    This game is one of a kind and does the VR shooter genre massive justice.

    Combat is fluid and the VR experience is amazing. Downsides, there are a few. - There is only one game mode. ONLY ONE. The game mode is a 4v4 hack or defend the laptop with no re-spawns. It reminds me a lot of rainbow six siege which is another great game. However it slows down the game so much and    This game is one of a kind and does the VR shooter genre massive justice.

    - There is only one game mode. ONLY ONE. The game mode is a 4v4 hack or defend the laptop with no re-spawns. It reminds me a lot of rainbow six siege which is another great game. However it slows down the game so much and considering it takes about 4-5 minutes to start a game it can be over in 2-3 minutes then you have wait again which can be annoying.

    If this game had a simple team death match tacked on, 10 minutes with respawns, I could see myself giving this game an 8/10 instead of a 7. Due to this fact I cannot give it any higher because I believe it was such a poor decision to only include one game type and quite frankly it isn't even the most popular online shooter game mode.

    The graphics can also be quite hazey too.    … Expand

    The graphics are good, the guns feels right, its a fun game. so let me play it! i dont want to just wait and wait and wait... Why isnt there any rounds? there should be like 3 or 4 rounds that would make this lobby system okay. but one short 2 minute hide and seek and then its back to the main menu again. Feels like im playing a demo and have to restart everytime it completes.

    This game could be so much more if it just wasnt all about standing there and waiting. if there is going to be so much lobby then have a gun range or something in the lobby. no its just a small room where you cant do much at all but wait for the next breath moment of fun...    … Expand

    Gameplay is fun when it works. Would have given it a 9 out of 10 but with the latest 1.02 patch it has become unplayable. Constantly getting dropped out of matches and lobbies. Spend 20 minutes just trying to get in a game.

    This game has potential to be really great. There’s currently some issues with game hosts dropping out, not being able to play with friends, and with the aim controller tracking (the gun is higher in game than in real life). If these issues are fixed I think the game would deserve a 8 or 9 rating. I’ll update my review as time goes on. Really fun though!

    Basicaly a mediocre game that vr experience makes it reign due to lack of good aim controller games. Fun to play but be prepared for a lot of technical problems even after patch 1.0.3. Countless disconects and endless waiting.

    Firewall is great but waiting in lobbies for minutes on end is terrible, waiting when you die for a few minutes, again, is not ideal. I love game modes with one life, as it emphasizes playing strategically but why couldn't there be team death match or something faster paced? Gameplay is amazing, very good attention to detail and graphics

    You will see alot of 10/10 users here say that while it is fun, it has plenty of issues but they still rate 10/10 because the issues should be easy to fix. Guess what, its been two years, and actually getting and staying in the game part of this game is still a **** nightmare

    The gameplay is so cool, and with the aim controller it is incredibly satisfying and tactical. So it's a real shame this game has more connection issues than any game i have ever played. I am not exaggerating when I say you will spend the vast majority of your time waiting to start a game. It uses peer to peer connection, so you can guess how well that works, and there is no host migration, which means every couple of matches you will be kicked out to the main menu and have to wait for ages all over again. This is not helped by the long wait times to start, the 5 minute ready up timer, and then the long wai times for it to load the map. I really enjoyed this game but had to give up playing it as it was so frustrating to be kicked out every match, often midway through if the host left. This isnt helped by the fact the dev team are active enough to release endless nw micro transactions, but not active enough to fix all the sever issues and bugs. How interesting. I would say wait until the game is fixed and it will be great, but it has now been 2 years and nothing has changed. The gameplay is so good, the best on psvr, if you have played pavlov its basically a much simpler version, but my good is it frustrating, and the dev team do not care. They are still releasing battle passes, but not fixing the fundamental flaws.    … Expand

    Firewall Zero Hour needs more support from a pretty large community of PSVR owners. It's understandable that it may not be everyone's choice of gameplay. With dozens of small quirky titles and some fully fledged AAA games that don't rely on interpersonal competitiveness, some players may choose to pass on this shooter. It's way too early to tell if the game will take off and garner the praise and community that it arguably deserves. Firewall Zero Hour is a dream for any shooter fan.
