    It's amazing! The bugs people say are in the game have now been patched and it brings me so much joy watching the death animations that I just use no stealth and kill everything! The immersion is amazing and multiple times I find myself lying **** up on the floor to avoid being speed straight away by the enemies. 10/10 Just buy it already!

    Nice game for VR beginners. Cool environment, but sometimes it is hard to find a solution for puzzles, however there is no really hard puzzles.

    I can't recommend this game due to it being the most bug ridden frustrating thing I've played in several years. Literally half of my time playing this game was spent trying to find work arounds for all kinds of bugs in the game design. Here is a short list of some of them.

Literally half of my time playing this game was spent trying to find work arounds for all kinds of bugs in the game design. Here is a short list of some of them.
    Crashes: 1 full crash during gameplay, 3 game hangups during loading areas.(these specifically could be compatibility or issues on my end to be fair)

    2 cases of critical items being deleted from inventory. One of these happened right before my eyes as items just disappeared from existence. This was during an area with 4 guards, and I was left with no weapons. I'll just restart right and try that part again? Wrong. This game is not clear at all where a lot of the check points or save points are. This one happened to land while I was in the open, with a guard pointing his gun at me, oh yeah and it saved my inventory as still not having any of those items. Ahem. I was upset.

    2 cases of locked doors not opening when they should. This is the definition of game breaking
    4 cases of codes not being sent, being sent incomplete (only 3 instead of 4 numbers), or seeing the updated code only for a moment before it returns to the previous code (hope you memorized it in the 1 second you had before it disappeared.)

    Now I did beat the game eventually. But if you google some of these issues you'll see they are not uncommon. Parts of this game are good, great even. But the reality of never knowing if something isn't working because you did it wrong/are missing something, or because your having a game breaking bug isn't any fun at all.    … Expand

    This game is a very original take on the stealth mystery genre on VR. You can either kill the enemies or avoid them completely. To go through the objectives you'll need to read clues and notes given by your "friend", and if you miss something you might start running in circles. Even though it doesn't have recent vr tech like vrik, it does the job. The only mission I hated was the last one.This game is a very original take on the stealth mystery genre on VR.

    Budget Cuts is one of the smartest VR games to come out in recent memory, using a unique teleportation-portal system to let you stealthily zip around the sprawling, robot-filled office space like a knife-wielding Nightcrawler. There's so much to like about Budget Cuts, from it's humorous take on workplace automation to its adrenaline-filled action. It's safe to say Budget Cuts has lived up to its name in this full-length VR stealth game.

    Budget Cuts is a fun VR game that creates an interesting, engaging world that’s worth exploring, but only if Neat Corporations can iron out the bugs that mar an otherwise fun experience.

    Curiously, Budget Cuts is a great VR experience, but an average game. The gameplay is perfectly suited for VR, but you’ll soon discover a repetitive game that quickly runs out of ideas.
