Review: There is only one way to sum up my feelings when I first started playing iOmoon, and that is WOW! If you are looking for something that reminds you why you paid so much for a VR headset, iOmoon will do it. The start looks like some sort of cut scene and then when you crash onto the surface you are presented with the feeling that you really are out on an adventure. There isn’t much in the way of freedom (in fact the game is quite linear) but in VR you don’t notice it, you are far too busy looking open-jawed at everything and trying to survive the deadly planet. The sense of wonder and adventure you get as you slowly roll around the planet is so immersive that it was disappointing having to every take the headset off! At times, its amazing, other times is quite scary but it is always well worth downloading.
