The Big Releases
Voltron: VR Chronicles, from Digital Domain
Price: $14.99 (Rift)
Based on the ongoing Netflix cartoon, Voltron: VR Chronicles is essentially an episode of the show played out in VR. You take on the role of one of the mech-commanding paladins and journey across the galaxy in a polished, if brief adventure. Splendid visuals and authenticity help make up for one big oversight.
Recommendation: Fans of the cartoon will love it.
Cirque du Soleil, from Felix and Paul Studios
Price: Free (Rift)
The famed immersive filmmaking studio this week debuts its Cirque du Soleil content on PC-based headsets. Get a first-class ticket to some of the most spectacular acrobatics on the planet, all performed as if you were really there.
Recommendation: A great free download.
DWVR, from Mad Triangles
Price: $14.99 (Rift, currently discounted)
For those looking for a little shooter action this week, DWVR promises a Doom-esque adventure with big guns and demonic enemies. Finally moving out of early access, the game’s aim is to make you feel like a true badass, destroying enemies with enormous swords and more.
Recommendation: FPS fans should scoop it up.
Cloudborn, from Logtown Studios AB
Price: $14.99 (Rift, currently discounted)
An early access release of an intriguing-looking VR adventure in which you navigate ancient ruins by climbing along their beautiful remains. It looks like a cross between Windlands and The Climb, and that’s no bad thing.
Recommendation: A good one to support early on.
