    First Contact has hit it out of the park this time with Ultra. The new dedicated servers make finding a match really easy and fun. The weapon reloads and cool knife animations are really well done. It is basically the counterstrike of VR. The accuracy is a high point of the game as it feels where i point and shoot is where it actually goes. This is by far my favorite VR team based shooter.First Contact has hit it out of the park this time with Ultra. The new dedicated servers make finding a match really easy and fun.

    This feels like the first next gen VR game ever created. The visuals are next level and the gameplay is extraordinary using hardware features like the eye tracking as part of the design. A few rough edges at launch but that’s to be expected. My review focuses on the game long term and with bugs fixed as this developer seems to listen to the community and improve their games constantly.This feels like the first next gen VR game ever created.

My review focuses on the game long term and with bugs fixed as this developer seems to listen to the community and improve their games constantly. This is a true sequel not only in the universe of the IP but also with the latest tech. These guys are not scared to push the boundaries and do so in a way most vr devs don’t do. Finally a game that breaks to mold of what a VR game “has to be” and the injects it with real gameplay and progression. This is not a simulation, it’s a game! Very impressed and can’t wait to see how it improves and grows over time. Must have PSVR2 game!… Expand

    The new gold standard for PSVR2 games. This was made from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 and you can absolutely tell the benefits that brings. Visually it has no peers and the modes + gunplay are amazing. Great community too!

    Just a pure game with an excellent interface and gameplay. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to play VR FPS. Has almost like a halo 3 feel. Playing this made me miss what that was and thankfully this game brought it back for me. So happy to have come across this.

    Firewall: Ultra has exceeded all of my expectations. The eye tracking, the 4K resolution, and the gameplay is awesome. Any little flaws will be patched over in due time. 10/10

    Una y gran evolución de Firewall y un gran juego para las PSVR2. Todo el Gameplay se siente muy natural a excepción de la recarga de las armas que se hacen de forma automática y ayuda muchísimo a la jugabilidad. La calidad gráfica aumento considerablemente.

    What a gem of a game. The graphics are by far the best of any VR game i've played. The gameplay is so fun and tense, and really brings people together. I'm meeting and talking to so many fun teammates.

    They absolutely crushed it on this game. The most polished game I've ever played in VR. The graphics, gunplay and multi player is amazing. Eye tracking is also next level. I'm looking forward to manual reload which the devs said is coming in a later release.

    Firewall Ultra has raised the bar for VR FPS once again. The gameplay, graphics and eye tracking are unlike anything else in VR today. The game was built on Unreal 5 and is right on the cutting edge of what can be accomplished. An absolute must have for any VR enthusiast - -its the future of gaming.

    The future of FPS gaming is here. Firewall Ultra is astonishing! 10 out of 10 for sure. The eye tracking is absolutely insane and makes me wonder where the tech is going to go in the next few years. If you have a psvr2 you need this game!!

    A VR masterpiece! Firewall Ultra's action is adrenaline-pumping and relentless! Been playing with my buddies. If you get a squad to play with, you have 10 times more fun. Have you and all your VR playing friends snag a copy of this today! 10 out of 10. Can’t wait for what’s to come.

    Absolutely loving Firewall: Ultra!! I’d say the game is very “VR Beginner” friendly, as it’s my first time really diving into VR after purchasing the PSVR2 and I’m having a seamless transition into playing the game/ using the headset and a very fun time immersing myself into the world!! Takes a while to progress in the game but I’ll be spending much more time playing it!! Super fun

    Such an amazing game. Don’t know why there are so many negative reviews. The game is solid and just launched and I’m confused why so many people are being so harsh on it. ZERO’s!?? This game is far from a ZERO. It’s really great and it’s clear the devs took a lot of time on this. Also love the new PSVR2 that I got! Can’t wait to see the other games that release for this new headset! 10Such an amazing game. Don’t know why there are so many negative reviews.

    Loving every bit of firewall ultra!! I bought the new psvr2 because I heard from my friend about this game being epic and we’ve both been grinding hard since the release. Convinced a couple more buddies to buy a bundle too because it’s so epic!! Not as fun playing by yourself so go get some friends to play with!!!

    This game is amazing. Eye tracking is incredible. All the new features make this game so much more immersive than anything else out there. I think the devs really listened to all the OG players and gave us what we wanted. Squad up!!

    This is the best VR game out there. They really push the PSVR2 to the limits. Eye tracking is used when throwing grenades and it is very intuitive. The weapons feel so great with the way the whole gun vibrates. You can really feel the resistance on the trigger. The game has a lot of cool touches, like how you look away or close your eyes to avoid flashbangs.

    The action was intense and strategic. This is not a game where you run around guns blazing. Teamwork really helps a lot. I love the tactile nature of it.

    This game is fantastic. Great mechanics and aesthetics; the developer(s) successfully created a unique style that fully immerses you into the game. This is what next-gen gameplay is supposed to be like! Great work 10/10.

    Firewall Ultra is a 10. The game's attention to detail is astounding, whether it's the meticulously crafted landscapes, intricate character designs, or the dynamic weather effects that make you feel like you're truly within the game. The gameplay mechanics seamlessly merge with the VR environment, creating a sense of presence and immersion. My squad is yet to lose a match in this game.

    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.
