Our take on The Path of Greatest Resistance
Rather than using one standard VR movement system, the game makes locomotion a central variation, including jogging in place and treadmill walking. Its mission structure also changes weapon access from one mission to the next, while Endless mode sits alongside the mission sequence.
What is The Path of Greatest Resistance?
Humanity's survivors hide in the rocky outer solar system after escaping Earth's destruction.
This VR shooter pits them against the Machine Alliance through structured missions and an Endless mode. Movement can follow fixed rails, use jogging in place, or support walking on an exercise treadmill. Missions include some procedurally generated elements, while weapon sets vary by mission. Equipment ranges from shields, pistols, blades, and plasma weapons to a TimeSaber that slows enemy fire, plasma swords that deflect shots, and MagneGuns that pull and launch robots. Missions also involve destroying crystal reactor cores and disabling doorway lasers. Less Difficult Mode can unlock Least Difficult Mode after repeated failures, and cheating settings can open missions early.
