    After the Fall performs well in the gameplay department. The guns feel great, enemies are terrifying and diverse, and the 80s Apocalyptic setting of a frozen Los Angeles feels amazing to play around in. Vertigo Games has innovated on their already successful mechanics from Arizona Sunshine, taking a page from Left 4 Dead, while raising all aspects of production quality. Grinding in After the Fall is fun and worthwhile, and the multiplayer aspect works well in VR.

    After the Fall delivers on its promise of an action shooter game in virtual reality, however, its lack of content rapidly makes the experience repetitive and tedious.

    After the Fall is a 4-player co-op zombie shooter that pits players against the Snowbreed, a unique family of zombies that enjoy residence in post-apocalyptic snow-ridden LA. A glorious 80's setting with plenty of tropes fills the halls of this arcade shooter, begging players to kill more zombies in order to upgrade weapons and trudge through more difficult levels alongside their friends, all in the comfort of your favorite VR headset.

    The simple mission structure, replyability and overall catharsis of After the Fall make it a triumph of VR gaming.

    A confident coop VR zombie shooter that manages to punch well above its weight thanks to a satisfying feel to its mechanics.

    After the Fall works best when four players are working together against hordes of swarming baddies. The shrieks and gun shots are exactly where you want them to be. But the game is held back some by a limited number of levels and some fiddly UI design. Still absolutely worth a look, but with the understanding that some refinements and more content are still on the way.

    After The Fall is yet another zombie VR shooter in the line of zombie VR shooters. The team that was responsible for Arizona Sunshine tries to build upon that with a cooperative experience that succeeds in that regard, but the overall experience isn’t that satisfying. The gun mechanics with the Oculus Quest 2 mostly work great and the PVP is a nice surprise, but the overall lack of current content and annoying bugs hurt the game at launch. The idea of a VR Left 4 Dead would work better if there weren’t already a ton of L4D clones on the market.

Vertigo Games had plenty of practice with the popular Arizona Sunshine and follow up with a stunning co-op, survival shooter. If you've played Left 4 Dead, World War Z, Warhammer Vermintide or any of the other survival shooters you'll be more than familiar with gameplay. There's plenty to do at launch but with more content promised almost immediately it's exciting times to own a VR headset, whatever platform you're on. Expand

I haven't felt like this since I first played left 4 dead. I adore what they have done with this game. They made an old idea fresh by making it VR. Expand

I have seen people say itsEven though you need a decent PC for this game, it is really good game! So much fun and thrill at the same time. I have seen people say its Left 4 Dead 2 but in VR. From a guy who has played L4D2 for years honestly that comparison is inaccurate considering you can't play as zombies as far as i can tell in this game (what i think is Left 4 dead/2 biggest differenciator) This game with its guns and general vibe for me feels way more like Killing floor 2. Obviously it's still a great game and especially at any sale, pick it up! Its tons of fun especially with your 3 other friends! Expand

I have a feeling after about 50 hrs of play it'll become very boring to keep running the same maps with the same weapons over and over.

    On the bright side, Vertigo Games has confirmed that they are going to provide more content down the line which will keep this game fresh and entertaining for many more hours!

    A poor man's Left 4 dead, but with zero creativity.
