shooting kids is the best thing about this game

i love this game

Horrible devs

Fun simple to learn and fun to play with friends

fun with a group

game is fun modes are fun the smooth game play and tactics you can use are so real its one of my favs def recommend this game

Its fun and easy to get use to the controls and its enjoyable with friends

my wife pegs me till the room stinks and im loose as a goose... whoops! this isnt r/feminization... oh what a silly mistake

Absolutely incredible game. I've also played a couple hundred hours on the Oculus version of the game. It's great. Yes, it is a little rough around the edges at times, a lot of VR games are. But it is being constantly updated and when you get a good group together, even if they're strangers, it's the most fun VR shooter experience I've ever had.

Also, since a lot of reviews complain about it, yes it was downgraded... However, I don't see that as a massive issue. It does look objectively worse. But it was never a visual masterpiece. It doesn't need to be. Functionally it's great, and I'm glad we have cross platform between ecosystems so the community can come together. It's never hard to get into a game.
Excited to see what future updates bring, happy to be along for the ride.

There is no VR FPS like this right now. You can instantly find games easily for PvP and PvE, there are always enough players online and the community didn't die out like in other VR multiplayer titles.

Yes, the switch of graphics might be a little sad, but choosing to make the game available for the whole VR market is definetly the right choice for a rather niche market, which VR is right now.

yes

Honestly the game has to have be the greatest PVP game on vr,

Fast TTK, Decently realistic weapons, One of the best VRML games to watch

Community isn't much to speak for.

yes

People are probably gonna say to go play Pavlov, well, the community is the exact same and it runs even worse. Sucks that most multiplayer VR games end up getting abandoned or turned to trash.

terrible performance, crashes frequently, and things dont load.

do not buy. play Pavlov or something instead.

fun with moders

Class FPS VR Game it’s very immersive and fun with friends along with various gamemodes (gameplay is way more fun with a soundboard)

Definitely reccomend checking this outmespecially if your just starting PCVR. great game for beginners if your new tryout FREE-ROAM, Shooting Range But I highly reccomend Escort And Uplink, but yeah check it out

I've held off on this review to see where this game would end up in a few years. Now I played all the way back when they added that huge grasslands with hills kind of map which was a Co-Op Map and haven't played since then, so Whats this game like in 2025, It still feels the same it did back in 2019/2020 However the Free Roam and Shootin/Killhouse lobbies are pretty much the same spawn and die, and the community still hasn't changed and the game still remains to play the same its just not fun at all this game has barely improved unlike Pavlov VR which honestly is far better and just feels better to play than onward.

only come to this game if you wanna play with cowards

graphics on standalone are much simpler and on pc vr it's pretty realistic. makes me lag but great game.

The game went from one of my favorite PCVR shooters with a good quality standard to a Quest port that I can't recognize from the original game I bought back in the day. Graphics, audio, map detail and a whole bunch of other stuff is massively downgraded from the game I once enjoyed.

get your slaves to go onward

very fun

This is one of the best vr shooters I have ever played. Elite mode on coop is like a nightmare because of how hard the difficulty.


10/10

crashes all the time

Most realistic feeling VR shooter

I was just telling my friend "The only reason I'd buy a VR headset is to get back into Onward"

Then I checked up on Onward and found it's become a glorified mobile game for the Meta/Facebook/Oculus community.

Rest in pepperoni, Onward.

unplayable over steam vr and quest 3

Perfect example of how not to make a VR shooter, the reloading is awful, the virtual stock is shit.
Gun sounds are great. gameplay shit

gud

Pros:
-Audio Quality
-Gun feel
-Short TTK

Cons
-Limited PVP and PVE game modes
-Ultimately extremely repetitive with little variation
-Subpar graphics
-Clunky healing and revive mechanics

Onward has potential but it feels squandered. Most everyone knows the graphical hit that came with Quest support, and there's been improvements but the game still looks pretty bad and feels weirdly over contrasted on my index, blacks are so black that enemies can blend into objects even in the daytime. It feels incredibly hollow compared to other offerings like Pavlov and Contractors that have a huge host of mod content and game modes, Onward in comparison is really lacking.

Ironically the thing I most hated about Onward (the sacrifice of PC fidelity to bring Quest compatibility) is what led me to buy it to have something cross platform to play with my cousin, but that is the only time I launch the game. I've owned it maybe two years now and have 15hrs while Pavlov has nearly 150.

There's just not much to do. The PVP modes are alright but get old quick, and most often we want to do PVE which is even worse. The PVE modes are different but functionally feel the same. The new mode is more of the same. If you played it once you experienced all it has to offer. I was hoping for a more dynamic experience but ultimately each mission reward offerings is basically the same every time, the first mission you always get a choice of two snipers and a shotgun. It's just so repetitive, and the missions end up being so boring because the difficultly scaling feels all over the place. It's either a cake walk that you spend the entire mission walking around just trying to find where the enemies are or it's all of a sudden challenging and there's no in between.

So most of it you are bored out of your mind until you get to the mission where you suddenly get evaporated, and each mission tends to be so short you spend half the time sitting at the loadout screen. You'll be 3 missions in and have like 4 kills and feel like you've really done nothing but you've completed 3 missions and spent 30 minutes for it. The Mercenary mode was supposed to give different loadouts and varying unique missions, but it ends up feeling the exact same each time.

Audio wise the game is great with the best audio of any VR shooter I've played, the guns feel good needing good control and trigger discipline, I like the short time to kill and high stakes, but the core gameplay loop is just not at all enticing.

Ultimately nothing draws me back to this game. I relaunched it and ran through it again for the sake of this review to see if anything had changed but it hasn't. Outside of my cousin wanting to play I never launch it, and it's a shame because I love the short time to kill, the audio, and the gun feel, but there's just nothing fun to do with it. None of the PVP or PVE game modes feel enticing they just feel so boring and repetitive.

I came back and played maybe an hour and just felt like I had wasted an hour because it was the exact same as every other time I played it. The PVE modes are just boring and lackluster and need a significant rework, and I didn't even bother with PVP because it's pretty well the same story there.

its ok, I didnt like the resolution/graphics.

the best game

Absolute blast, the feel of guns is superb. I didnt play teh previous "better" version. I am sad for that but as newcomer this game is ton of fun.

Honestly one of the best vr games. Simple, effective and fun gameplay especially with friends

I love this game so much. The graphics are great as well as physics. Definitley recomend.

Its a good game, however, there are no good game modes to play and the community is slightly toxic.
It is an early access game so I can't expect much, but for 15 Euros I would prefer Pavlov instead of this game.

not that great, outdated, and I dont think ever updated
had so much potential, I remember I think this had like Esports stuff with it
then suddenly everyone dropped it, and apparently the creators too

crashes when yu enter and makes it so steam vr does not work so you have to restart your pc WASTE OF MONEY

the 1.8 update was like slitting the throat of an already dying man

good game very good game good game buy

hopefully your teammates don't have 3 braincells rubbing together.

Greate shooter for vr in my opinion. cant say its better then pavlov.

Fun if you know what you're doing.

guns fun

when you dont get crossmapped at the beginning of each non-respawnable round by a pussy on a mountainside, its very fun

Really good VR FPS game.

Only problem in my opinion is the maps turning into potato environments because of Quest.
