Best VR Games of September 2018
Windlands 2
The first Windlands game was quite disappointing. While the idea of swinging, all Spider-Man like, across some tropical locations seemed like a great idea for VR, the gameplay wasn’t as seamless as it needed to be to feel great. You can check out our Windlands review for our full thoughts on the first game.
Now, however, the sequel has released for Vive and Oculus systems and is an improvement over the first. It keeps the first person, grappling-hook focused gameplay, but adds in more variety to the experience. Get it right and the swinging can feel great, especially when you nail the particularly tough platforming sections.
It’s the addition of a bow weapon, adding combat to the mix, and the ability to play in co-op with up to four players that take it to the next level, though. It’s not without its gameplay flaws that can frustrate, but Windlands 2 feels like a more complete package than the first game.
