VR really works for this game! I'd say it's a game changer basically. I had a hard time putting the game down. When I wasn't playing it, I was looking forward to playing it again. Great game! Only criticism I have is that it's quite short. But then there's time challenges and "red coin" challenges. Especially the "red coin" challenges makes VR even more important to look back at the world to make sure you didn't miss any coins.
Loved that! The game is colorful, joyful, borrowing its mechanics leisurly from the genre's greatest. The controls feel completely natural, maybe not with The game is colorful, joyful, borrowing its mechanics leisurly from the genre's greatest. The controls feel completely natural, maybe not with pinpoint precision, but servicably close to it.
At any rate, when missing a jump, it doesn't feel like it's the game's fault, which is good. As for VR, the underground sections especially feel grippingly plastic, like it would exist right there in front of your eyes.
The overworld doesn't look too shabby either, with everything having an obvious polish about it. The game has a few neat touches as well, such as the character looking right into your direction, or falling onto his back when you get too close and personal with your head.
Overall, the game itself is solid, and essentially a free pack-in with the Oculus Rift. However, with all that said, this suffers from the same problem most of the launch games suffer from. There simply is no validation, no need for VR in it. The game would work without issues on a regular monitor, without losing out on anything.
A generic platformer that lacks any immersion and does nothing to showcase the possibilities of VR. Why would Oculus choose this of all things A generic platformer that lacks any immersion and does nothing to showcase the possibilities of VR.
Why would Oculus choose this of all things to bundle with the Rift, or to make Rift-exclusive? You could get the same experience using anaglyph 3D glasses. The mind, it boggles. As a platformer it's a decent if forgettable experience. As a launch title, it's utter garbage.
Essential Links. By Metascore By user score. All Current Games ». Forza Horizon 5. Chicory: A Colorful Tale. Psychonauts 2. The Forgotten City. It features hilarious foul mouthed dialog, a clever VR inside VR story and some brilliant novel puzzle solving.
The entire experience is designed to take you as far from reality as possible and overload your senses, we say this a lot here at VR Beginners Guide, but this is another experience that would only work in VR. Unfortunately you will have trouble with this one using the standard Oculus Touch setup, it requires a lot of space and you need to be able to turn in all directions so you might want to try the experimental room-scale setup.
A collection of games from Valve, apparently made during a crazy weekend bender and set in the Aperture Science Labs from the Portal games. The quality varies from game to game but some of them can really eat up a lot of time. Even just exploring the hub area is great fun and lets you see what Aperture science was like before the mysterious calamity took place.
And with Valve apparently refusing to make Half-Life 3 this may be the last chance we get to enter this world. These are non-interactive short films that happen all around you. From educational to musical masterpieces, many of these experiences are worth enjoying even for those familiar with the VR experience.
A great way to start your VR journey, all available on the Oculus Store. A brilliant little series of short demo scenes. These vignettes were designed to show off then-new features like eye-tracking and introduced the concept of an immersive VR presence.
The collection spans a variety of settings and themes and is still hailed as one of the best ways to show off the power of VR. Say hi to the T-rex for me. Nothing gives me confidence in VR as a true art form more than Dear Angelica.
Made entirely in the VR art app Quill, meaning everything is hand-painted, the story explores the way we remember people in our dreams. Featuring the vocal talents of Geena Dacis and Mae Whitman, the stunning story centers a mother and daughter. Scenes are drawn around you as the immersive tale progresses, individual strokes which render in real time. Put simply, this is an experience that could only work in VR.
One of the great Oculus Story Studios titles—the first, in fact. While there is little interactive experience, the scenes playing before you have a lot to explore visually.
You can look away to examine the environment, but the story will continue to progress. Watch it at least once all the way through before you explore the visuals too deeply.
Excellent sound production on this one. From the director of Madagascar, a cute little video that puts you in right in the action as one of the characters. What would happen if aliens came to conquer our world, but instead of landing among humanity they first discover… bunnies?!
Players are given control of one of the bunnies, who must overcome these not-so-imposing invaders. With quality animation and great comedic timing, Invasion is fun for the whole family. Narrated by Ethan Hawke. A personal favorite, this surreal music video was actually released for the Oculus DK2.
A pioneer in its time, Surge was one of the first real-time music videos produced for the VR experience. It will also be included for free with every retail Oculus Rift. Lucky's Tale is an impressive game that shows how well third-person games can work on the platform, and the act of moving your head around the environment to get a better look at each level and the challenges ahead for Lucky adds much to the experience.
It's one of those virtual reality experiences that's very hard to describe verbally, but is immediately intuitive once you put on the Rift and begin to play. Lucky's Tale isn't the only free game you'll be getting with your hardware; it was previously announced that Eve: Valkyrie will be a free download for customers who pre-order the headset.
