  Difficult recommendation to make. It is fun for while it lasts, but I would suggest waiting for the developer to release additional levels. I have played for two hours with my girlfriend, and it appears we are 80% complete. There are 12-ish levels. The trailer is basically the entire game. One player navigates for the player that is wearing the headset. The navigator views a map of the level from a top down perspective. It is akin to the old map views in the original Doom. The navigator can view the entire level, enemies and all. This view allows the navigator to direct the player wearing the headset. Occasionally, the navigator can imput commands, or hacks, to assist - like disabling a patroling enemy. However, we have barely used them to complete the levels. The levels thus far have all been single floor - one floor with no stairs or elevator or ledges to a second or third floor. The player in the headset can sneak, walk or run throughout the level. He or she has no weapons or items to really interact with inside the game. You can collect keys by walking into them to unlock doors. You will also relay passcodes and observations to the navigator. Visuals get the job done but are very bare bone. Again, reminiscent of first person shooter gamers. Basic visuals ensured that I had a stutter free experience with a 980ti and i5-4570. The concept is unique but would have liked more depth. One of the store page screenshots depicts a console that states "trustno1". I hoped that tied into the actual game somehow - some sort of story that might make the person in the headset question whether the navigator was actually on his or her side and/or motives. A meta that disrupted whether the players were aligned together - akin your assistant in the beginning of System Shock II. Alas, that was me reading far too much into that screenshot. There is no story, explanation or anything. Although ... looking back, I am fairly certain my Girlfriend deliberately lead me to my doom on a handful of occassions. That said - Black Hat is one of the more polished VR games that I have played thus far ... just kind of shallow. It shows the potential for these type of VR games with a player at the desktop computer and a player in the headset. Remains to be seen whether we will ever get there. If Team Future Games released a game ... in the future (heh heh) ... where the roles are flipped - the navigator tries to stop the headset player, and the headset player can hack and defend himself - I would totally be into that game. On the topic of motion sickness. With my Girlfriend, I played in the headset the entire time and never experienced any sickness. The initial session lasted an hour. First time in a game with locomotion that I did not experience motion sickness. War Thunder in a plane made me ultra dizzy. The free Wizard VR game made me sick. Black Hat was a welcome relief. Pushed it to the limit too - sprinting, moving backwards, moving slowly. No motion sickess, so that was a nice change of pace. Regrettably, the Girlfriend cannot say the same. She put the goggles, moved a step in game, swooned in her chair, said "whoa" and then immediately took them off. Refuses to put them back on. Take that for what you will, but I think if she was willing to give it another try, she would adjust. ** Edited for clarity.

  HEADS UP BEFORE YOU BUY. There is a very good reason why a lot VR Games do the teleportation thing and this lets you move freely. However that dosnt sound as nice as it turned out to be incridebly sickening. Almost with in 5 min of playing I really felt the need to hurl as you are moving and your body does not feel it so its not tricked like with the teleporting. Concept seems awesome however if you are prone to motion sickness then stay the hell away. Shame too because it seems really rad. UPDATE: Dispite that the game still should be given a shot. But if you are sensitive like then you may wanna try the alternatives but thankfully its not something that holds the game back!

  I was skeptical about buying this game when I first saw that the reviews were mixed, but I have to say this is the best spent $10. -Very fun for both the hacker and person in VR -Very intense, sitting as the hacker at some points made my palms sweaty! -Difficult at times, which is great; something that is missing in the VR community. -Different/very original, also something that is entirely missing in the VR community (Thank god not another wave shooter.) -Has twelve levels, the third level in the game took us thirty minutes to complete. I would say there is definitely a good amount of content and replay value for ten dollars. Overall, I had a great time playing it and would recommend it highly.

  I really like the concept of this game. I hope other games will follow in its footsteps. However, this particular title was not made very well for the Vive. Head tilting is not registed in the game, and room scale is available but not really useful. You move around with the thumb pads, but your character moves very fast. This game will easily make you nauseous; in fact, the first time my friend entered the headset to play as the spy, he couldnt last 10 minutes of gameplay. I drove him home and he immediatly threw up when walking to his front door. This honestly feels like it was originally an Oculous Rift game that wasn't properly ported over. I don't know if that is the case, but at any rate, its unacceptable in its current condition. I have a really high tolerance for this kind of stuff. I once used Google Cardboard to play a ghetto SteamVR at an abysmal refresh rate. I've used various styles of 3D glasses/monitors. I've never gotten sick to my stomach like this game has done. Again, great concept, literally unplayable as it is now. Requested a refund.

  This game is always a hit when I have people over. I also started a VR business and the publisher was very responsive and easy to work with so I could provide this game to my customers. The assymetrical gameplay engages everyone in the room and makes it solid game. It definitely shows how unique VR can be if you add a bit of creativity.

  Still lists online multiplayer and coop tags, while indeed only the local multiplayer and coop tags apply. The developers have been made aware of this a year ago, but merely stated that they couldn't find a clear definition of what the tags mean. That qualifies for a negative review in itself.

  A very enjoyable local co-op experience. The movement could be slightly discomforting for those that aren't used to sliding locomotion if you're in there for awhile, but when passing the headset around, everyone seemed fine. I had fun mirroring the VR display on the TV and having the family watching and shouting together. While there aren't too many levels in the game, swapping places for who is in VR is a very different experience, so you can get some replayability out of each level. Especially if you want to 100% each one.

  Fun little game, but needs much more. More difficulty and complexity, and much much more on levels. It's fun though, we had some good laughs.

  Excellent coop game. Although a little light on content. I really hope they'll give us that level editor they've talked about. As it is now, I don't know about full price but you really can't go wrong if it's on sale.

  One of the most intense and insane co-op experience I've had playing a co-op game, quite unique, quite underrated, quite a lot of screaming GO LEFT! QUICKLY! ARGHHHH! in the best of ways :)

  I will play this game once it has either Natural Locomotion or at least teleportation. I tried the 3rd person view but it seems silly. So in its current state, I wouldn't play this.

  This is the most fun i have ever had with friends in a VR game Asymetric VR games are amazing ! I wish they would make a more advanced splinter cell like version of this game But still for its money its very worth it

  The movement controls follow the direction your head is facing. Not the direction your body is facing. This causes motion sickness. It's a fun game so far, but I've heard it's short. I'm expecting to take a few weeks or months to finish about 3 hours of game-play because me and my girlfriend can only play for about 5 minutes each before having to do something else. Vader immortal also uses the control stick for movement, but I had no problems with motion sickness in it. I hope developers take note of how very subtle differences in movement systems cause major motion sickness differences.
