Description: DangerZone-VR (DZVR) takes block-based RPG to well beyond the next level. It is a modding platform built specifically to house the OreSpawn mod, but open to everyone who wishes to code and create. The interface is rude and crude and still needs a lot of TLC, but the game-play makes it just way too fun to put down. With over a dozen dimensions to explore, and hundreds of creatures and items, this game contains enough content to keep you busy exploring for weeks on end. Make no mistake, this is not just a small one-hour-playtime-then-done game. It is massive!

Review: There is no other way to describe ‘DangerZone VR’ other than calling it a cheap version of Minecraft. If this game was launched 10 years ago it might have been pretty good. But these days with the real version of Minecraft being playable in VR this is kind of pointless. While ‘DangerZone VR’ is OK to play it is not the most VR friendly at all (much like the game it is trying to copy) with the menus and options requiring mouse and keyboard movements. If you really love the original Minecraft and want to support a new VR developer give this a go, but there is no way I would recommend this to anyone unless it was 100% free.
