Description: Become fully immersed in the firefight! Experience a first person shooter as you never have before: Onward combines mil-sim gameplay with the experience of playing in virtual reality. Players cannot rely on crosshairs or mini maps, instead you rely on coordination and communication with your squad in order to succeed at your objective. Realistic combat mechanics and artificial locomotion will push your combat survival skills to their limit as you engage in infantry combat across a large variety of maps and combat situations.

Review: While you do have to take its age into account Onward is still a pretty impressive online FPS that many people still enjoy today. Sadly online players have long abandoned this game, but at least it has the feature if you can get some friends together to play it. Anyone who likes games like PUBG will be right at home here but do expect some nausea as the full motion does call for your VR legs. The main issue with this game is its price. At £18.99 there is just no way to justify recommending it and while there is a good few days content here even in the single-player mode it’s still not enough. But I would definitely keep an eye out for it in a sale and get some friends to do the same thing.
