Bought two more games, and it’ll likely be the last two I’ll buy from the Winter Sale. Curse you Gaben and your sweet deals! You nearly murdered my wallet!
I’ll be expressing my thoughts the same way I did with the last ones. Also, these games will not be included in my upcoming VR Awards post.
GORN
Good..
-Very satisfying and fun to beat the shit out of people with deadly medieval era
weapons (flails, 1H axes, and the like), having realistic blows based on the angle on my swing. I can make someone stumble forward by smacking them in the back.
-You can rip their arms off in a comical Gmod-like way of it ragdolling.
-Runs alright on my computer, to an extent. But this isn’t enough to warrant it as a ‘bad’, just a sign of poor hardware (has nothing to do with the game).
-The game doesn’t let you know that if you take too much damage, you can save your life by killing someone. You figure out this mechanic on your own (I like this).
-The game gets a bit too immersive for me, having uppercutted the furniture in my
room (twice). I have the scars on my right hand to prove it.
-Once a ‘bad’ (no option to auto-hold a weapon without holding down the primary trigger), pressing the Menu button instead does this awesome thing.
Bad..
-No way to pause a match in progress. To me, this is great disappointment.
-2H weapons like the spear, I don’t really like how the pointy end flails around like it’s made out of rubber. If it was more solid, I feel I would have a better chance at using these weapons.
-Non clear instructions on how to unlock new weapons. Aka, I got 8 kills with a spear, yet it says I still need 0/5 kills with it to get the bow. It doesn’t tell you that you have to kill with a spear and survive an Arena match to get the credit. This is stupid.
-Would had liked to see an option to not randomize your unlocked weapons when doing an Arena match.
Overall..
Even though it doesn’t fully support WMR, it still runs great. Just would had liked to see more user aid features (such as Seated support). That’s really all I can say.
Good game, though.

Job Simulator
Good..
-The game is [GOOD] for all humans, and has full WMR support (works well with Playspace Mover).
-‘Office Worker’ job crash bug is well known, to where the dev is asking you to email him your specs and when it happened (happens to me as well).
-Infinite Overtime mode allows you to play the various jobs, well.. infinitely (until you’re tired of it). It even awards you with [RANKS].
Bad..
-Given the date of the release, I wish the game had more jobs by now.
-Wish there were new twists when it comes to Infinite Overtime mode, instead of do the same job type you already did 10 minutes ago. Like, actual robberies, or having a health inspector come, or someone that restocks your stuff. Just something different the game throws in, to keep it feeling new and fresh.
-Overcharging robots in the Store Clerk/Auto Mechanic job, doesn’t bother them. Takes the fun out of making them pay $4,500 for a burrito (while they try to use a coupon).
Overall..
A pretty chill game compared to GORN. As said before, I would had liked to have seen more jobs (feels too little for the $20 pricetag).
I hope the Office Worker crash bug gets fixed soon, though. I can see why this is possibly making most people not recommend the game (the fact it’s taking a very, very long time to come up with a fix).

And there you go. Likely the last two games I get until I get up the money for new hardware for my computer. Had to take advantage of the savings (given how I had no money for the Halloween and Autumn sales).
