    I am enjoying it. Pleasant surprise out of the launch titles. It has a solid weight to the gameplay, I like all the different classes too, and how they unlock, but the gameplay feels solid and has a nice, if you get lazy, you will die territory difficulty.

    Light Brigade is a very solid and good Game. You need a bit of time to come in but the Game offers you alot of possibilties. People that like Roguelikes will have a lot of fun in this VR Game. The optimized Version after the first big Patch is really really good. For 25€ a big deal!

    Score: **9/10**

    "Light Brigade" is a game that truly shines in the realm of VR. After spending over 50 hours immersed in its compelling world and conquering the final boss on the highest difficulty level, I can confidently say that this title is well worth your time.

    The game's ambiance stands out, enveloping players in a world that is both thrilling and beautifully rendered. Every class offers its unique advantages, adding depth and diversity to the gameplay experience. The controls are responsive, ensuring an effortless and enjoyable interaction with the virtual world.

    One of the standout features of the game is its replayability. The pursuit of leveling up all the classes keeps you coming back, making every new run feel fresh and challenging.

    However, the game is not without its shortcomings. Despite playing at the highest difficulty, I found that it was too easy to stay covered and use the magic wand to eliminate enemies from a safe distance. I would have appreciated a more aggressive AI that could actively seek to flush me out from cover.

    Another minor issue is with the game's economy. In the daily runs, I often found gold keys with no apparent use. Similarly, after leveling up sufficiently, I ended up accumulating a surplus of coins with no way to spend them. It would be great to see more avenues to utilize these resources in future updates or iterations of the game.

    Despite these minor flaws, "Light Brigade" is an exceptional VR experience that I highly recommend. Its engaging gameplay, unique class system, and impressive ambiance make it a standout title in the PSVR2 lineup.    … Expand

    The Light Brigade is a brilliant shooter that should pique the interest of every VR enthusiast. It’s pretty long, complex, adequately priced, it boasts a great physics system and weapon mechanics. It’s not exactly beautiful, however, and its prolonged loading times can be annoying.

    A solidly constructed VR roguelite that combines guns and magic for some memorable runs, even if its graphics and setting won’t be winning any awards.
