    I was really looking forward to this game but it is absolute trash and not worth your time even for free. The narrative and writing is terrible. The controls and inventory system are broken.

    The game is packed full of boring repetitive tasks to make it longer, such as rolling dice for 30 minutes so you can progress. The dialogue system isn't fun either.

    first VR game (of +20 action titles) which made me feel uncomfortable and even motion sick. i got no problem from the freefall-mission but from the simple walking, endless boring scenes/ looking around inside airplane.. a lot of RPG style talking(choosing answers) is not what u expect from the action loaded trailers. there is a bug with oculus rift S which makes the game even more annyoingfirst VR game (of +20 action titles) which made me feel uncomfortable and even motion sick. i got no problem from the freefall-mission but from the simple walking, endless boring scenes/ looking around inside airplane.. a lot of RPG style talking(choosing answers) is not what u expect from the action loaded trailers. there is a bug with oculus rift S which makes the game even more annyoing and allmost unplayable. i quiet the game after 30mins (didnt even kill one enemy at that poin) of unpleasant experience. also i saw yt reciew claiming after first good mission game gets worse..but i didnt even make it until there… Expand

    Average game, rushed ending. It showed a lot of promise with the E3 demos, so I'm not sure what happened. Disappointing for an Oculus Studios title. Worthwhile playthrough if you can grab the game on sale.

    Are you ready to play the role of a badass secret agent? Despite some undeniable flaws, Twisted Pixel's game let you do it with style. Poor interactivity with the environment and mini-games can awaken abruptly the player from the feeling of "presence", but the variety of action and a fair degree of replayability make Defector a remarkable example of a virtual reality mix, balanced between adventure and action.

    Defector represents some of the best interactive elements in VR, with combat, gunplay, spycraft, and a little bit of puzzle work. While the wheels occasionally fall off on that puzzle aspect, and the story does feel a bit truncated, the ride is a blast while it lasts.

    Defector is a fun, adrenalinic and satisfying VR experience. We suggest to play it if you have Oculus.
