Description: You’re alone in the desert with an endless supply of fireworks. Stand below a starry night sky as you launch waves of explosives up into the air. Fireworks Desert Blast is a technical demo designed for the HTC Vive that introduces players of all ages and skills to virtual reality. The demo offers light sandbox gameplay for players to explore their physical space and experiment with the physics engine. This is a great introduction for players who are new to VR.
Review: Fireworks Desert Blast captures all I love about VR. It isn’t a game, it is barely an interactive experiance and it is bare-bones raw (especially when it comes to its graphics). But yet, I love it. It’s relaxing, its fun, it a little bit of escapism and only in VR could something like this work. Do bear in mind that it is free and you really shouldn’t expect that much. But it is fun for a little while and oddly relaxing, so do give it a go yourself.
