    This isn't a game, this is a slap in the face. It's genuinely staggering how they thought this could compare to HL: Alyx. The gameplay is ho hum and the character models are like plastic dolls, genuinely terrifying a points. The graphics are like something out of 2004 despite the steep requirements.

A diverse cast is rammed down your throat because ofc you're going to be working with the resistance a lot and as well all know in the revised history of WW2 there were literally women on the frontlines all the time.

    If you want something historically accurate or interesting, give this a miss. If you want a good shooter, install Pavlov. If you want a graphically impressive and immersive experience, install Alyx. This game fails to even just be fun like the Walking Dead game at least.

    It comes as no surprise that something like this was shat out by EA. Ignore the paid reviews, just go on youtube and start watching the campaign. It speaks for itself.    … Expand

    My God, how terribly executed. Apparently some devs were invited to learn how to implement basic VR functionalities, oddly making the same mistakes others have learned to evade in 2016. Not even recommendable for VR enthusiasts that currently have nothing to play. Worst thing: $60/€60 for this title is not even just impertinent, it's entirely delusional.

    The Forest Chase mission is the worst in performance. There are only 1 youtuber who showed this mission and presented the same problems. Others only showed missions that flow well in performance.
    Waiting for Respawn and Oculus to fix the $ 60 I spent on an average game. NOTE: I already touched the GameUserSettings.ini file and even setting the settings to 0, the game still has problems in    The Forest Chase mission is the worst in performance.

    It is clear that it is poorly developed.    … Expand

    Quite offended by this game. Devs do realize that there is no reason for pandering in a VR fps game that also supposed to be somewhat historically accurate and (or) authentic? Alphabet people would not be able to afford this game price tag + required hardware price tag considering they should also somehow be interested in both VR and first person shooters? Disgraceful.

    Minority propaganda aside, this is rather underwhelming VR title on its own. It would've been great in like 2016 (maybe would've include less agenda too) but after other more mature VR experience, some of which are indie, this one feels particularly bad. "Victory" every screen 5 minutes? Rather annoying.

    Also, buggy and unoptimized mess sometimes, dead on arrival multiplayer, 150+ gb of storage

    Refund and forget.    … Expand

    Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, if nothing else, represents a symbolic step forward for VR game platforms like the Oculus Quest 2. It’s the closest thing to a AAA title I’ve played on my headset yet. I don’t know if its nearly-50GB file size is warranted given the so-so visuals, but I did have a lot of fun with the Campaign missions. I’ll still wait a while for the multiplayer to work out its kinks, but I can see myself enjoying that eventually, too. All in all, I’m not sure if Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond would do Grandpa proud, but if you own an Oculus Quest 2, it’s a fun experience and worthy of your time.

    Medal of Honor Above and Beyond returns to Oculus Quest II, and the challenge is great on this small autonomous headset. And unfortunately, he doesn’t get it too. The technique is often faulty, with jerky animations of the sets and characters, which can become unpleasant over time. And if we set the graphics settings to the maximum, the game almost starts to row. In addition, the single player campaign, made up of small scenes of a few minutes, offers a false rhythm, with a lot of rather long dialogue, with a French accent in overplayed English, between two sometimes short fights. If some spectacular passages stand out, it is difficult to get excited about its events. A survival mode and a multiplayer mode complete the picture, but the rather stupid AI of the enemies does not make it all essential. It's a shame, because in terms of interaction, it was pretty well done, with pretty cool weapon handling. On recent releases, prefer Resident Evil 4 VR, by far.

    Bland plot (which prevents Above and Beyond from being a truly magnificent experience) and somewhat cartoonish characters did not spike the game’s guns. I was impressed with the scope and details of the environments, and gunplay was awesome because the weapons have a nice kick to them. If only the controls were better… I lost count of the situations when I picked up a wrong object or ended up giving myself an injection instead of throwing a grenade. [02/2021, p.62]
