From graphics to gameplay, Firewall Ultra sets an entirely new standard for what a modern shooter can be.

For example, one is called Frank, who's origin story is working in his father's Italian eatery, but then becoming a desperate Youtuber that setback Italian Americans decades by perpetuating played out "goombah" stereotypes. He then goes on to alienate himself from the larger VR community by spamming reddit with his mediocre guido vr content to the point where they had no choice but to ban him. This did not deter him though, he just created a bunch of alt accounts and continued spamming away.
    Once you reach level 20 Frank then gets a job as community manager at FCE, but does not disclose his dicey past to his future employer. If you disclose this in the game then your rank is reset and you must go back to making pizzas again, very painful!

    It gets even stranger at level 25 when Frank gets banned from an official FCE reddit AMA on his alt account. In order to reach level 30 you have to ban anybody who is critical of the host of problems that a typical FCE game has, from all FCE official social media outlets. You also need to harass anybody who is critical of you online.

    Once you get above level 30 the progression system gets quite repetitive and you are mostly just leaving over 100 fake reviews on Metacritic to try and sell a broken game to people who will not be able to ever get a refund.

    Once again, I am a little perplexed by the storyline and progression system of this game and can't say that I can recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
