Doom VFR is a first-person shooter developed by id Software for VR headsets, which are required to play. The production came out for PC and PS4, among other platforms.
Plot
The action of Doom VFR takes place shortly after the demonic invasion of the UAC facility on Mars known from 2016’s Doom. The player assumes the role of the attack’s sole survivor – after death, his consciousness is transferred to a computer matrix which allows him to control nearby robots. The task he has to accomplish right after activation is to annihilate the hellish monsters and thus stop the incoming catastrophe.
Mechanics
In Doom VFR for PC and PS4, we observe the action from the first-person perspective (FPP). At the core of the gameplay is dynamic and brutal combat, during which we use an extensive and elaborate weapon arsenal that includes a machine gun, a gatling gun, and a shotgun. We face varied enemies on our way: from numerous and ordinary to powerful bosses.
The developers prepared a number of locations for the purposes of the game. These include both narrow, even claustrophobic, underground corridors as well as more spacious arenas. Similarly to other games of this type, the navigation isn’t smooth – the protagonist can teleport on small distances.
Technical aspects
The three-dimensional graphics of Doom VFR for PC and PS4 are enjoyable, especially if we consider that it is a VR game. Richly detailed enemy models, environment, and visual effects during firefights are really impressive. The game’s original soundtrack also catches the ear.
