Description: How We Soar is a VR flight experience that lets you take up the reins of a beautiful, giant Phoenix and explore an enchanting papercraft world. Seated on the back of this mythical creature, fly throughout the diaries and works of the ‘Author’. Reconstruct and bring life to the pages of his creations, uncovering his personal story as you soar.

Review: How We Soar is a bird flying game that might sound like a very similar idea to Eagle Flight, but ‘How We Soar’ offers something different to the classic bird flight game in the way that this time around you are riding the bird. To be honest this game has a lot more storyline going on with a storybook tale that is straight from the fantasy books.

The idea is you fly around colouring in and learning about the stage you are on. You do this by collecting the little orbs that are everywhere as well as going through various rings that will grow and expand the world around you. There is sort of stages withing stages here, but the main essence of the game is to have fun exploring, there really isn’t anything to guide you, just your own line of sight that will probably go towards the various torn pages and dioramas that are placed everywhere.

This is much more a VR work of art than it is a serious game, but hidden under the dream-like scenes is a good adventure ahead. Those looking for a faster-paced, action game it is best to stick to Eagle Flight, but those looking for a slower-paced adventure game, this will definitely be the better option. Just don’t expect to understand everything that is going on, just enjoy it and explore.
