Gambit! on Meta Quest 2: XREAL's 4-player looter shooter, marketed as 20 hours but delivering about 4.
Monotonous wave-shooter levels, vapid unique weapons, and a multiplayer mode Pete couldn't find another player in.
Gambit! is XREAL's 4-player looter shooter on Meta Quest 2, marketed as a 20-plus hour campaign that ships as about 4 hours of monotonous wave-shooter content plus a vague roadmap. Pete calls out the marketing up front, then pulls the game apart mission by mission - vapid unique weapons, no stakes, muddy art direction, and a multiplayer mode he could not find a single other player in across four peak-time attempts. 4 out of 10, incompetent.

The Quest headset Pete reviewed Gambit on. Still our default Quest recommendation, unlike the game.

BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Combo
Hot-swap battery halo strap, so at least the hardware keeps going when the game doesn't.

AMVR Controller Grips for Quest 3
Non-slip silicone with a knuckle strap for the inevitable better shooter you'll be playing instead.
