Description: InCell is an action/racing game with a bit of strategy and science thrown into the mix in a rare and highly unusual microworld of the carefully recreated human cell. This is the right project to start your acquaintance with VR or receive new VR impressions. The game is focused on Virtual Reality but you can play just fine without a set.

Thanks to all robot-gods out there we will not take this journey alone –  our humble (with a tiny control-everyone mania) assistant is waiting for us (she is so sweet, isn’t she?). The Most Excellent Assistant Zero-Seven (she said that humans may refer to her simply as ‘Your Highness’). So the player’s task is to impress TMEAR07 with an experiment on a volunteer to unlock new healing technology for humanity. The problem is she doesn’t believe in that possibility because humans are simple and illogical (and she is genius… as always).

Review: From the makers of InMindVR comes yet another educational app disguised as fun. This time around you are racing alone some sort of strands within a human body. Once again you seem to be trying to cure something (although how you are curing something by racing is another subject).

Playing via a gamepad of just head movements the game often feels little slower than you might think, but that doesn’t stop it from making most people feel quite queazy. If you have ever wanted to play inside of the cockpit in F-Zero or maybe the classic PS1 game Wipeout this could well be the answer to your prayers.

Sadly for many people, InCell VR will be unplayable because of how nauseating it is. I never thought I would ever get used to VR sickness, but like many, many other people I just stuck with it and soon I was able to play a game like this for hours on end and have fun doing it. With some awesome graphics and pretty good sound as well, this is one of the very best free VR experience there is for the Vive and one that most people should at least try once.
