Description: A top-rated Gear VR title that no longer requires a controller to play! Play as a lone operative tasked with overthrowing a brutal regime that has thrown the war-torn city into darkness. Strategically plan your movement, infiltrate enemy grounds, and remain undetected. Utilize an array of weapons and gadgets to free the city. Through the use of low-light conditions and military optics, you can check your peripheral for enemy movement, activate thermal optics to target enemies in the dark, and activate X-ray vision to see through walls.
Review: Protocol Zero is very much like Metal Gear Solid or Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, it’s a stealth game that punished those who rush in and rewards people who scan and survey each small area. While you don’t get anywhere near the level of control of other stealth games it is still a joy to play even if it doesn’t make the best use of VR or the style of game it is trying to be. Having said that, for its current price I still do highly recommend downloading it. Sure it’s just about OK now, but it can only get better.
