After the Fall - Complete Edition

After the Fall from Vertigo Games is a wonderful jumpstart to the PSVR 2 starting line-up. It has some fun zombie shooting times, great upgrades, and reasons to revisit the game, but falls short in substance in some areas. It is worth your time if you’re looking for a good VR experience.

At the time of launch, I’m incredibly impressed with what Vertigo Games has delivered. I want to spend some time hunting zombie-sicles with my friends to really get a handle on how the game plays with friends, but this already feels like a can’t-miss entry into Sony’s PSVR2 platform.

Despite a disappointing lack of variety that holds it back from achieving shooter greatness, After The Fall: Complete Edition is a welcome addition to the PSVR2’s launch lineup. Offering an exciting blend of punchy, zombie-blasting co-op gunplay that takes full advantage of the strengths of Sony’s new headset and a satisfying progression system, it’s a game no fan of Left 4 Dead should miss.

After the Fall is ultimately a fun co-op shooter with very solid gunplay, penalized along the way by a general lack of variety. Net of a sustained pace, which winks at the classic arcade light gun shooter, the Vertigo Games title can also be enjoyable for the players more sensitive to motion sickness, thanks to the numerous options available for comfort. The polished Complete Edition for PSVR 2 can also benefit from the technical upgrades of the viewer, starting from the exceptional haptic feedback of the Sense controllers which manages to restore an even more visceral feeling to the use of weapons. Having a focus on multiplayer, the lifecycle of the game will largely depend on post-launch support and user traffic on the servers, which we hope thanks to cross play will remain good, at least in the medium term. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to play a Left 4 Dead emulator in virtual reality, After the Fall is simply the right choice.

After the Fall is a solid VR shooter that delivers a thrilling, albeit repetitive, experience. The game's immersive world and satisfying gunplay make for a compelling experience, while the deep progression system and strong focus on co-op keep players coming back for more. However, fans of deep narratives and groundbreaking visuals might want more due to the game's repetitive nature.
