As a sequel to the SteamVR Performance Test, I was eagerly awaiting the continuation of the story following it's tear-wrenching cliffhanger of a finale. Nevertheless, 'Are you ready for Valve Index?' failed to deliver any such gratification.

The story is bland and uninspired, lacking any resemblance to previous titles. Familiar characters are nowhere to be seen, adding a sense of horror, as all appears alien to the player. To be frank, one could argue that the storyline is non-existent. They would be correct.

There are however, some aspects that deserve credit. The controls are incredibly intuitive - due to the fact that there are no controls whatsoever. In addition, the game is shockingly short, which is a positive as I do not want to bear witness to any further defilement of the SteamVR franchise.

Despite being the SteamVR Performance Test's successor, it is apparent that Valve no longer cares about producing interactive, fun and emotional tales. The development team behind this game do not gain my respect, and I am utterly disappointed and heartbroken with this product.
