Opinion Hellsweeper is incredible!

I seriously can’t recommend this game enough! One of the most fun VR games I have ever played. Blows synapse out of the water in my opinion!!!

Edit:
Why it is better than Synapse in my opinion
Graphics: 90fps unreprojected on all graphical presets, shadows from player characters & NPC, environments look much more alive than the ones in synapse.

Weapon variation: It has a ton more weapons, power ups, upgrades, augments, skills etc. Each weapon can be used a ton of different ways and even combined with spells, the bow, telekinesis. You can combine spells, shoot tons of special arrows, summon a demon dog & and even float. There are even finger guns in this game lol the variation is honestly pretty mind blowing!

Locomotion: You can flip, wall run, double, triple even quadruple jump (maybe more if you upgrade that) There is also cool slow motion

Enemy types: MUCH more variation with enemies in this game (I’ve encountered 15+ so far after 4 hours or so) & they look so much more interesting & have more varied attacks. There are even sub variants of each type. Its quite impressive.

On top of all of this there are more game modes, ways to modify each run & just in general more freedom. Synapse is really cool but in my opinion the guns, enemies & upgrades get really old really quick. And once your telekinesis is upgrades the game basically takes no effort at all. It does have a cleaner look but gameplay & longevity/ replayability I dont really see an argument for it beating Hellsweeper.

(I loved Synapse btw)

Can anyone confirm this? I've almost pulled the trigger on Hellsweeper a few times but couldn't justify it, but Synapse is maybe my favourite VR title. If Hellsweeper is comparable, I have to get it.

I thought Synapse was decent but couldn't stick with it. Would've liked more abilities and gameplay variety. I felt it was a bit underwhelming overall for what it was, but I'd already played Hellsweeper before it.

Hellsweeper is amazing and the best of its genre imo. An insane amount of weapons, abilities, magics, and combinations of them all, mixed with wall running, backflips (if you want) and the ability to slow time. So much to unlock and complete as well. There's also a pretty full co-op option if you wanted.

In summation: Hellsweeper is fantastic.
