Budget Cuts

“Budget Cuts is a great title, with substantial story and meaty, challenging gameplay, and an entertaining style, but it does suffer from some significant performance problems that do detract from the experience. Budget Cuts could be elevated from good to utterly brilliant if it is given a little more time in the oven to bake in and correct the issues.” – Read VRFocus’ Staff Writer Rebecca Hills-Duty preview of Budget Cuts.

Please, Don’t Touch Anything

“Theoretically, you can see everything Please, Don’t Touch Anything has to offer in less than an hour and, at present, there’s little reason to return beyond that. However, the puzzle challenges get increasingly convoluted once you’ve broken everything once and found clues to what should (or could) be coming next. It’s still unlikely to take you more than an evening to find all 30 of Please, Don’t Touch Anything’s endings, but it’s a journey that will remain with you due to it’s constantly evolving nature and it’s return to 0 upon every completion.” – Read VRFocus’ Editor Kevin Joyce’s review of Please, Don’t Touch Anything

Red Matter

“All in all, Red Matter is a very high calibre VR experience, neatly weaving its story and puzzle elements together.

Worlds at War Multi-Vehicular Mayhem Comes to Oculus Store

Last week indie developer Muddy Pixel released its first virtual reality (VR) title via Steam Early Access, Worlds at War. The action packed, vehicle-based experience has now arrived on Oculus Store, saving Oculus Rift owners a little bit of cash in the process.

Worlds at War

A purely single-player experience, Worlds at War puts you in the aftermath of an alien invasion – rather than at the start like most. As part of what’s left of a small carrier group left to roam the oceans – as presumably everyone else has been wiped out – it’s up to you and your crew to continue the fight, using the pilotable aircraft, helicopters and boats that are still left.

Using one of these three vehicles you need to protect the carrier group from an onslaught of alien attacks, learning how best to use each of their specialist features to prevail. In its current early access form Worlds at War has the three vehicles to use in the main horde mode plus a free flight mode to get used to their handling characteristics.

As development continues Muddy Pixel has plans to add a couple of levels, aircraft, enemies and weapons to expand the gameplay. “Visually it is nearly finished, though the UI lacks some polish. Mainly the game needs some more variety, which is where your feedback comes in,” notes the team.

Worlds at War

The studio is open about the comfort of the experience, saying that: “This is an intense experience, with smooth movement and rotation of player-camera. Stay in external views if you are sensitive to VR-nausea. If you are very sensitive, this may not the game for you in VR.”

Worlds at War is available through Early Access Oculus Store for £12.99 GBP, and it’s worth noting the title only supports a gamepad, not Oculus Touch. On Steam the vidogame also support HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, retailing for £13.49. For any further update to Worlds at War, keep reading VRFocus.

Worlds at War Is An Intense Vehicular Action Game With Alien Combat

Worlds at War Is An Intense Vehicular Action Game With Alien Combat

We’re still waiting for Ace Combat 7 to fly onto our PSVR headsets, but the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows VR headsets are getting a promising contender this month.

Worlds at War from developer Muddy Pixel is releasing in Early Access later on in February, and it looks like a lot of fun. In the game, you pilot aircraft, helicopters and boats, leading them into battle against enormous alien spacecraft in horde-style gameplay. Set in the aftermath of the invasion of Earth, you’ll sit in the cockpit of each vehicle and weave through the gunfire and explosions as you fend off the enemy.

When it launches in pre-release this month the game will feature three scenarios and each vehicle type, though more are planned for launch throughout the Early Access phase which is expected to last for a few months. The game’s also due to a tune-up in the visuals department (though it looks pretty sharp as is).

Right now the experience is single-player-only and played with a controller or mouse and keyboard. It’s inspired by classic arcade games and reminds us just a bit of the Rage Software classic, Incoming, which is no bad thing.
