Pacing remains a problem, even with skippable cutscenes, as level length is often short and keeps you from becoming fully immersed. The core game, however, still has its issues.

In my time with the game I’ve noticed some occasional moments of stutter and one crash - all of which happened when I was also screen recording - but, compared to the PC VR experience even with a 3070 Ti, that’s actually a much more favorable turnout.Īll-in-all this is a really impressive port, then. Of course, these downgrades do mean the game actually runs pretty well on Quest at least. Some of the more consistent issues involve the resolution making characters and objects blurry at a distance. But, moving further into the campaign, later levels like the Norway section still run very well. And that makes a significant impact to the gameplay, too, as enemies are easier to spot. After three or four sequences that match up relatively well, it’s very surprising to suddenly launch into one woodland mission and see all of the bushes and shrubs that mask your presence in the PC VR version totally missing from this one. We’ve found the biggest differences in areas with vegetation and other big details. Character models have also degraded but are still pretty impressive for Quest. The opening prologue in Tunisia makes some heavy concessions, for example, removing smoke effects and background detail but all in an effort to retain some of the more impressive sequences like a plane flying past. But the crucial point to get across with this port is that the difference in quality between the two versions really varies by the level. Generally speaking, then, this is a very impressive conversion, with some levels even looking remarkably close to the PC original (considering the obvious constraints of the hardware). This is a surprisingly story-heavy game with lots of moments of standing around talking to the game’s cast, which gives us a lot of opportunities to inspect character models and environments between the action. Above is our first look at the first 30 minutes of the campaign, which takes you through the tutorials, a handful of missions and a heck of a lot of cutscenes.

That means you get the game’s full original campaign with multiple hours of gameplay, and the multiplayer modes, too. Launched on November 15th, Above and Beyond is a full-on port of the original PC VR game, and the third full Oculus Quest 2 exclusive (as in, you can’t play it on Quest 1).
