Anyone else playing this?

It's fantastic, but I am a bit of a metro fan. A very creepy atmospheric game.

Got it last night (for PCVR) and have played the opening part of it. First impressions are very good - looks to be a good mix of action/setpieces and story. Definitely seems to capture the spirit of the 'Metro' part of the Metro games, looking forward to getting into it more this evening.

A bit strange to get an almost AAA VR game (strong AA quality I would say) out of the blue but I'll take it! There are not enough VR games of this level of detail and quality around.

I would totally agree with the point about the lack of really high quality VR games. Which is why I bought this at full price, which is very unusual for me.

Hoping into the Radius 2 and ConVRgence mature well.

Yes, I hoped that PSVR2 would encourage more higher end VR games in general (so, benefiting PCVR too) but it seems to have failed to match up to the relative success that PSVR1 had. So worth supporting a more expensive game at launch if it's decent.

The golden days were early on when Oculus was supporting PCVR - some really top notch PCVR titles from that era before everyone started to target Quest2 and PSVR1 (which is understandable as that was where the market was). When you see what can be done by a dedicated developer out to make the best they can - eg HL:Alyx - it's a real shame that we don't have many other titles of the same level.

I absolutely loved Lone Echo. Surprised Meta have not released it on Steam. I'll buy the sequel when it is reduced.

Came here for British Leyland content, was disappointed.
