Winner: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
The Best VR Game of 2017
Horror games are a staple in the VR world. With the immersion heightened and the atmosphere emphasised, the scares are more effective. It’s no surprise that one of the best horror games of the year makes for an incredible VR experience, then. Not only is it one of the longest games available in virtual reality, but it is also one of the most enjoyable and best-looking.
Exploring the Baker house is a tense experience. Every creak of a door, every maniacal scream, and every gust of wind is terrifying. As you creep round the house, trying to stay away from its crazy inhabitants, your heart begins to race. By donning the VR headset you’re fully immersed into the world and the fear that consumes your character begins to consume you too. When you’re faced by members of the Baker family, such as when you’re around the kitchen table early in the game, your character begins to breath heavily and that fear is transferred to you. The enemies are menacing and the combat is tough, but it is the detailed setting and creepy atmosphere that make Resident Evil 7 the best VR game of 2017.
