can play. I found myself hitting the floor because I was getting shot at, shaking while reloading trying to kill a spider. and lost in the absolute beauty of this game. PLEASE try this game, you won't regret it.

Opening cupboards can be finnicky.
Not starting with the headlamp unlocked was a bad choice by the devs. It's not fun constantly equipping and unequipping a torch whilst pilfering dark rooms. You can rush the unlock though.
The difficulty spike on the Factory map is insane. I was playing on realistic and ended up trapped behind a set of dumpsters multiple times, stuck. It was a skill issue, but, again, the jump is crazy.

Dumbed down STALKER, but that's fine because it's in VR, so it's a whole new experience.

Even with my specs this game is horribly optimised, that also includes jumping through 7-8 optimisation hoops.

Ignore this game completely & just enjoy fully modded S.T.A.L.K.E.R instead. Has to be a definite memory leak in this game.

Into the Radius: One of the Best VR Experiences Ever

Into the Radius is absolute madness—in the best possible way. This game takes you deep into a mysterious and eerie world where every step feels like both a challenge and a discovery. The story is cryptic and immersive, constantly feeding you small fragments of lore that leave plenty of room for interpretation. You won’t get all the answers, especially at the end, but that’s part of the beauty. The best story pieces are hidden within the world itself, rewarding those who take the time to explore.

And then there’s the gameplay—especially the gunplay. Superb. This is one of the most high-quality VR shooters out there, with realistic mechanics that make every weapon feel incredibly satisfying to use. Reloading, maintaining your gear, and carefully handling every situation are all part of the experience.

Now, I don’t even play horror games, so jumping into Into the Radius was a real challenge for me at first. But it was worth it. This game doesn’t just teach you how to play—it teaches you how to be a true survival explorer, how to stay calm under pressure, and how to conquer your fears. The enemies? Terrifying. But the worst part isn’t what you see—it’s what you hear. The sounds they make mess with your head, pushing your sanity to the limit. That tension, the fight-or-flight instinct kicking in, is what makes this game so incredible. Surprisingly, there are very few jump scares, since most enemies are loud enough that you’ll hear them coming. But sometimes when you do turn around and something’s just there… well, let’s just say it gets your heart racing.

Another thing this game excels at is forcing you to stay calm under pressure. Mid-fight, your magazine runs empty. Enemies are charging. You have seconds to reload. At first, it’s panic-inducing. By the end, you’re reloading with the precision of a Navy SEAL, and damn, does it feel good.

And let’s talk about clearing dark, abandoned buildings full of nightmare-inducing creatures, armed with just a flashlight and your rifle. Sounds terrifying, right? Well, it is, at least in the beginning. You get used to it. It’s so much fun—the kind of fun that makes you wish Ready or Not had a VR version.

The game helps you grow, easing you into its mechanics at a steady pace. The tutorial is good, the difficulty curve is well-balanced, and every step you take builds your survival instincts. Enemies become familiar, the map slowly reveals itself, and exploration is always rewarding.

A Few Spoiler-Free Tips for New Players:

1. Use the shooting range—every weapon is free to test, so get comfortable with them.
2. Check every item you find in the Radius—many are valuable and can earn you extra cash.
3. Don’t judge a gun by its magazine size. Some weapons with smaller mags are actually better than the bigger ones.
4. Some magazines can’t be bought—only found. Keep an eye out for them.
5. Explore and collect every clue—they’re not just lore, they can lead you to valuable finds. Weapons are expensive, but you can often loot them in the Radius if you search carefully.

Into the Radius is easily one of the best VR games ever made. It’s an experience that pushes you, scares you, and ultimately transforms you into a expert survial explorer. If you love immersive VR shooters, you need to play this.

An interesting concept, but the general jank with the controls is just too much for it to be really enjoyable.

Quick list of annoyances because I can't be arsed to make a full review :

- Virtual body rotates, following headset orientation. This means the stuff you want to grab (gun, items in your pouch, map...) will routinely be in random locations, forcing you to visually check where, for instance, your goddamn *hip* is so you can grab your gun. Unreliability for basic controls like this is a massive no-no for any type of game

- Game gaslights you with stealth : meaning it does not actually exist. Armed enemies will spot you from half-way across the map, in total darkness, while you're crouching, unless you're literally behind solid cover (no, bushes and stuff don't count). Meaning as long as there's an unobstructed line of sight, they'll see you, they'll shoot you, and they won't miss unless you keep running

- Items you put in your backpack and pouch will routinely just... move around. Like they sprouted a pair of little legs while you weren't looking to go say hi to their pal on the other side of your backpack. Grabbing stuff from your backpack is already a pain as it is when it starts filling up, but this makes it straight up unbearable

- Saves sometimes just... break. Like I'll die, load the latest autosave, and it'll turn out that it somehow saved AFTER I died, kept my full loadout, and teleported me to a completely random spot on the map. So I'll have to load whatever save was before that one.

- Blink movement doesn't know what to do with slopes most of the time. Meaning you can walk up them just fine with normal movement, but you'll just remain stuck in place if you try to blink up them. Normal movement makes me nauseous so I *have* to rely on blink movement.

The game is extremely fun and has many different mechanics which add to the inmersion. I know comparisons are odious but I can tell they got a lot of inspiration from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise. The game plays exactly as you would expect from a VR Shadow of Chernobyl mod or something.

I must add that I feel like the game is poorly optimized. I have the recommended specs and have to play in medium to low settings to get a decent framerate (which I think is essential in VR), but this is compensated by how good the game is.

There aren't that many really good VR games, but this I believe is one of them.

Privet Stalker! This game is goated with the sauce.

Excellent gunplay, excellent story, and immaculate vibes. Going out at night in this game might be one of the most intense experiences I've had in VR. If you have played STALKER (if you haven't , please go play it) then you are going to feel right at home here. Artifact hunting, camp raiding, stash management, and limited resources. It is the whole package, and it does it very well.

This game is absolutely amazing, some moments I really felt like I was there. I will not spoil anything but some monsters scared the crap outta me when I first met them.

At times I feel like the loneliest man on earth
and then i shoot a mimic in the head from 200 meters away with my dragunov and I that feeling goes away!

really good game,enjoyed the atmosphere combat is fun and can get pretty intense had a good time its biggest flaw is trying to reach for mags you have to lean forward so you can have enough reach to grab your mags

Truly one of the greatest if not the greatest VR games ever made. Into the radius is everything vr promised to be.

Few games have ever sucked me into the world and immersed me in a game as much as Into the Radius to the point I just forget that I'm in a game at all in a way. Everything has to be done manually from weapon handling to picking up items to loading guns to loading even the bullets into the mags. If you want to attach an attachment to a gun, zoom in your scope, clear a jammed round, you have to do it by hand and you will have to train yourself to do it in the midst of a nerve shredding panic inducing atmosphere.

Into the Radius is just relentlessly unsettling and creepy that it's not surprising so many people simply can't play it all the way but you owe it to yourself if you're a vr enthusiast to experience this game. Just power through it, once you learn it's tricks it's not so unsettling. I'm a life long horror junky and not a lot gets to me but the first time I got stuck in the radius at night, THAT god to me. By the late game i was specifically going out at night to avoid being seen by enemies and it was just another day in the radius.

This is a full blown incredibly ambitious and fully realized game like so few vr games can be. Don't think about it. BUY IT.

I was actually really disappointed with this one.

The controls are frustrating, the places where you store things on your body are hard to reach correctly, general mechanics of the game are clunky and very first gen VR. The backpack is AMAZING though! I absolutely loved the backpack storage, I seriously wish more games would do this. But honestly, the backpack was the only good thing I can say about it.

I know the game is pushing 5 years old, but it really feels older than that. Just, disappointed.

this game is utterly breathtaking it feels like your really there with the amount of things you can interact with that a lot of other vr games don't the fact that you get to use a guitar and make music is insane i've never seen a vr game let you do that I HIGHLY recommend this game
