Behind Border Zone
Three low-poly VR scenes with motion controller interactions, bare-bones objectives, and almost no community signal. Approach with very low expectations or skip entirely.
GamerScout Verdict
Hard to recommend even at the lowest price tier - three barely-interactive VR vignettes that feel unfinished and Oculus-hardware-locked.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Behind Border Zone
I went looking for something worth championing here, because that is genuinely what I do. Solo developers releasing VR experiments deserve a fair read, and Behind Border Zone from SoerGame got one. What came back was not encouraging. The structure is three separate world-vignettes, each loosely themed: one drops you into a pirate scenario on a jungle island where you hunt treasure using a map while evading a monster, and the others lean into the dystopian and cyberpunk aesthetic tags the developer attached to the listing. The tracked motion controller support is the technical centrepiece - you interact with objects in each scene using your hands, which is the baseline expectation for any VR title in 2022. The scenes are built in a low-poly style. That choice is not inherently a problem. Plenty of handcrafted low-poly worlds carry real personality. Here, the geometry reads more like placeholder art than a deliberate visual statement, and there is no cohesive soundscape threading the three environments into something that feels intentional. The mechanical depth is thin. Each vignette offers slight, surface-level interactions: pick things up, follow a basic objective prompt, move on. There is minimal written narrative and what text does exist is not enough to anchor you emotionally to any of the worlds. The pirate scene has the bones of tension - a lurking monster, a ticking-clock treasure hunt - but the execution does not sustain that premise for long. The dystopian and sci-fi zones feel similarly undercooked, more like mood boards than playable spaces. Compatibility is another hard wall. This is Oculus-hardware-focused, with no reported SteamVR headset support confirmed by outside reviewers. If you are not on Oculus hardware, this may simply not run for you at all, which is a significant caveat the store listing buries. I defend slow openers and rough edges regularly on this team, because craft sometimes hides behind a clunky first hour. Behind Border Zone does not have that quality underneath. It is a very early-stage effort, possibly a developer learning the tools, possibly a proof of concept that shipped before it was ready. As a curiosity at the very bottom of the VR price tier it is survivable. As anything resembling a satisfying experience, it falls well short of what even a single VR session deserves to be.
