Oculus Rift - Reviews

This was a very impressive demo indeed. The game makes clever use of your roomscale play area (you need 2m x 2m minimum) so that you never need any artificial locomotion at all, you simply walk with your own two feet, which creates such a deep immersion that it feels like you are actually there,...

I saw this app and just had to have it. A VR museum has been high on my wishlist. I really loved the feel of the wide space and was keen to start roaming the rooms, only.. there are no paintings to be seen? I roamed around and could only see a handful. At my second attempt, I tried again...

Magnificent VR experience for the voice gamer and anybody finding about how our voice is a essential sound. I recommend a peak at what they do and you might be surprised how upscale the app is.

If you like beautiful vistas and learning new things with some gameplay, get Zen Universe. The graphics are pretty amazing and you can play around with the weather and the time of day. It's a bit on the educational side, but there's some solid story going on as well in the second location. For the...

Down the Rabbit Hole is a beautifully crafted adventure where you control a young girl as she ventures into a fantastical world based off of the Alice in Wonderland stories that we all know and love. The game is played in third-person, as you guide your character through each different level of the...

From the very first second I landed in the game, already armed with 2 clubs to whack my way through the starting menu options with, I knew that I was in for a good time. And a brief look around me at the fairytale landscape, with it's stone towers, mountains and trees, also told me that the game...

Having suddenly developed an interest for American Football (at least in a virtual sense) I looked up this game having seen it mentioned in a review, and then on seeing it was less than a pound on the Steam store, I quickly picked it up deciding to give it a try. Now having come from the wonderful...

When 2MD VR Football first came out on PCVR several years ago, it was not a game that instantly grabbed my attention. This is mainly because I'd never understood the big attraction for American Football, as being from England, I'd always considered anything with 'football' in the name, to be a...

Merry Snowballs has been around for many years now (2016), but it is still one of the best looking games in VR with its beautiful cartoon-like graphics and its wonderful atmospheric design and its over all level of polish. You really do feel like you are in a cartoon world at Christmas time,...

The Station VR was a somewhat short (around 2 hours) but quite enjoyable experience aboard a space station, so the whole game has you exploring various rooms and corridors trying to unravel a mystery by listening to audio logs that you find, along with other clues scattered about the station....

Growing up in the 70's and early 80's, we didn't have consoles, PC's, or the internet to keep us entertained, but what we did have was great television shows, and one of the most popular genres of the time was the good old gritty cop show, with such greats as Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice, The...

I vaguely remember having a go in canoe as a young child, and must have enjoyed it because I've always fancied doing it again. Well, now developers JumpStick have given me that very opportunity, albeit in a Kayak and at very high speeds, and I can tell you it's an absolute blast to play, with super...

The Morrigan - Where do I begin with this utterly fantastic game? perhaps I should start with the fact that the beautiful stylized graphics along with the music and sound created one of the most immersive and often spectacular dungeon crawling experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Or...

This game really caught me by suprise as I didn't expect it to be half as fun as it was. The gameplay (which is basically bowling your way around an 18 hole crazy-golf course) was insanely addictive and the game really did a good job of immersing me in its bizarre and fun world that the developers...

A pre-release review of Swords of Gargantua, which is currently in Open Beta at time of writing. This is not a review of the finished product, which will come shortly after full release. The sword play in this game is fantastic, and felt extremely realistic at times. I especially loved the...

I saw this recently on the Steam latest releases, and noticed that it was being offered free-to-play for 7 days, so I decided to download it and give it a try. You can check out the video on the VR Explorer YouTube channel if you want to see for yourself how the game plays out, otherwise, please...

A very enjoyable VR racing game with nice easy controls (simply leaning left or right to turn) good graphics, and fast, often exhilarating gameplay. Everything about the game was easy to pick up, and after a quick tutorial at the start I was up and racing in minutes. My first race was against 3...

The following review is based on a pre-release demo version of the game JetX, developed by Singularity Lab. I'm not sure when I first heard mention of the sci-fi racing game JetX, but it seems like it was at least a couple of years ago now when I first read about the concept and saw some early...

When I first saw the trailer for Beat Blaster, with it's neon graphics, pumping music and fast-paced gameplay with guns, I knew it was something I wanted to play, and as the launch of the game almost coincided with the launch of the VR Explorer website, I decided to reach out to the developers with...

I went into this game not knowing much about it at all, which is always nice, as you get more suprises and a better sense of adventure, especially in games like this where there is lots of exploration to do and creature encounters to be enjoyed. I knew there were dinosaurs, and that's about it....

From the moment the game started up, I was immediately wowed by it all. From the gorgeous scenery surrounding the beautiful tranquil lake I was on, to the wonderful ambient sounds of insects and birds all around, it was like a sudden soothing of all the senses, and I knew already that this game was...

Real Fishing VR has some fun elements and is quite polished over all, however, the lack of life-like physics applied to the line really spoils the immersion, and the casting the line out to sea has no real weight to it, so you can't control the cast and place the bait where you want. These two...

This demo is split into two parts, one part which is called 'VR Show' and is a passive showcase of big shiny very cool looking robots with big guns, alongside enormous Mechs which are seriously impressive. The other part of the demo is a playable level called 'Survival' which is OK but severely let...

This really well crafted though very short scifi experience seemed like it was a precursor/prologue to something much bigger to come, and I really really hope that is the case, as what there was is very impressive.

Got really excited when I first saw this on Steam, and it doesn't disappoint at all. Yes the graphics may be very rudimentary, and the game lacks even a main menu at this very early stage, but it's great fun and everything so far feels really well implemented - the controls, the flying and the...

A highly immersive World War 2 experience from the BBC, using actual audio recorded by a BBC reporter who bravely went out on a Lancaster bombing run over Berlin, recording the sights and sounds and emotions throughout. You're put inside the plane for the whole experience, which gives you a sense...

Excellent assortment of visuals though I found the controls a bit clumsy at times, over all though a really good VR visualiser app that I could have spent a lot more time in.

A short on-rails experience but one of the best visually and one of the most frightening.

A fantastic futuristic racer where you get to customise your racer and fly round tracks on Mars. Each track has it's own leaderboard and you can race against other players ghosts. One of the best racers out there, and the more you put in, the more rewarding it is.

A fairly good RPG. Grab it when it's on sale, you won't regret it

A fantastic experience through a music reactive alien landscape. It's only 7 minutes long but worth the download as it's free.

The first real popular music game on the Vive and still a firm family favourite. Great fun and highly addictive.

A fairly short experience outlining a proposal to get humans to Mars. Space aficionado's will love it. A great use or VR and well put together experience.

A pretty solid roller coaster experience and enjoyable ride (not too short) though it seems only 1 car/track is available for free, the rest (such as halloween) being paid DLC content. Enjoyed what there was and left me wanting more.

As a massive fan of the original Alien movies (1 & 2) and the game Alien Isolation on the PC, I was extremely excited to come across the Alien Isolation VR mod. However, although I completed the game a few years ago on the flat-screen and found it pretty terrifying even back then, in VR I just...

A fantastic scifi with many hours of exploration across a hostile alien planet. Can get quite tense and unsettling, and the weather effects are awesome. A must for sci-fi fans.

One of the first VR games that truly feels like a AAA production, with fantastic visuals and some really intense action-packed gameplay. Feeling of presence is sometimes incredible making it a favourite amongst me and my friends.

A beautiful experience where you find yourself inside one of the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. A very unique and creative use of VR, and although not much to it in the way of things to do, it is still one of my favourite little experiences and one I'd highly recommend.

Thirst is one of the few games that has given me that incredible feeling of 'total presence' on occasion, something a lot of VR games do not achieve. The action is fast, frenetic, and it often feels like being in a scene from a Mad Max movie. Highly recommended.

One of the most immersive experiences out there including the much talked about Whale encounter which was one of the first real showcases of VR. A great one to show people who have never experienced VR, and just an over all enjoyable experience of the beauty and wonder of life beneath the waves.
