RAID VR Demo Shows 30-Minute Promise as 2-Player Combat Feels Too Safe

Summary
Steam Next Fest’s RAID VR demo delivers an easy-to-grasp customs-inspection loop, with scans leading to quick ship interceptions and a rank-4-to-rank-6 run lasting just over 30 minutes.
Combat is the weak point: most boarded ships confine players to a small rectangular zone, making firefights feel restrictive, easy and often over in under a minute.
Two-player co-op in the demo also raises questions about scale, because the full game targets four players and the cramped interception space already feels tight for one.
Full smuggler raids with multiple rooms show the game can support freer movement, which makes the more common checkpoint encounters feel even more constrained by comparison.
Quest pricing lists the game at $12.99, with a $9.99 preorder, and the review concludes the accessible sci-fi shooter is worth wishlisting if the final release deepens the action.
