    Everything is ok, but the control is a bit backward. Also game probably not 100% finished yet, sometimes hard to find a partner online

    Mid game doesn’t make me wanna come back and play anytime as of writing this review, now if it receives updates and feels more polished and complete vs less demo like then I will update my review. But as of now I’m giving this game a solid 6 out of 10. Please Sony you guys have so much potential with the PSVR2 use it to the full extent, I love VR gaming but this isn’t it.

    I'm in disbelief that there isn't true manual reloading, you can't actually THROW grenades, and you can't physically press buttons/interact with the environment. I have no idea why these decisions were made--- don't waste your money.

    Disappointing launch and start to a live service gane (shocjer I know) but holds a lot if promise. This xould ve a 9 ine day but fir now its varely a 7. I hope they listen to the community and overhaul sone stuff. Otherwise when we get more shooters abd tactical games. *cough* breachers *cough* it'll be eaten alive.

    UPDATE SEPT 6th: With the patch from today squad-match making seems to be fixed! We were able to play as a squad for the first time without any trouble (3 players, didn't try 4 yet) and had a blast. The squad was still torn into two teams toward the end.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW: Very broken game that has been released while it should have been in a early beta instead. A lot of potential, but so broken and riddled with bugs that it's frustrating to play right now and should not yet be picked up, especially not if you intend to play with a group of friends. A tactical shooter with a built-in wall-hack as a feature, hyper speed running, a button to disable recoil, and all of this is only applicable if you can get into a match at all, which often takes several hours.

    Developer has promised to fix some/most of this, hence my promise that i will update the rating as the game progresses. The developer (FCE) did a lot of patching on their previous games, so there is an expectation that it improves. Until then, points for fantastic graphics but otherwise utterly disappointing bag of bugs.    … Expand

    - The AI is way to strong. - Some Maps are way to hard.
    - The Game crashed at least 3 Times already.
    + The Graphics are amazing for VR.
    + The Gameplay is really fun.
    + If you have Team the Teamwork is Fun. If this Game get's some Patches it would be a 8/10 for me. At the Moment: 6/10

    Firewall: ultra is not an exceptional game like the first version and the most important game of the platform it was released on. But it’s definitely entertaining and fun (especially with friends) and you can spend a lot of time in it.

    Could be one of PSVR2s best shooters, but is held back by some baffling design decisions.

    An online team-based shooter that completely overlooks the potential of VR. Firewall Ultra provides a somewhat shallow experience, with matchmaking times often exceeding the actual gameplay, and meager rewards. Despite the relatively limited library of PS VR2, there are better titles available.
