00:21A MP! Let's go!
00:23I can't even hit the ladder!
00:25So close!
00:30Move!
00:40This is Medal of Honor Above and Beyond by the developers Respawn Entertainment
00:45and it was released on the 15th of November 2021.
00:48About the game, this is my second time playing this through.
00:51This was one of my first games when I bought it on my quest too many moons ago
00:56and I remember enjoying it back then.
00:58But I was also new to VR so I wanted to see how this holds up today.
01:02So you are playing some war hero who is called away on special missions to Europe during World War 2 period.
01:08You will be thrusted into and experience some of the most historic events of World War 2.
01:13Levels and size.
01:14There's a lot going on in this game.
01:16Manning guns on a bomber.
01:18To parachuting out of a plane in enemy territory.
01:21Driving tanks.
01:22To gunning down Germans as you ride across country as a passenger on a bike.
01:27Skiing downhill.
01:29Skiing avoiding an avalanche.
01:31To derailing trains and being on one working your way up the carriages.
01:35Taking out every person you see.
01:37To going undercover and into the lion's den.
01:40You play over so many locations that you feel like you have travelled the world.
01:45It roughly gives you anywhere between 7 to 11 hours.
01:49Depending on your play style and if you skip the cutscenes.
01:52Enemies and bosses.
01:54Planes, trains, tanks, ships, submarines, trucks, bikes, men.
02:00This game has it all in there one way or another.
02:04And you will certainly experience the thrill of the fights.
02:07The fighting was decent at normal difficulty level.
02:10But you can always adjust the difficulty level if you find it too easy or even too hard.
02:15Weapons.
02:16All the weapons of World War 2.
02:18I'm so glad they didn't deviate from that and made space guns or anything.
02:22You have your pistols, SMGs, rifles, shotguns and rocket launchers and grenades.
02:29And whatever weapons are on board any of these vehicles you might be inside of.
02:33Mechanics.
02:34The story rolls out really well.
02:36It's all perfectly executed.
02:38No stuttering or crashing.
02:39I had no major issues.
02:41The only thing I question is the ladder climbing.
02:44You have to grab hold of the ladder or rails to pull yourself up.
02:48And then it kind of just cuts to you being on top.
02:51It's not a big deal but it can sometimes disorientate you.
02:54The gameplay is also great.
02:56It all looks how it's supposed to.
02:58Enemies shoot back how they are meant to.
03:01Everything worked just how it should have.
03:03Controls.
03:04If you are familiar with shooter games then you will have no issues here.
03:08It's all very quick and easy to pick up.
03:10Even if you are new to VR you will learn the controls in no time.
03:14Game menus.
03:15Though the look of menus isn't super pretty.
03:17They are decent enough and offer campaign mode.
03:20Multiplayer though this is no longer available.
03:22Survival mode where you get a choice of six locations.
03:25A gallery with 19 videos to watch.
03:28And then options which offer you options to choose type of body.
03:32Skin tone.
03:33Hands.
03:34Voice.
03:35Set difficulty.
03:36And choose if you wish to see the enemy strength by displaying a series of stars above their heads.
03:41One being easy.
03:42Five being hard.
03:44Then there's gameplay accessibility.
03:46VR combat.
03:47Audio.
03:48And video menus.
03:49Which all have further options.
03:51My thoughts.
03:52So does this game still stand up?
03:55Absolutely it does.
03:56Don't be thrown off by the bitter views on the meta store.
04:00This is still a great game.
04:01It's actually a lot better than many of the games that are being released today.
04:05It mixes combat very well with story by the way of a lot of cutscenes that you are part of.
04:10And I really like that.
04:11There was a multiplayer option for a while.
04:14But it was removed in December 2023.
04:16I think this is what some people are bitter about.
04:19I imagine because not many people played it.
04:22But for me it's okay.
04:23Because I already have my go to's for online multiplayer shooters.
04:26And the campaign in this game is rock solid.
04:29I had a blast replaying this through again.
04:32I think it starts off a little easier for the first hour.
04:35Whilst letting you get used to the controls.
04:37But it soon ramps up.
04:38I really do like that the game takes you through all types of scenarios.
04:42From land to air.
04:44On board a train and a plane.
04:45To in the sea.
04:46Now whilst it is a really great game to play.
04:49And worth the price tag.
04:50If you see it at a 30% or more sale.
04:52Then absolutely nab it at once.
04:55So overall I mark Medal of Honor above and beyond.
04:58A 9.7 stars.
