Despite some minor gripes, its clear that Apex Construct represents the way forward for VR videogames, an absorbing, intriguing experience that draws you in with a rich world complete with is own history and mysteries to be unravelled as well as a fluid combat system. Apex Construct is the standard by which future VR titles will be judged, and an indicator that VR has stepped up its game.

Apex Construct is one of the rare games on PSVR that feels like a real game and not a demo or a gimmick. The story and storytelling is good with real nice voice acting. The environments are beautiful, and if you're lucky enough to know Swedish you'll have a couple of extra laughs over things found written here and there, as well as a nice feeling of being home in this warped post apocalypse like version of Stockholm. The controls works nicely, and I was glad to find you can change settings to drawing your bow with left hand. Shooting the bow, dodging and blocking attacks with a shield feels pretty cool. I'm super prone to motion sickness in VR but have had no problems in Apex Construct because of the teleport mode of transportation. There are elevator trips that make me queasy, but they're short so I just close my eyes for a couple of seconds. A lot of input in the game is typed on large virtual keyboards, and that's a bit of a pain since you write the same thing over and over. Very quickly I wondered why there couldn't just have been an "open" button to press instead of having to type it repeatedly. Also the terminals where you type this have a small font, and whenever I leaned closer to read it the game auto adjusted its position so the terminal popped away from me and I had to bend over double to squint at it at a distance. All the information is however stored and readable in your home base, and there the font is large and easy to read. I could not find any subtitles for the game which is kind of a bummer, maybe there will be in a later patch. The game feels intuitive, immersive and engaging. Is it the best game ever made? No, it's not. But considering what's available on PSVR right now it is without a doubt among the best PSVR games.

Love this game. Great world, fun bow and arrow mechanic. And the sound and music is awesome! Finally a real game for PSVR.

Though not without its faults, Apex Construct offers up an attractive, cleverly constructed and well crafted marriage of action and puzzle solving elements that demands your attention.

Monotony and lack of personality. Those are the only two problems that we have found in Apex Construct. If you can rise above them, you are going to find a really nice VR experience. A fascinating story, with a world plenty of secrets and details about itself, and fun action levels that are energetic and dynamic. You should give Apex Construct a chance.

Apex Construct provides some excellent exploration and exposition in a compelling and beautifully bizarre world. While there is a fully-baked experience here, the engaging story and compelling gameplay is marred by PSVR’s limited control scheme. It represents a step forward for the platform, and for storytelling, but a bit of polishing or patching would bring the controls to heel.

Apex Construct is heavily flawed, with a fun and fairly precise shooting mechanic unfortunately not enough to make up for the dismal movement controls and derivative narrative.

Getting killed because of unwieldy controls is nobody’s idea of a good time, and Apex Construct rubs salt into those wounds by removing un-banked experience points every time you die. Although not all bad, its sense of adventure and investigation is marred by eternally clumsy motion and combat.

One of the few great adventure games for Virtual Reality that brings good gameplay, story, and graphics. With an added competitive and addicting archery gamemode!

Very cool atmosphere, although there are only around five or six stages that you basically play through twice with a subtle difference like an added door to open later ala Metroid. Fun arrow play but also tricky to get the aim down. After 10 hours to 100% the game, I got better but never felt I had the quiver down perfectly. There are a handful of enemies, three types of arrows, three cans of soda, grenades, mines, 16 collectables, one real boss, and a LOT of recycled assets throughout the game. There were also a few times I felt pretty lost and unsure of what to do. Playing seated, I could not open any low drawers. That's unacceptable. And like Budget Cuts and Bendy, there are way too many empty drawers that make opening them all feel like a waste of time. Other than that, the gameplay was pretty solid. I especially enjoyed traversing and using a combination of locomotion and teleportation, which blended seamlessly into the gameplay. The game is challenging in that you lose all collected orbs if you die. I found the game to be frustrating on Normal and restarted the game on Easy. I enjoyed the lore, the decent number of secrets and collectibles, but never felt there were enough secret locations to explore. Some secrets required a teleport through narrow passages that looked impossible to pass through. There were a few walls to explode as well. A few times the game swarms the player with too many waves of enemies, which feels overwhelmingly long. Otherwise the combat is well balanced with exploration and puzzles. The voice overs are well done and the story kept me engaged until the end, but nothing was fully answered after sinking 10 plus hours into the game—which was very disappointing. I was leaning toward a score of an 8.0 through most of my playthrough but the totally disappointing ending (actually the game doesn't end) left me somewhat confused and unsatisfied. My score: 7.8

Posiblemente sea el segundo mejor shooter gratis para Ps4, es verdad que sueles morir rápido debido a la cantidad de jugadores. Cuesta demasiado desbloquear a los personajes. Pero te vas a divertir.
