Jamie Feltham: "The best virtual reality (VR) titles have to be built from the ground up. Developers need to consider a wide array of aspects such as environmental design, movement speed, HUD and much, much more before they integrate the technology into their videogames. Everyone wants to make exceptions to that rule, however, even including the likes of Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) creator, Palmer Luckey, who once said he’d like to see No Man’s Sky in VR. One title that almost anyone that’s played would agree is perfect for VR? Gone Home."
Dave writes: "If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
Starting today, Drawful 2, Gone Home, Hob, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until April 9 at 10 AM. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
If you're a fan of the narrative-driven walking simulator genre, then these titles really need to be in your Switch games library.
