    PROS: Great enviroments + Very realist (it makes you feel you are in a kayak) + Great kayak's movement with oars + A different experience and it works very well

    CONS: Could cause feel sick sometimes + Gameplay a bit repetitive + Machine gun is useless

    And that's just a short review, not all parts of the game, and it's just a summary.
    Creative gameplay is the result of this masterpiece.
    The game's remarkable action + visual appeal makes this title a masterpiece.

    This is one of the most immersive vr games that I have played. I wasn't sure about being in the kayak, but its one of the best quest games with great graphics and lots of tension, and it is easy to forget you are in a vr headset and lose yourself in the world.

    While it seems strange at first, Phantom: Covert Ops has been one of my best experiences with VR to date. Despite playing the entire game from within a kayak and a formulaic narrative, the meat of the game comes from its impeccable mechanics and immersion. Phantom: Covert Ops uses realistic water physics for its locomotion in a way that lets the player avoid any feeling of nausea or discomfort. The layout of your gear is convenient and easy, and the control scheme takes minutes to master. It’s an exciting experience that puts you in the shoes of a special agent and you feel empowered while playing. For fans of stealth games who are just getting into VR this is an essential experience, and one that sets the bar for stealth in VR.

    In a medium that so desperately craves additional content, Phantom: Covert Ops isn't a bad purchase for VR owners who are hungry for more games, but it's by no means a banner release for 2020. With games like Boneworks, Half-Life: Alyx, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners this year, the bar for VR games has risen exponentially. There's an exhilarating VR experience struggling to break the surface of this title. Phantom is holding itself back from breaking loose and taking the excitement to the next level. Hopefully nDreams has enough success with this game to carry its vision into a sequel.

    Hardcore VR players have already likely flocked to Covert Ops: it's the next big thing from Oculus Studios, of course they're looking for an excuse to get some use out of their headset. But for everyone else, it's definitely one to keep on a list somewhere for when you eventually pick up a Rift or a Quest.
