Asgard's Wrath 2 Review

[@graescaleZ]

Everyone be sure to support this game if you have the means. We need titles like this to show more devs what is actually possible in a VR space. Let's keep growing!

[@kiwisoup]

Support? They are giving it out for free

[@graescaleZ]

@@kiwisoup yes, support. Via engagement. A lot of people are hesitant to enter the vr space due to a lack of triple A games. Here's a prime example of what can be done in vr with a team that understands the assignment. Only the numbers will speak here.

[@Dude_Slick]

@@kiwisoup No they're not. It cost $500.

[@RealWabled]

@@Dude_Slick The game is free not the headset if you get A quest 3 right now

[@Dude_Slick]

@@RealWabled "if you get A quest 3 right now" You don't just "get" a Quest 3. You have to buy it. The price to buy the game is $60, but the "free" version will run you $500. There is a difference free and included.

[@Fearmemaybe15]

The fact that this game is free when you buy a quest 3 is crazy

[@blastofo]

And Sony charged $50 if you wanted Horizon Call of the Mountain bundled with the headset. And that's a 6 hour game.

[@YoBrand15]

Yeah but id argue quest 3 is a bit overpriced.... don't get me wrong it's a great headset, and I'm not huge in MR so its probably more fairly priced if you use that, but there isn't enough proprietary from the quest 2 yet, and the quality control so far hasn't been the greatest. I'm personally on my 3rd exchange but hoping 3rd times a charm

Watch everyone scramble to get hold of a quest 2/3 or pro once they hear of this games unbeatable reviews as it's the only way to play it. It's a system seller make no mistake of that. When games are praised like this everyone wants to play it. Giving it free with a meta quest 3 was genius as it shows everyone the true potential of gaming in VR/AR and before long this will be how all games will want to be experienced as it transports you into in the game.

I was a little hesitant at first, I haven't had a lot of trust in good tripple a vr story games since assassin's creed nexus. I was also worried about my low storage. I told myself "just one session" oh boi was I not disappointed. I got aw2 with the quest plus subscription which convinced me to keep it, pretty much all these developers deserve their fair share for making magic games like this. Truly nothing else to say other than congratulations you did it and I shall remain a strong supporter of this studio!

It's been nearly 4 years since Valve blew our minds with Half Life Alyx, it's crazy to see how far we've come. Given how many recent AAA PC/Console games have been massively underwhelming in recent years it's actually refreshing to see the world of VR gaming thriving. Shame that it's Meta running things right now, but hopefully this kind of innovation will inspire other companies to catch up.

[@vijayvishwa6512]

Valve duped the customers by promising more games while Meta is trying to keep VR alive. valve index is 1000$ down the drain at this point.

@@Argethus This is far better than Skyrim VR. All the systems are made with VR in mind and it shows. No matter how much you mod Skyrim VR to work better for VR (and the mods are incredibly impressive), it's still not the same for a proper made for VR game.

[@jonathanbowen3640]

@@DaveVoyles Most serious sims have vr modes that are incredible. From Classics like Assetto corsa, Automobilista 2 to No mans sky, MS Flight sim. Its worth buying vr just for those games. Its difficult to go back to a screen after experiencing decent VR. In terms of VR only games, VTOL, boneworks, Superhot, Walking dead etc are all excellent. Plenty coming in the future like Geronimo. There are tonnes of product. The only reason not to use VR would be if you're poor or want to play strategy games or things like GTA. VR will become on of the standard gaming interfaces in the coming decade or so.

Something the review should have adressed is: how well does it run on quest 2?
