Review: There are a few good dungeon crawler action games for our VR headsets these days and while it does tick a lot of good boxes I just feel ‘Crawling Of The Dead’ doesn’t quite cut it. It certainly looks the part and has more than enough content to justify its own price tag, but overall the game just feels a little unfinished. This is especially true when it comes to the gameplay as it just feels like a wash, rinse and repeat style. So you go out exploring, you find a recipe to make a weapon, you craft that said weapon and then go back out exploring, there is nothing to break this loop and make the game a little more interesting. Also on the action side of things, it feels very hit-and-miss, especially with the faster fights. ‘Crawling Of The Dead’ is still a good game, but there are better out there in the same genre.
