Containment Initiative
I’m a big fan of zombie shooters, and so I offered to help test the game when the dev was looking for feedback.
Containment Initiative’s big differentiating feature from other zombie shooters is the gunplay mechanics, in particular the reloading. You get the same pressure as in other games with zombies coming at you, but now you have to manage working your gun correctly, and it seems so perfectly suited for VR. A few other VR games are going this direction, but this is the first time I think that it’s been applied to a zombie shooter.

I was a bit skeptic about this game at first, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. I originally was just looking for a co-op game to play with my friend and it really delivered. The ability for a friend to play as a support unit on the PC screen was a pretty clever mechanic that I really appreciated. My favorite game mode is scavenge since you can move around and explore. There’s not a huge variety of weapons and enemies, but I didn’t expect anything crazy. The story isn’t amazing either, but it follows a progression that leads up to a post where you have to get a sample of the virus to find a cure. I hope to see this game develop more or more games that follow this co-op mechanic.

The Persistence
What a great surprise is The Persistance VR !
Is too early to give a definitive review but so far I want to give this game a big thumb up !
I Recommend this for VR players.
So far the game is an 8/10 for me.
Here is a good gameplay video that shows different mechanics: https://youtu.be/fwtger58dyw
The game has a main story where the player is embodied on clones that can evolve in stats, and the player can unlock blueprints of new weapons and features. With those premises the game generates a procedural level with the current objective of the campaign.

UPDATE 17 DEC:
Just completed the Main Campaign. I found the campaign to be well-balanced; it often took various attempts to get through each level, but the game fortunately saved major accomplishments as you went through the level, so you never had to replay too much of the current level. Ultimately,there was a steady sense of progression as you played the game, with the only exception being the final part of the game where you had only a single life left (HINT: Use the Captain’s DNA to double your health).
