60 of 175 · most liked firstThere's been a ton of negative reviews lately by people who don't follow the steam forum developments for this game, and got the impression it'd been abandoned because of how long it's been since the last update ...but as it turns out, the dev was just holding off on small updates to grope them together for one *massive* game-overhauling update in one big burst- instead of a bunch of smaller, more incremental changes. This dev *definitely* is still putting tons of work into this game!

When they get too close you can't really shoot them.(At least I've struggled to do so) So any chance of adding a bat, crow bar, or simply push with the other hand to get space? They've Added Melee! Great!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game about 2 weeks ago. Played it quite a bit. It's a open world zombie survival game for VR. You are on a small island and you are free to go wherever you like. There are about 5 different types of locomotion you can choose from, even the omni treadmill is supported, if you're lucky enough to have one. There is a story mode, and arcade mode...where you basically get swarmed by more and more zombies until you can't handle that many and die (this mode also has a leaderboard for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great start, the movement system is a unique, simple and very effective solution. Really gives you a sense of scale. It's easy to lose yourself with teleportation, I really appreciate this slow walk (with limitted sprint) locomotion. Creeping through a dark church with my flashlight, checking pews for supplies, looking behind me periodically for zeds...Very good stuff. Needs optimization. Lots of frame loss in certain scenes, like looking at the ocean at spawn. edit: There have been at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has been working on updating the game for months, some people just dont know how to look.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here's whats up with the Locomotion control in this game: Its bad, very bad. In detail, the 'new' 'natural movment' or w/e they are calling it is totally unatural to your brain, as it feels as though a conveyor belt just started up and your on it. Or like you are sliding on ice, and then abruptly stopping makes you lose your balance for a second for no reason at all besides your brain creating a placebo effect. Sure you can get used to it I guess. After about 5 minutes or so the strange feeling…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Game For VR i've found yet. The enviroment is beautiful and very creepy. The weapons are well done and I love the reload mechanics in the game. And it is set a price I believe any early access game should be for VR right now and it's even on sale for 6 dollars so there is no reason you shouldn't buy it. The movement may disorient you AT FIRST but after 2 or 3 minutes you adjust and it is probably my prefered movement over teleportation. VERY frequent updates so far, the map as well looks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seems like a true "early access" game. You can see some great potential, but there are many items that need ironed out and many parts that need put in for this to be a great game. For the current sale rate it was worth it to me to be able to actually walk around an area and know that zombies could be hiding behind any door. I'm really looking forward to how this game improves. At full price, I'd probably wait a few weeks and see if the developers are going to flesh this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kudos to the developer of this game for being super responsive to the community. However, I can not recommend this game at $15 at this time. For a one-man developer, it is very impressive for sure. And there is fun to be had with this game, especially if it is one of your first VR experiences. But the game is too rough around the edges and feels unfinished compared to other experiences you can have in VR for this amount of money. Recommending this game at this price point would be a detriment…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VRZ Torment feels like it should be in Early Access, but it isn't. The TLDR of this review is that the game is very buggy and in a very incomplete state, even though it's not in Early Access and has been released since June 9th, 2016, over a year ago. It does not seem like it will be in a fully playable state anytime soon, but what's here would be worth getting if you don't have a realistic zombie-killing game yet if it was a little bit cheaper, maybe $5. For the price, it's too little…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bottom line: Using the Virtuix Omni treadmill with this game is a blast on Arcade mode. Dual-wielding sub machine guns while running and gunning with 5000 rounds of ammo is so much fun. Story mode still needs work: not enough ammo to survive as a loud gunner but zombies always find you even if you're quiet and stealthy. I bought this game because I have a Virtuix Omni and HTC Vive, and it's one of the few games that natively supports the Omni treadmill for VR locomotion. I have no idea how…

Something you can only experience and feel whilst in VR . The location I was in was fantastic, the graphics and effects are really well done, the sense of exploration and adventure keeps things interesting. I appreciated the attention to detail and the random surprise attacks which keeps you on your toes.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controls are VERY clunky and unintuitive. Even the starting menu screen isn't at all obvious how to navigate, and there's no indication about how to switch options at all either. There's no tutorial in game, and the movement system is horrendous. Your character floats forward when you hold Left Menu and point at a location, but since you're not actually moving IRL, it's a quick recipe for nausea. Ugggh. I'll be refunding this. I can see the potential, but it's just not there yet.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjnpVJ65mSo&feature=youtu.be Sometimes I wish that there was more than a recommend and not recommend option for games. VRZ is not a terrible game. I have played for a couple hours and there are some things thant really bother me and other things that I like. The Graphics are fine. not AAA quality or anything. I'm guessing they are using assets but I don't mind that in indie games. I feel like it's a great thing, especially in a fledgling field like VR,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRmtwqQGMbU VRZ Torment is kind of like Arizona Sunshine's more arcadey little brother. It doesn't quite have the gloss of a bigger studio game, but for having such a small studio it does well to carve out its own identity all the same. Even though this is most certainly a zombie game, I wouldn't call it a purist zombie game in the sense that headshots are not needed to kill zombies, and some of the enemies have special abilities such as a screaming (terrifying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First let me start off by saying I do like this game very much however... I will start with the bad. -No direction from what I can tell. After getting the pistol I had no idea what to do or where to go. -It could definitely use some optimization but that's not a deal breaker. -And another thing that kind of bothers me is that your guns feel so weak even though they aren't. I'm talking like the firing noise and it's very hard to tell if you even hit them, let alone where. As with every…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2017 Review. The game now is a more fuller feeling game. There are objectives to complete in the map. I haven't made it past the first level yet so I do not know what is next. The game has difficulty modes. I don't need the challenge as much as the VR experience. That is how I feel about any VR game. The game is brighter than it was before so that is a plus as it is easier on the eyes and the graphics look clearer than before even with the fog. The undead are much more aggressive than before…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update 6th of January 2017 Congratulation to the developer. He kept his words and brought us a nice update with trackpad locomotion and a lot of zombies. Since I like the new update, it is just fair to update my review from not recommended to recommended. What I like: * Atmosphere is great, the gun handlung is overall good, some sort of story line, good graphics Where I see more potential: * very difficult at the moment - really al lot of zombies running to you * better view and less mist…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game. I just have one complaint, everything runs great except for the settings screen. It is a resource hog, frame rate drops dramatically very frustrating. Once in game though it runs perfectly. Please dumb down the settings screen, it's only settings and should be a place you can tweak the game running better than the game itself.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been playing this game since the First week it was released. And i have to say it is by far the Best Zombie story driven game currently out in VR. its Hard its fun and its awesome. The Developers have worked so hard to make this game the best it can be. They listen to the community make changes Where needed. To get the best experience Read the PDF File its very helpful. If you are looking for a game to buy make sure this is at the top of your list.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've had some good times and bad times in this game, however it has a TON of potential and the dev team is VERY quick to respond to bug reports and repair these issues. The game was rendered unplayable for me due to an issue where decoupled mode didn't work right for OMNI Virtuix support. I reported it and with 30mins the devs had responded and started work to fix it. Great team and I look forward to seeing their game flourish!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks for the updates and nice try with them, but the game is a mess. It is has huge issues and problems, even more so then the earlier release. Its almost as if youve just tried cramming in everything you wanted without playtesting it. Firstly, this was meant to be a zombie game, hence its best if you keep it as a zombie game, and forget doing silly things like adding ghosts and spirits. The first time i saw the ghost appear, i was like what is this crap?! Adding monsters etc.. is fine,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As of now there is no story, just an island with guns laying around and you kill zombies. For less than 10 bucks, totally recommend. Change it to night settings and it's much more atmospheric. Can't wait to see the upcoming updates! Short playthrough with control explanations and few things I would love to see in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlv15LSG9lE

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whom was the genius that though teleportation was the way to go with VR games. This game and developers have proved everyone else so wrong. I've had the vive for several months, and have tried literally all the VR games & experiences, and specifically all the other VR zombie games, and I must say this games is the winner. This game has everything I was imaging all the other VR content would have, as far as the experience. The weapons, the environment, the freedom to walk around, a-z.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does ALOT of things right, sadly it does alot of things wrong too. everything bad about this game CAN be fixed though... hopefully they will be. The zombies take WAY to many rounds to die, and head shots seem to do nothing more than body shots. All said and done, for $6 Its not a bad pick up. The game is scary and challenging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool already. The movement is a little jarring, especially if you move in your play area while the character is walking in a different direction. So it kinda requires a strong "vr-stomach". Played two rounds, first time I died, second time I ran out of ammo (I think), haven't really understood the interface yet. There seems to be a slight bug with the "walk faster" feature, because, even though I kept the button pressed, I sometimes slowed down again. edit: Seems like I just didn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't write a ton of reviews, but feel the need for VRZ: Torment, ESPECIALLY after dealing with the devs, in particular Irakli- (THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN, Irakli!!!!) Let's begin with the quick issue. After installing and beginning play, no matter what settings I used, my character would not turn/ rotate. Along with this, in arcade mode, I was receiving no points with each kill, (also, SOMEHOW, probably because it was soooo much fun, I didn't even make note that I was supposed to be getting 5…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not bother in current state. Game loads for 5 minutes while crashing constantly, controlls are horrible, gun play is somewhat decent with mediocre graphics and constant crashing. Had to refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game held my interest for the whole campaign (8 hours for me), which is something that cannot be said for many other indie VR games I’ve played. Essentially, you are on an island filled with various sealed-off areas to explore and the goal is to escape. You must use tools found in each of these areas to complete light puzzle elements in order to progress the story. The story is well told and the narrator has a fantastic voice and demeanour. He gives you hints about what to do next but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs actually listen to the community and now have implemented snap turning along with locomotion! This has vastly improved the game and I will be playing it much much more and I am very excited to see the evolution with more improvements to come!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically The best game on VR as developers are crazy as hell and adding fixing all kind of thing they are listening to community :) what do gamers need more ?! MORE GAMES LIKE THIS AND DEVELOPERS ON STORE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #THANKS #VRZ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would prolly be decent but, severe lagginess when any group of zombies approach. I7 7700k, 1080, 32gb ram, m2 ssd
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is going to be my very favorite game. I can see that already. When you appear in the game, it's just after sunset and the sun is going down. As you progress, it gets darker and darker and the zombies get harder and harder to see and the tension builds. All you have with you is a pistol with light mounted on it, your cellphone and a wristwatch to help you to survive and to find other tools and weapons. The feel of the game is amazing. It's so intense being in the dark, stalked by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'd say this game is a little bit rough even as an early access, average graphic with jitters, shabby sounds, occasionally bugs. but hell i've managed to get some fun out of it. locomotion works perfect, movement in the game is far more natrual than teleportion. gun play is OK, it's more realistic compared with traditional FPS games, and is coming closer to the real world counterparts. creepy mood. if you like guns and got some balls, then give this one a try. guns and balls equals... i don't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game compares alot to The Brookhaven Experiment demo which I have played often and love, but this game is nearly a third of the price cheaper and is a third more fun and scary. If you like to be scared this game is a must for you If you like killing zombies this game is a must for you If you like scaring your friends (stop it, it's not very nice) only joking, but this game is a must for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so, i orignally played this a little in 2016, and it was OK, i have just come back to give it a go in 2021, and it doesn't work, the settings button, takes you to a broken menu screen, the start button, gets into the game, but it locks up, when you move, or even pickup and item, so its basicly unplayable. PS, other games like half-life alex work fine.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is pretty bad. Graphically ugly, awkawrd controls, AI that is even bad for being zombies. No progression or saves. You can do much better for your money. I would recommend AZ Sunshine, Zombday, or even Contagion over this mess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't work on my rift. "unresponsive".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll admit, I've been in a VR rut for many months, barely turning it on and not buying any new games. With so much shovelware and glorified tech demos out there I was burnt out on the HTC Vive. Then I discovered VRZ in my Viveport subscription and I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time...excitement! I liked it so much I bought the game on Steam. There are many things to like about this game. The weapon play is fantastic. I love the variety of weapons and their capabilities. I love…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my first VR game, and i must say i am overly pleased. I was always skeptical of VR games, but it seems time has come to put those assumptions to rest. Future is now, the future is here and it is time to accept it. Torment is a nice step in a right direction. As many people've said, the game struggles with occasional bugs here and there, but overall, future for this indie dev and it's future projects is looking quite bright. Short game, good game, especially for it's price tag.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Idiotic story aside (I cant belive it was written by someone actually working with Vampires Masquerade, it just feels like a lump of random ideas put together to fill in a nonsense story) the game technicals are terrible, it should still be in early access, the UI is clunky, grabing sometime works, sometime it doesn't, zombies spawn out of thin air and everything works juddery like hell. I really loved the first concept, the demo... it felt like something that could come out really nice, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like zombie shooter games You have to play VRZ:Torment. I didn’t expect that VR indie game to be so good. in truth this is high quality virtual reality game what gives you a lot of fun. When I downloaded this game it was night and I wanted to sleep. But when I started playing this game I forgot about sleep and played all night. This is one of the best game in 2k17 9.99/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game.tons of fun. Really recommend giving this one a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VRZ Torment is one of the few games I know of that has native Virtuix Omni support, so no special configuration or animal sacrifices are necessary... unfortunately, some of the design decisions are not Omni-compatible, which is hilarious since the game includes a commercial license specifically for VR arcades that intend to use the game with an Omni. For instance, the first items your encounter in the game are either lying on the ground or inside a crate that is also on the ground. Obviously,…

And even if VRZ GAME until today is an early access title without much content yet, it still entertaining and definately gives me goosebumps while walking slowly around the graveyard being chased by those flesh eating monsters. This is what VR is made for, zombie shooters are awesome in Virtual Reality!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game due to its locomotion system, fairly good graphics, and somewhat realistic reload system along with using your phone as a tool in the other hand. Upon launching game, you start in a barren room that seems to try to combine a tutorial, game settings, and a ton of weapons you can't use strewn across the floor. When you hit the trigger you'll hear a weird zombie growl and it will put you in whatever zombie world this is. The environment seemed interesting at…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best VR experiences I've had out there !!! Loved locomotion system and exploration. Gunplay still needs some work and feels solid already. This is still EA but already get feel of great potential, will keep eye on that for sure!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall it's good and shows promise. Pros: -Looks nice. -The movement doesn't make me feel sick. -It's actually pretty scary. Cons: -No way of pausing or bringing up a menu? -Enemies are too small. -Would be good if as well as large waves of enemies, some individual ones could creep up to you, maybe only hearing faint footsteps. Others could jump out and jump-scare you from behind trees etc. It gets a bit samey otherwise. -The leaves react strangely to the torch light. -Would be good to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers This game is very different than vast majority of VR games out there. This is a punishing game and it's survival in its purest form. No, you don't need to eat food or drink water or make build crap ... you have to look for stuff and survive the zombie horde with the limited supplies you have as the night comes soon. I imagine if there ever was a zombie apocalypse, you'd feel like you do in this game (minus all the cool weapons just lying…

And... press a button to reload my gun? Really?! It's VR where you supposed to handle weapons like in real life. Sorry but if I wanted to reload by clicking a button, I'd play a regular PC game with mouse and keyboard. Bottom line: dont buy it. Lazy developers who take shortcuts dont deserve the $10 that they demand for it. EDIT: Developers keep communicating, release new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Haven't played much. I intend to update this later. All I can say right now is you need to go in with the expectation that its going to take a few tries to not fail on the first night. Keep exploring. You are likely to die multiple times before making it very far. If you're running a 970 I wouldn't expect to play over medium. Some menu UI buttons aren't toggled correctly. The reload system for the pistol is one of two things. Haven't tried any other weapons yet. Auto reload; grip to drop…
