You can also run around normally if you have a stomach of steel, but Cyan has made each point you can hop to feel interesting and intentional, rather than just another dot on the path. The mechanics and pacing of the game didn’t need to be compromised at all to make it ideal for VR. You jump between set points in the world, then have time to look at your surroundings and take everything in. It feels like you are actually in and exploring a classic Myst world, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about physically leaning your body in toward something to get a better look.īut the reason Obduction really works well in VR is because the original Myst movement scheme was practically tailormade for Virtual Reality.

In Tom's review, he said that it “remains faithful to Myst without feeling dated,” and that goes doubly in VR.

It’s up to you to suss out how to take care of them using the few weapons and objects around you, all the while dodging, throwing, catching, and punching to stay alive. Everything comes to you, turning levels into bite-sized Matrix scenarios, where agent after agent is headed your way. Time only moves forward if you move, and while the original Superhot had you weaving in and out of bullets using traditional FPS movement and controls, in VR, you can’t run about. This can all happen within a few seconds or the span of three minutes-or however long you need to plan out the most efficient and action-movie-cool way of taking them all out. In Superhot VR, it’s possible to toss a brick at a man, knock his semi-auto pistol into the air, catch it, and bash him over the head with it before shooting three other men out of a helicopter behind you.

Not only does it make each zombie encounter slightly unique (and also fraught with apprehension) it also effectively communicates your personal journey as a survivor in The Walking Dead's world.Īfter the messy horror of that first kill, you'll be buzzing with nervous adrenaline, certain the odds are impossibly stacked against you. Saints and Sinners' nuanced simulation of knife/skull interaction is as remarkable as it is harrowing.
