Review: ‘Alexandria – Port of Worlds’ is a collection of 3 360° films presented in a virtual port that reminds me of a sci-fi cathedral of sorts. You can get about via free-movement or teleport and the 360 videos themselves are nice and clear, with one of them being over 30minuets long, so there is more than enough content here to make it worth the download. It is also free which is probably a good thing as I can’t see many people paying for this sort of content. I personally enjoyed it, but 360° is a bit old-hat now and not the sort of VR content I was expecting to still see in 2022. But hey! It’s free, so do give it a go yourself.
