Google Daydream's First Sale Discounts Its Biggest And Best Games

Google Daydream's First Sale Discounts Its Biggest And Best Games

Google’s Play Store, the official marketplace for Android apps and more, is turning five this month, and to celebrate the company is doing a number of things. For fans of its new ecosystem, Google Daydream, it’s got a sale in store.

Just three games are discounted in Daydream’s first special promotion, but they’re worth taking note of. The first is Gunjack 2: End of the Shift [Review: 6/10], the sequel to the popular turret-based shooter set in CCP Games’ EVE universe. It’s down from $12.99 to $6.49, which we’d say definitely makes it worth a look. We liked a lot about Gunjack 2, even if the genre ultimately puts a limit on just how much fun you can have with it.

Also on offer is EA’s Need for Speed: No Limits VR, a VR port of the most recent take on the racing franchise for smartphones. It currently costs $7.99, down from $14.99. The game can be a pretty immersive racer when it wants to be, though it also struggles with its control scheme on the Daydream remote. Definitely worth checking out for racing fans, though.

Finally, we have VR’s best party game: Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes, down from $9.99 to $4.99. If there’s some chance you haven’t played this frantic experience yet then this is easily the pick of the litter; it’s a co-op game in which one person wears a Daydream headset and must diffuse a bomb based on the instructions of other players reading from a manual. Close teamwork is needed along with plenty of communication if you’re to survive. If you don’t have Daydream then it’s on pretty much every other headset under the sun too.

It’s a pretty reserved sale all things considered, missing some of the platform’s better games like Hunters Gate and Untethered, but it will do for now. As for new games? Google is currently lining up next exclusive titles like Lola and the Giant and a VR Rabbids game.
