VR King Arthur’s Sword in Romano Britania
VR King Arthur’s Sword in Romano Britania’ is a slightly interactive experience in which you get to explore a handful of scenes trying to find a sword. Once you have found the sword you can move onto the next scene. The movement itself is extremely nauseating and there is no educational material here at all, it is just scene after scene. This is not something I can recommend to anyone because it lacks anything to suggest to people. It’s not fun, it’s not educational and the movement means it is not relaxing. This is one app I suggest you avoid, or maybe stab a sword into because that is what the developer should have done to it rather than releasing it.

VR Military Reporter in Middle East (with tanks & helicopters)
Let me promise you that the title of this experience ‘VR Military Reporter in Middle East (with tanks & helicopters)’ bears no resemblance as to what this experience is all about. In short, it is a small collection of non-Middle East areas that you explore with a drone or helicopter. There is no reporting, no action, almost nothing to interact with other than exploring the area while some annoying music plays in the background. I paid just £2.39 for this in a sale and I was bitterly disappointed, but if I had paid the full asking price of £3.99 I would be asking for a refund. Other than exploring some small areas there is no point in downloading this at all and it really should have been free.

VR Pirates of the Caribbean Life Experience
‘VR Pirates of the Caribbean Life Experience’ is a small collection of weird scenes, with an ever-so-slight connection to water. In fact, apart from them all featuring water in some way they are not linked in any way. They are not fun, they are not educational, not interesting and they are not relaxing. Once again this developer hammers a nail into PCVR’s death with yet another app that makes it looks pointless. To say I don’t recommend this (or anything this developer makes) would be an understatement. Oh, and all the text was in Chinese anyway. I think it just goes to show an Oxford education isn’t worth shit.

VR Balloon Flying over Tokyo and Hokkaido
BE AWARE! This is not a game!
you can roam around as some kind of flying animal in different maps/scenery but all of them are very small.
I only keep this because of the “japanese style street” scenery.
Bamboo-Forest scenery woudl be nice, BUT there is a dfference in the water-refelction in left and right eye,
so no way to enjoy this.
It could be nice if the dev would invest more effort into beta-testing and bug fixing updates.

VR Modern Wars: Advance under air raid
Fair play games do not get much worse than ‘VR Modern Wars: Advance under air raid’. This tank controlling game has only two levels and all you need to do is to drive to the beam of light. Sometimes that beam of light is literally right next to you and other times it is a little further away. You can fire your gun and turret, but you really don’t have to. There is no challenge here, no fun…in fact, I can’t think of a reason why anyone would want to download this! Sure, it only costs £1.69, but you could buy a nice bottle of pop for that and have way more fun.

VR Nara Park
Having been to the real Nara Park in Japan in the past I kind of knew what I was respecting here and for the most part, it does kind of deliver what it needs to. This is a very small experience in which you can teleport around a small area of a virtual recreation of the real-world park. There is no movement turning here whatsoever and just teleport movement. So you will have to play in a swivel chair or play standing up. It looks OK I guess especially as you can play about with the time of day, but there is nothing here to justify the £7.19. You can’t interact with anything and there is only a small amount of educational material telling you all about the park. Some might find this relaxing I suppose, but I just found it a little overpriced and a little bit pointless. While I have given it a thumbs down if I could give it a neutral rating I would have.

The environment isn’t big
The game didn’t perform well with random bits of slowdown
Its teleport only with no turning buttons of any kind
I’ve seen at least one of the character models in other games
But I wont lie it was relaxing
It did have gorgeous views and audio
I enjoyed having NPCs and deer walking around
and it wasn’t expensive at all
VR Nara Park has issues and feels like an early access title in some ways
the grass for one looks horrible up close
I hope that the studio behind this can add smooth locomotion and smooth turning

MOONWAVE OVERDRIVE
Cool lore for a game that lets you drive +300km/h into oncoming traffic.
10 outta 10. Would drift again.

For anybody looking to add an additional cyberpunk game to your collection, this isn’t a terrible addition. As it stands right now, this game is playable, however there is a lot of room for improvement. As of writing, this game is on version 1.0 and was released shortly ago, so please consider this before passing off on this game!
I personally found my first playthrough of this to be rather enjoyable as I enjoy the cruising and driving aspect of the game even if I’m not making any progress. A few notes of improvement though I will recollect:

Hot Pot VR
I bought this game based on some of the reviews, but I will start off by saying this is THE BEST VR cooking game on the market, if you’re into simulation with a little bit of arcade. It reminds me of when I was in kindergarten playing with one of those life-sized toy kitchens with my classmates.
It’s not as intricate/frustrating as Cooking SImulator can be, but still PLENTY of recipes, ingredients and cooing techniques to keep you busy in EA. This is early access but it really is varied with lots of different recipes from all over the globe and feels satisfying in VR. I haven’t had it that long and the dev has made some QoL improvements thus far and I’m sure it’ll only get better. I highly recommend this game if you like Cooking Simulator and Overcooked.

Amazing idea, near amazing execution (so far). Now, I know it is an Early Access game, but sometimes it can be a bit weird. Sometimes, when cutting a piece of meat for example, it will have a really small piece I can cut, but the biggest piece is not possible to cut. Other than small nitpicks like that, this game is amazingly built and can only go up from here.

Lushfoil Photography Sim
Experience detailed, true-to-life recreations of various landmarks around the world. Each environment is authentically recreated using reference photos taken on location, and includes detail at both a small and large scale.
- Capture Every Detail
Use a realistically inspired DSLR to observe and capture the world around you. Includes an abunance of settings that you’d expect from a real-world professional camera, including Auto/Manual Focus, Exposure, Contrast, White Balance, Aperture and a selection of filters, for full creative control over your shooting. All photos are saved to your hard drive, like a collection of real photos.
- Leave no Stone Unturned
Objectives are not the first priority in the game, but it will reward the types of players who are patient, observant, and like to venture off the beaten path. Each environment is filled with Unlockables, Secret Objectives, Collectibles, and Easter eggs that not everyone will find.
- Smooth as Butter
Each environment is very efficiently optimised and doesn’t need the latest hardware to run. There are extensive custom settings that will help the game run on a wide range of systems, and will still take full advantage of high-end cards.
- VR Support
A Virtual Reality DLC will be released in Early Access shortly after the game comes out. I’m a huge advocate for VR and I would love to give everyone the opportunity to experience the level of immersion that VR offers.
