I finally got my hands on a PlayStation 5. The first game I played was Stray, which has to be one of the most enjoyable non-vr games I’ve played since Fire Watch. Playing this with the new Duel Sense controller and spatial audio was amazing. Seeing such a great implementation of this tech on PS5…
Note: This post was written for a friend who recently got a Meta Quest 2. I decided to post it here just in case someone else finds it useful. This is not a tutorial or a set of technical instructions. It’s just a list of things to check out in and around VR. Hardware &…
I’ve had this in my PS4 library for a while now and finally made some time to play it. Interesting puzzles, weird story, and an art style that I appreciate. This game is definitely my jam. Here are a few of my favorite photos and videos from the game.
Few VR games have surpassed the simple stylized beauty of Land’s End. Low Poly geometry, noise textures, colorful materials, water, and great lighting all contribute to making these bits feel like a place. I’ve played this on Go many times. It’s something to reach for when I want to clear my head or have something…
With the recent announcement of Red Matter 2, I decided to revisit this game on Quest. Red Matter was one of the first games I bought for the Oculus Quest in 2019. It’s made by the same developers who made Daedalus. I was impressed by it back then and I’m just as impressed now nearly…
My first visit to Hyperbolica in VR was one of the most surreal experiences I’ve had so far. Here are a few things I found.
This week I revisited Daedalus on Oculus Go to capture a few photos and videos for my archive. This is one of my favorite VR games from the 3DOF era. I’ve spent many hours here over the years and every time I visit it is magical. I’ve solved hard problems and made big decisions while…
Achievement unlocked? I finally completed the classic that has inspired so many games over the past three decades. To be honest, I never played Myst in the 90s. I didn’t have access to a computer until the early 2000s and by the time I got one, I never really used it for gaming. I spent…
This has been sitting patiently in my Rift library, just waiting for me to play through it. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that this seems like a puzzle game but it’s really all about story. It’s not a story that feels super important or interesting until you finish it. I urge you to…
Continuing my progress through my SteamVR library, this week I finally got around to playing The Gallery: Heart of the Emberstone. I first played Chapter 1 (The Gallery: Call of the Starseed) in 2017 shortly after getting my Vive. I think this was even part of the bundle of games I received with the Vive….
I have a few cat games in my SteamVR library. Some of them are little more than a joke or simple game mechanic, others have a bit more going for them. Kittypocalypse Link A strategic tower defense game that featured attaching hordes of alien cats. Out of everything on the list, this was the game…
I saw this in the list of home environments in SteamVR and tried it out. I wasn’t expecting it to be so huge and have so many details.
