Panic Button / Electric Hat Games are doing a LOT of things right in this title.
TBH, when I heard the concept, a VR parkour platforming game… I wasn’t expecting too much.
An hour later, I’m hooked. This is a well designed-game that is fantastic for out of home VR.
The game taps in to a few things that VR does better than any other medium.
1. Sense of scale. You climb up absolutely massive structures… and it really feels huge. Throwing yourself across a chasm feels wild.
2. You can play with a friend. I raced a friend up a bizarre impressionist-inspired sculpture that was as tall as Mount Everest. Trying to keep up with someone else and following their movements is incredibly fun.
3. Unique movement. One thing I love about VR is how tactile it is. No more mashing buttons. One of my favorite methods of movement is reaching out with both hands and “dyno-ing”, where you basically launch yourself off a hold and fly through the air and try to stick a landing.
This game also hits a nice sweet spot for out of home entertainment. Easy to pick up, skill based, multiplayer and with tons of repeat-play potential.
