Weapons lack the punch you’d expect from Doom, with even the famed shotgun feeling anemic. Guns are a big one, for multiple reasons. That said, there are so many other missteps that sandbag Doom VFR. Here, you simply teleport inside an enemy (id calls it “telefragging”), exploding them in a pile of gibs. There, a weakened enemy could be punched to death to increase ammo and health drops. Plus, it allows for the return of Doom 2016’s Glory Kill system. But it’s a decent solution for Doom VFR’s speed. You’d better get good at thumb placement. The system’s not perfect-for instance, holding down an edge still results in a dash, not the teleport you’d expect. Tap one of the edges and you’ll do a short dash in any direction. Hold down the center of the left-hand pad, you’ll teleport wherever you aim, be it up, down, or on the same level. The Vive wands don’t have analog sticks though, and thus aren’t well-equipped for smooth movement either.ĭoom VFR ’s hybrid system then combines the two. Given that it’s a fast-paced (the fastest paced) shooter, pure teleportation would feel sluggish. Doom VFR uses a pretty unique system that I actually kind-of enjoyed. Which I guess brings us to the most important part of this review: Controls.
Doom vfr metacritic how to#
I came across a few computers that seemed like they had supplemental text files and audio logs I should be able to listen to, but if that is possible I couldn’t figure out how to activate them. Doom VFR is weirdly empty apart from his ramblings. It was basically just set-up for whatever arena came next, many of which are tied to locations reused from the original game (like Samuel’s office). I quickly found myself just tuning this player-narrator out, because none of what he had to say was very interesting. “The last actuator is embedded in that Cyberdemon” is almost word-for-word a line from Doom VFR, uttered with almost zero sense of irony or wink-wink-hey-we-know-this-is-dumb to the audience. That in mind, your character here isn’t given much to work with. Last year’s Doom included more lore for those who wanted to really “get” it, but suffice it to say you didn’t miss much. None of it’s very interesting or important either, in part because.well, Doom’s story isn’t very interesting or important. Given the in media res opening of Doom’s 2016 flat-screen version, and the merciful silence of the player character, it was more than a bit distracting to hear the world’s blandest everyman voice come out of my “mouth” here. I was immediately taken aback by the fact that my character speaks though.
