Review: Having played ‘Song in the Smoke’ on the PSVR I was looking forward to seeing it on the Oculus Quest, but I have to say the game fell a little short of my own expectations. But don’t get me wrong, there is still one amazing adventure to be had here. If you like survival games you will feel right at home here and there are tonnes of crafting options to be enjoyed. While the graphics themselves are no better than the PSVR version I did feel there were a little darker on the Quest making the game a little harder to play and it is a hard game to play make no mistake. But I personally did enjoy playing it and do definitely recommend it, but I just feel some small changes could make the game so much better.
