Great game, but pretty short. Really love Fireproof games. On sale $0.78 at time of purchase.
~4 hours for 100%, but mostly included finding secrets. Actual campaign was ~1.25 hours for all stars
~those complaining about motion sickness, there's a "show background dome mode", not sure if it helps.
Had trouble launching. Got "not responding" every time launching from desktop Steam, or Steam VR home. Had to launch from Library instead of home in Steam VR.
Runs well

Critique:
-low turning sensitivity, some sort of snap 180 button would be nice for enemies and missing targets, or an upgrade for quicker turning
-would prefer a longer range for the secret detection beeps, and a more distinct sound for the boost depletion as I mixed them up often.
-only 4 types of puzzles for the secrets, would've expected more because of the room series.
-lock-on required for shotgun and rockets, would like to have long range without confirmed accuracy.
-small map
Overall 8/10. (10/10 for the price, and getting harder to find games for Rift S) love the design and layout, but map size could've been resolved by unlocking different islands instead of different map sections
Omega Agent is basically a tech demo kind of game, it's just there to showcase what VR can do when done wrong. The idea is compelling, a 1960's era James Bond ripoff with a jetpack, you do some micromissions like fly through rings and occasionally shoot stuff, all the while holding in your urge to puke because the developers never saw or used VR before so they didn't do the motion tracking and movement stuff right, but hey, who said you need to know anything about video games before you make and sell one? Steam Direct, thanks so bloody much.
So yeah there's no reason anyone should buy this, and plenty of reasons not to, so let's go through some of those now.
The game is very simplistic, small and limited in scope and ambition. This feels more like a tech demo, proof of concept or student homework assignment rather than a fully fledged product designed for PC gamers. As such it doesn't offer any real value as a serious PC game.
On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers.
The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the mid 2000s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with.
This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
Omega Agent is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
