Description: “Do you know who you are, where’s that urge to kill coming from?” Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR is an immersive story-rich game based on wave shooter mechanics in a large scale world. In the ancient times, in hell, The Devil knows that people there are bad, but he does not understand what drives them this way, so he leaves hell to see why do they do the things they do. Since that day, throughout the ages, he walks amongst the humankind, picked a few subjects and gave them their deepest darkest desires. After that, he took everything from them and threw them in a manipulated version of their world to see what would a human do to stay alive!
Review: When it comes to ‘Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR’ I feel the phrase “close but no cigar” rings true here. It has all the makings of a great zombie killer game, but trips over itself almost every step of the way. It looks good, but has hardly any content, the gameplay is fun, well…that is until you come across one of the many annoying bugs and the price should have been easily justifiable given the quality of the graphics and gameplay, but due to the rushed release and lack of content, its impossible to do so. For now, it is best to avoid this game until it gets some updates, but it is one game I will be keeping a firm eye on for sure.
