Panther VR is a sneak & stealth game for virtual reality, the kind where you have to complete assignments by stealing objects or data undetected.
Currently the game is still in early access and I had the opportunity to only play the first level, I am very curious about future levels of the game.
You will have to stay out of sight of guards and cameras while sneaking,
it is not a disaster if you are spotted, but you will have to hide well and/or prepare for the possible upcoming backup of the surveillance.
You can take out cameras or guards by shooting at them, or you can knock the guards unconscious with any meelee weapons,
but anyway it's not a bad idea to hide the bodies in containers, behind a corner or something like that
(you can sometimes also disable digital surveillance in different ways)
You also have a very useful tool that allows you to explore subsequent rooms without being physically present,
for example, you can use a two-wheeled drone that you can control with a tablet and where you can also see a live video image from a camera that is present on the drone.
You can also partially climb in the game or hide in closets.
The AI in the game isn't super easy, but it isn't super challenging at the moment either,
There was a moment where I shot guards inside an office space, because of this extra security came and who knew that I was hiding in the closet, also stood just in front of the closet to look at the closet, but can't open the closet,
since it's still early access at the moment, this will no doubt become stricter in the future, or possibly more difficult per stage, but I can't confirm that at the moment.
The virtual location(s) are also quite spacious and offer possibilities to get the job done via different routes and strategies,
So you will always have to figure out how to get to the location of the objective,
also it will be required to turn off the alarm first before taking what to steal,
The control panels of this alarm are spread over 2 places in the mission locations and you will have to disable it in both places, please note that some areas will also be guarded extra hard as these are important parts of your route.
What would really be ideal is a steam workshop where people can share maps & missions for other players.
An online Co-op mode for extra difficult assignments also seems very appropriate here.
In short, I think Panther VR is a very entertaining VR game with a lot of potential to make it very fun for a longer period of time, the first stage is already replayable anyway and I have no doubt that future stages will be too.
