There’s a raid on a Gestapo Headquarters, a guns-blazing escape on the back of a supply truck through German hillside camps, a mission in a plane, and a harrowing venture on skis that are all very technically impressive. I’d put its depth of environments up there with Half-Life: Alyx, but Respawn also broke this game into a ton of smaller segments for what I feel was to better deliver the story. There are a few things that might explain that (because something should for a 170GB download). Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond’s campaign is broken up in to six core “Missions”, but those missions are also broken up into a multitude of instances rather than one seamless gameplay experience.Ībove and Beyond is maybe one of the most resource-heavy VR games I’ve seen. This includes missions that go deep within the French resistance against Gestapo forces in Normandy, into the skies in desperate aerial missions, and into the snow-covered forests, hills, and eventually cities of Germany itself. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is out right now: /D5Wrk6asLjĪs mentioned above, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond takes players back to the World War 2 setting of the franchise’s foundation. Be sure to check out my hands-on preview focused on the multiplayer mode for a more in-depth breakdown of it.
This review is going to mostly focus on features beyond Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond’s multiplayer component.
Though it doesn’t always aim true, it does remind us of what both the Medal of Honor franchise and VR playspace can do when they’re in passionate and quality hands. Above and Beyond is a game bathed in nostalgia for where the franchise came from while also implementing VR interaction in both thoughtful and visceral ways throughout.
#MEDAL OF HONOR UNDERGROUND PS1 REVIEW SERIES#
With Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, Respawn Entertainment took the reigns of the series to not only move it forward with entry into the VR space, but return it back to the dramatic World War 2 setting where it all began. The franchise faded into obscurity as nearly everything that came after failed to capture the same lightning. Games that followed would continue to up the ante on what the franchise could do with arguably the climax being Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Back in 1999, Medal of Honor set the stage on the PS1 for dramatic military shooters.
