I suck at this game, but even I can see that it is quite well made. The modeling is very good as is the animation. The gameplay works well in VR. If I understand correctly from the early game you are something like an AI that can jump between security cameras and unlock doors and such. Since you are looking from the cameras your view is often from overhead. You are trying to get a girl out of jail and presumably through other adventures in a dystopian state.

There is regular time where you tell the protagonist where to run and hide or steal something and the like. Then there is stop time where you can jump around to different cameras, try to unlock doors or find codes and figure out what to do next. The stop time is a nice idea as it gives you a chance to think about what you are going to do next. You can also take a look at a map and your inventory. The controls seem to work quite well though as always with the GO you will need to re-calibrate your controller occasionally.

There is a real sense of immersion and tension in the game and it feels like real A level computer game if not quite AAA in this VR platform where most games feel like PS2 demos. This is often mentioned as one of the top games for mobile VR and it lives up to that reputation. If, like me, you aren't a stealth gamer be sure to look up the walkthrough on IGN as it helps a lot.
