Description: This game is the VR version of my other game “Long Sky”, which integrates all the optimizations of the latter and is completely re-created for VR control. In the game, players will come to the spacecraft, avoid meteorites and enemies in a 3D parallel battlefield.
Review: Games like ‘The Long Sky VR’ remind me that you don’t get a lot for £1.69 these days. The game is a very basic looking space-shooter in which you will be trying to avoid and indeed shooting asteroids. It does have a classic-retro game feel to it, but I don’t feel it captures anywhere near the fun those types of classic games offered. There is a high score I suppose, so you could always eke out a little more playtime by challenging friends, but I personally wouldn’t bother. It’s probably still worth playing given its small price point, but you get what you pay for here which is not a lot at all.
