Breachers hands-on: A top-notch tactical VR shooter in the style of Rainbow Six Siege
Breachers skillfully brings the tactical gameplay of Rainbow Six Siege to VR. I tried out the 5v5 shooter for the Quest 3.
As a huge fan of tactical multiplayer shooters like Rainbow Six: Siege, Breachers immediately captivated me. That's why I checked out the 5v5 shooter for Meta Quest 3. In addition to the version for Meta Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro, Breachers is also available for PSVR 2 and of course for PC VR.
Breachers is heavily based on the Ubisoft original and brings its proven gameplay concept to VR. Two teams compete against each other in multiple rounds, alternating between the roles of attackers (Enforcers) and defenders (Revolters).
As the Enforcers, your goal is to infiltrate a building and defuse two bombs planted by the Revolters. The defenders must prevent this from happening at all costs. Both sides have access to a variety of weapons and special gadgets to gain an advantage.
It looks great but i'm just not sure it's my kind of game. I'm kinda tired of VR shooters. I never get tired of VR sorcery and blades games for some reason.
I'm interested in seeing how they translated sweaty, competitive shooter gameplay to VR. That being said, I really fuckin hate the new e-sports swaggot style they're adding to shooters right now, eg The Finals and this. I'm sure they're both tones of fun to play, and Finals looks genuinely impressive from a technical standpoint, but it Just makes the whole thing feel so stupid to me. Like, get into a real sport and let video games be video games for christ sake
