Finished the first mission in Espire 1, it's fucking BAD. As a Vive user, I found that the thing doesn't even have an option to lock shit to your hands. You have to hold the fucking grip button constantly, and what's worse, you have to use the grip button to climb, the trigger turns your hand into a worthless camera. It took me ages to even figure out how to access the menu, and when I did, I was blown away. You can set the movement to controller based, but it doesn't work. It's always based on head direction. You can turn off the cancerous "comfort mode" shit, but you're still left with the annoying piss yellow lines running down your HUD.

The AI is a complete pushover. Not only that, but it seems like you have, at all times, an instant full heal that only requires you to use both hands at once. The game doesn't even appear to have a difficulty section.

For a stealth game, you get a sub machine gun off the first guy you shoot, and from that point on there is no possible reason you would ever go non-lethal. It's so fucking dumb, if you're aping MGS, why not say all the soldier's guns are ID locked or something as a quick excuse to make you play stealthy for at least the first level? I liked the idea of the single shot pistol, but why would anyone take it over the fucking machine gun you're showered in ammo for?

This game needs about another half a year in development. I can't imagine how bad it was before the delay, because this thing is a buggy turd now. Thank fuck I didn't pay for it. I honestly struggle to imagine myself booting this back up, someone else better play further and find out if it ever gets better.
