| #224 | Is Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond on Meta Quest a Underrated Gem? | 06 Feb 2026 | 01:39:00 | |
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is one of the most expensive VR projects to date, available on PCVR and Meta Quest, it’s a game that got hit with a bad launch. Fast forward 5 years, does it play better now? Does it hold up? And is it a VR hidden gem, which is often overlooked due to its poor initial launch? You’re damn right it is, we dive deep into the history of this game, and how it plays today in 2026, it’s a VR masterpiece.
