What is The Burst?

A single-player, first-person VR shooter set on a desert prison planet, where you hunt a warlord as convicts prepare to rebel. You fight gangs, climb and wall-run using your hands and body, drive a three-wheeled vehicle, and use a grappling hook to disarm enemies or pull them into pits.

+you want a solo story rather than multiplayer matches

Not for you if...

−you prefer slower action with little physical movement
