A masterpiece 10/10. You don't get a better recommendation than this and playing it in VR we're in for a treat . Can't wait to play this 2 Moro. Dec15th 2023.

This is a must-buy for the Q3. I just finished it and it took me a bit to get into it, but glad I stuck with it. It has so much too offer! Just don't get overwhelmed by all the items and notifications - you can mostly ignore them. It's a long game! Amazing environments, puzzles, and combat!

I told myself "just one session" oh boi was I not disappointed. I got aw2 with the quest plus subscription which convinced me to keep it, pretty much all these developers deserve their fair share for making magic games like this. Truly nothing else to say other than congratulations you did it and I shall remain a strong supporter of this studio!
Get the quest 3. Quest 2 is dated and will stop receiving support soon enough. The quest 3 is far better. Dont sell yourself short. Hardware matters in VR. You won't be disappointed.
@@W-C-F-o1kso wrong, this is a quest 3 seller, it comes with every quest 3 for a reason. That’s why the quest 2 version wasn’t even mentioned in this review, as that version is an afterthought for the game this big.
You just watched the video for the game. So you should know. Unless he was playing on Q3. That he didn't mention in the video. Even if its not optimized for Q3 yet. Its still gonna look better on Q3 vs Q2. the lenses along having more clarity and resolution.
The game has been in development fully focused for Quest 2 for 4 years now. The game was made for that platform and looks and runs great on it. The visuals on Quest 3 are actually the same for now as it was not yet enhanced
Wow a 10? That basically makes Asgard’s Wrath 2 one of the best video game launch titles ever made especially that it comes with every single meta quest 3 bought into the new year

It's been nearly 4 years since Valve blew our minds with Half Life Alyx, it's crazy to see how far we've come. Given how many recent AAA PC/Console games have been massively underwhelming in recent years it's actually refreshing to see the world of VR gaming thriving. Shame that it's Meta running things right now, but hopefully this kind of innovation will inspire other companies to catch up.
I love this game i played 2 hours and i had to take a break cuz my eyes were getting sore so later im playing more it's really good no wonder this game is game of the year for VR in 2023.

This should be the standard for all VR games. Glad VR is finally getting there in terms of gameplay. Everything has looked/played like a tech demo until this point.
@@DaveVoyles Most serious sims have vr modes that are incredible. From Classics like Assetto corsa, Automobilista 2 to No mans sky, MS Flight sim. Its worth buying vr just for those games. Its difficult to go back to a screen after experiencing decent VR. In terms of VR only games, VTOL, boneworks, Superhot, Walking dead etc are all excellent. Plenty coming in the future like Geronimo. There are tonnes of product. The only reason not to use VR would be if you're poor or want to play strategy games or things like GTA. VR will become on of the standard gaming interfaces in the coming decade or so.
That would be so amazing. Imagine wearing that portable card hologram generator on your wrist or playing on one of those hologram arenas and seeing the monsters actually fight each other in front of you like in the show.
Such a smart promotion to run. Now the Asgard's wrath series is looking to become a household name in VR gaming as long as they keep it up in future releases.
