The ability to walk around the virtual sets is a huge benefit of using Quest but the fact that the controllers are so accurate even more so. The Quest’s lack of power is clearly visible in some very low resolution textures and yet the overall effect is still stunning, with some very impressive virtual characters that feel believably solid and real. The sense of scale is extraordinary, as you stare up through your spaceship’s cockpit as a Star Destroyer looms into view or fly down to enter a giant underground city. ![]() It turns out you’re part of a bloodline that can unlock an ancient artefact on Mustafar (the lava planet from Revenge Of The Sith and Rogue One) that grants immortality. But what a 40 minutes that is.Ĭreated by a division of ILM, rather than a traditional game developer, the game is a stunning experience from the first second, as you play the role of a smuggler who unexpectedly finds themselves a captive of Darth Vader. Instead, it’s the start of an episodic series, the first of which offers barely 40 minutes of story gameplay. The jewel in Oculus Quest’s launch line-up isn’t available on any other headset, but it isn’t a full game. That will still limit what games can be released on it, but from this initial wave of titles that barely seems a problem. We reviewed the hardware itself last week and found that thanks to being completely wireless, roomscale tracking that can be set-up in seconds, and two very accurate Touch controllers, it more than compensates for its lack of graphical horsepower. Just because a game is available on Oculus Rift, or PlayStation VR, doesn’t mean it will work on the less powerful Quest, and yet it’s launch line-up of games is extremely impressive. Since the Oculus Quest is essentially a brand new video game format – a self-contained VR headset that doesn’t need to attach to a console or PC – that means it has to start from scratch with its games collection.

While there are many more games out now for Quest than when Robo Recall originally released, this is still a great showcase of what the Oculus hardware can do and it now has the benefit of play the rift version, too, which is free via Cross-buy, there’s no excuse not to have this in your collection.Vader Immortal: Episode I – impressive, most impressive The scoring system keeps you aiming for multipliers and acts as a good incentive to replay the game after its short runtime, something many games of this type really need to keep them from getting stale too quickly. There’s humour littered throughout the game, with dying enemies uttering some amusing phrases, though they do get repeated a little too often after a while. ![]() The enemies vary from larger and heavier robots to small spidery droids that are harder to shoot but go down easier. You movement is controlled by jumping to spots via the controller, which cuts out any motion sickness that you’d usually get from a more realistic movement system and it works well here as much of the time is spent on one spot, shooting at robots coming at you from all angles. The action is smooth and, like many other Quest ports, really benefits from the 360 degree movement, being able to look freely around the three arenas that form the levels for the game. You won’t be surprised to hear that there’s a big villain behind all this and he happens to be addicted to kitten videos.Ĭreated by Epic Games for Oculus and ported to Quest by Drifter Entertainment, Robo Recall: Unplugged has some obvious compromises in terms of the graphics when compared to the Rift version, which isn’t surprising considering that it’s often thought of as a tech demo for VR as much as it is a fun shooter but it’s surprising how good it still looks, even 9 months down the line. The game puts you in control of a ‘Recaller’ working for robot making company RoboReady, tasked with controlling a robot via a VR unit (VR within VR?) to fight of waves of their other robots that have gone bad (or just mad in some cases). ![]()
