Rush of Blood actually takes the form of an on-rails carnival shooter, which fits the PlayStation VR device perfectly, because it doesn't do manual movement all that well. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is nothing like the original game, but that doesn't mean there aren't thrills to be had.
The original Until Dawn was a surprise hit on PS4, claiming many a victim with its blend of teen slasher horror cliches and choose-your-own-adventure gameplay. After all, is there any better selling point for VR than "Be the Batman?" Would that we could do something more engaging as him, in the future.The only way to avoid catastrophe is by communicating with each other - first calmly, and then by shouting panicky instructions when you've only got a minute left.Ī wonderfully tense multiplayer game that's perfect for parties, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a great example of the kind of unique experiences available in VR. The downside to this is that it kind of feels like early 3-D movies, where the plot keeps finding excuses to have somebody point a spear directly in the face of the viewer: the more mainstream VR gets, the cheesier this all will seem.įor now, though, it's a fun introduction to virtual reality, the sort of showpiece you can have your friends try on if they've never stepped into VR before. That's what Arkham VR seems to be, an experiment in trying things out that would only make sense in VR-manipulating small objects with two hands, exploring the fine details of a mystery, playing tricks of perspective. Things wrap up with a beautiful piece of psychological horror that would only work in virtual reality. Puzzles for everyone! As a puzzle fan, I'm starting to like this whole VR thing.
Once you finish the hour-long game, the Riddler will add a bunch of hidden objects to its levels, which you can seek out by being thorough in your investigations, or by solving more puzzles. In fact, that's predominantly what you're doing solving puzzles in the environment to find clues to advance the story. Surprisingly for a production that presumably is going for mainstream appeal, there's very little action gameplay in Arkham VR and many, many puzzles.
