Description: Get right inside the world of Minecraft with virtual reality. Build, explore and battle mobs – do all the things you know and love – but from a fresh perspective. With a VR headset on, coming face-to-face with monstrous mobs takes on new meaning; creeping into dark caves inspires even greater trepidation thanks to 3D audio; and the light of a gorgeous sunrise seems to envelop you more completely.
Review: Minecraft in VR was something that was always going to work extremely well. With its large open worlds, you can explore to your heart’s content even if you don’t know how to play the game, you can simply explore other peoples creations. Having said that I can’t suggest anyone wanting to get into VR games or Minecraft play this version. For learning the VR version simply doesn’t have the level of control you need and the nausea factor also means anyone new to VR should avoid it. But for players who already play Minecraft and want to see their worlds, their creations in a whole new way, to play this version will make you love VR and want to see more VR worlds. This isn’t a new, exciting version of the game its the same old thing bend out of shape to fit into VR, but it works as well you won’t care for the game itself, you will just be happy to have an endless virtual world to find adventures in.
