    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!!!

    I’m recommending this game to all of my friends because it is an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! My twin brother and I got this for our birthday and we can’t stop playing. Our neighbor just picked a copy up along with the new PSVR2 and it’s way better with friends. LOVE IT! 10 out of 10.

    If you liked firewall zero hour then you will LOVE firewall ultra! It is an ultra fun, ultra epic, and ultra cool revamp on the PSVR cult classic. A new classic on the PSVR2!! They should do a bundle similar to Zero hour for the new Headset. I’d tell all my friends to buy. 10/10

    Super fun VR game with some cool new VR tech implemented into it!! Very beginner friendly with amazing graphics and epic progression system. I love the feel of the new PSVR2 as well on my head and eyes. It is cool to watch VR evolve in such an epic way!! Can’t wait for future expansions and game updates!! Only up from here! 10/10

    Super epic VR shooter. I loved firewall zero hour and I was very happy with what they did with ultra! This game is graphically brilliant and super fun to play with friends. PvE works a little more smooth than PvP right now but both are very fun!! Go grab a copy today!!!

    Love this game. Great to play with friends. If you don’t like beginner friendly VR then maybe it’s not for you but I like what they have done here with the controls. My 8 year old brother can play with ease and he loves it. Thanks FCE and thanks Sony!!

    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.

    I am having so much with this game and I would of given it a 10 if the matchmaking was working properly. PvE is epic. PvP is epic with strangers. Just can’t play pvP with friends until the patch.

    I recently had more time to play and I am excited to see where future updates take this game so far the game play is very fun and tactical it feels like a fresh new take on the old Firewall! and it feels like a Rainbow Six in VR!

    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

    Firewall Ultra for the PS5 is nothing short of a revolution in the world of tactical shooters. As a fervent fan of the franchise, I was eagerly anticipating this release, and let me tell you, it surpassed every one of my expectations. From graphics to gameplay, Firewall Ultra sets an entirely new standard for what a modern shooter can be.

    VR on the PS5 and a first person shooter go hand and hand. This game in vr provides gamers a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to many future updates. The environments are detailed and well designed creating a realistic setting for intense firefights. The characters are well rendered with smooth animations that enhance the overall visual experience. I recommend this game to allVR on the PS5 and a first person shooter go hand and hand.

    Game is fun. Immersive feel. Great concept. One thing I would recommend is that they change how you have to hold l1 to aim down sights would rather bring the gun up to your face.

    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

    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.

    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.
