WRATH: Aeon of Ruin VR – Brutal Edition Review: UploadVR Scores It 3.5/5

UploadVR has published its review of WRATH: Aeon of Ruin VR – Brutal Edition, with reviewer Diego Nicolás Argüello testing the PlayStation VR2 version of Team Beef and Flat2VR Studios' rebuild of the Quake-powered boomer shooter. The verdict: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The review is complimentary of the adaptation's ambition, calling out the robust level design across graveyards, catacombs, forests, and ancient ruins, along with VR-specific additions like dual-wielding, gesture-based reloading, ground slides, and a dual-blade melee system with a protective crossing block. Argüello frames it as a strong, modernized take on the retro aesthetic the original built its reputation on.

Where the review pulls back is pace. “For a shooter that pays tribute to titles that excelled at keeping you moving at all times, I felt like Wrath was constantly slowing me down,” Argüello writes, pointing to distant-target aiming issues, reload animations that lack snap during intense fights, and a tendency for the game to reward hiding behind cover over forward momentum. The conclusion lands on a valiant effort that's worth experiencing, even if it doesn't fully match the breakneck rhythm of the boomer-shooter genre it's adapting.
