AVICII Invector: Encore Edition VR Review

If you love rhythm games on the Oculus Quest 2 then you are certainly in for a treat. AVICII Invector: Encore Edition has hit the shop and brings with it the amazing songs of the late AVICII aka Tim Bergling. AVICII Invector: Encore Edition - Live The Rhythm!

After The Fall – Quest 2 Review

Welcome to my review of After The Fall. This is a new VR game and was developed and published by Vertigo Games (creators of Arizona sunshine). This is a game full of potential, especially when it is like Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood. A VR version of those games was definitely needed. Now I can actually feel like I'm there slaying the zombies in a snowy apocalypse. Left 4… Oh Wait, After The Fall As previously stated, the game structure is quite similar to Left 4 Dead and the likes. However, this is not a bad thing due to the increasing pressure of those games to come back. You know the ‘’old’’ go from A to B but have safe houses scattered in the middle. This is not a bad plot either, the safe houses in the middle can be used to spend your harvest (the currency dropped from zom...

Unplugged Review

Developed by Anotherway and published by Vertigo Games (known for Arizona Sunshine and After The Fall) Unplugged is a game that brings out your inner Wyld Stallyn. Death to all BUTT metal! I am not going to lie, when I found out about this title I was blown away with excitement. Guitar hero was one of my favourite music sim titles, and I love beat saber. Unplugged VR combines the two and I am hoping it brings its AAA game! Gameplay Unplugged is a VR title that brings you a guitar experience like no other. Obviously, there are other games that are similar, but the mechanics of Unplugged put this in a league of its own. To start off with it uses hand tracking, so there is no controller! Which on hearing about I was unnerved. However, I have to say works really well. I found it hard to ge...

Demolish & Build VR Review

Demolish, construct and grow your business! Developed and published by UltimateVR. You are thrown into the world of a construction simulator. Welcome to Demolish & Build VR Is it the foundations of something great or simply still half-built? Why not check out our previous review of Demolish & Build from the 2020 console edition here. Gameplay Following in the same footpath as the original PC and console versions we start at the Casino. The opening scenes are some communications between us and the oddly scripted "Boss" figure who seems to have the same amount of business knowledge as I actually do. We are given our first tasks and somewhat left to our own to get on with them. It starts simple enough, pull out wires and discard some stools in the skip. After completing this w...

Blair Witch: PCVR Edition Review

On November 20th 2020 I foolishly decided to review Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition. I was sort of nominated for it. Having scared myself silly while playing the game, the people over at TC HQ thought it would be a great idea for me to take a look at the Oculus Rift version as well! Blair Witch PCVR Edition - All the scares with more clarity! How is the Rift version in comparison to the Quest? Let's see what Bloober team got up to! Gameplay Running games on VR via your PC has both upsides and downsides. Better graphics are to be had however at a penalty of requiring a semi-decent graphics card. While the Quest is clearly the easiest VR unit to work with as it is standalone, it does suffer from the restrictions that are lifted by having a high-powered gaming rig. Of course, the Q...

Stride Review

Stride, developed and published by Joy Way, is a single-player VR parkour game that features a combat element to it. Out now on Oculus Quest 2, PCVR and Vive with PSVR coming at a later date, it is touted as a "high-octane parkour adventure in virtual reality" Stride, One hell of a way to keep fit! I'm not the best at motion games however on the Oculus Quest 2, Stride is listed as "Comfortable". Let's take this for a test! If you are playing this version or any of the early access versions, let us know what you think of it in the comments below! Gameplay When I think of parkour games, Mirror's Edge immediately comes to mind. Running, jumping, sliding, grappling and firing a gun nicely sums up Stride however there are a few more mechanics at work thanks to the wonderful Oculus Q...
