CG writes: We put Solei’s action game into VR using Praydog’s UEVR mod for a really neat third-person Wanted: Dead VR game. What’s great is that it just works with no tweaking required, other than perhaps renaming the OpenVR folder if it fails to inject. The experience is great as a gamepad, third-person action game. Due to the nature of the gameplay, you need to be able to see enemies who sneak up behind you, so the third-person view is perfect for this.

Is this review about the new game update or your controller just not playing nice.
Looked quirky but with a dash of jank. I may play it someday but with so many better games to play not sure I’ll get to it.
Seems the person playing didn't know anything about doing the finishing moves. Press Y+B when they are flashing. Like, that's the entire point of the combat. Idiot.
Overhaul is a strong word.
The police break in level still has the worst checkpoint in the game.
The skill tree is empty, I start the level, die by the hands. Of a broken sub-boss and I spawn again 15 minutes back with my skill tree empty again.
That's the exact same thing happening to me lol. I've reached twice where those greater ninjas are even beyond ridiculous than the white ninjas, doing somersaults all over the place. Got just 2 stimpacks left and die at their speed. And yep, starting again having to fill all my skills with that annoying animation for each. Tried 5 times and said, nope. Ain't still happening with this update.
Yeh but that is kinda close to the end of game isn't it? At which point Agent Stone should be cyberninja extraordinaire.
It's not really the difficulty, it's the length. I wouldn't have gotten to this point without fighting difficult fights but having 25 minutes between checkpoints is wrong for a game like this - and the skill tree should save when filled. Even just filling the skill tree saves me 3 or 4 minutes of menu mashing..
Daniel Kelly says: This is probably the worst game I’ve ever kind of liked. That title used to belong to Deadly Premonition: a game which, despite all of its charm, is awful to play. Wanted: Dead, however, is a game with similar charm but, at times, competent gameplay. If only it were actually good instead.
Loved the story of Deadly Premonition and the quests weren’t too bad because they were tied to the story but the combat and driving were awful. But I thouroughly enjoyed the game as the story, pop culture, and quirkiness made up for the issues. Does this game have a great story? I heard the combat was meh which I can get past if the story is really good
I thought thi sgame was a great game for what it was, i enjoyed the combat and gameplay...and the mini games wree a nice surprise....onpy thing is, the story, im not even sure what its about and ive beaten the game.
