    I liked the first Medal of Honor in PS1 and loved Medal of Honor Frontline on PS2 (it was the best). However this game is a love-hate. I think they tried to do such a big game that they failed. It feels like unfinished, may be if it was been less ambitous and more cared it would have been a superb game.
    Regarding to shooter games, i think Half Life Alyx is still by far the best VR game    I liked the first Medal of Honor in PS1 and loved Medal of Honor Frontline on PS2 (it was the best).

    Regarding to shooter games, i think Half Life Alyx is still by far the best VR game and Vertigo the second.

    PROS: Wonderful and detailed enviroments + Very satisfactory use of the weapons + Long and much varied game + Great music that fits in the adventure

    CONS: Too many scenes where you only stand up and see + Climbing is failed + Weaponry managed is confussing + Something is wrong with the height (i'm very short and it doesn't happen to me in other any game) + Sniper mode gets black screen and it doesn't have zoom (so you see the enemy at the same distance as the eye) + Pick up things are failed and some things are getable but not others + Hands go through walls and things + Etc...    … Expand

    So terribly disappointing. The game could do so much better, but it's laggy, buggy and very repetitive. You basically shoot, run, shoot run, collect something, shoot run. I finished it, but it does not deserve anything above 5. The graphics are very mediocre, a lot of weird faces. Overall, it looks very amatour.

    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]
