Pavlov is a first-person VR shooter set in modern and WWII-era combat. Players take part in multiplayer matches, with options for offline play against bots.
Matches include Search and Destroy, Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Gun Game. Players handle and reload weapons in VR, operate multi-crew tanks, and communicate through proximity voice chat or radio.
Players can use developer-hosted lobbies or community-hosted dedicated servers. The game also includes a practice range and killhouse, plus a modkit for custom maps and game modes.
Reviews frequently praise the tactile VR shooting and weapon handling, and some players enjoy modes such as TTT and the social experience of playing with friends. Many also criticize the loss or reduced availability of community-made content and the scarcity of active lobbies; a smaller number report performance or control problems.
