Description: VR Rome reconstructs Rome city of 320 AD. You can walk in a continuous 2km * 2km play zone to visit the eternal city 1700 years ago. The reconstruction has archaeology and architecture materials supports, and in the game, you can view descriptions, photos and 1:500 models for each important buildings.
Review: As with any educational app, it won’t give value for money to the average gamer, but it might to someone who uses it for educational use or for research. ‘VR Rome’ is a pretty good 3D built of ancient Rome for sure and you can freely teleport around it learning what most of the buildings are. While I didn’t find it graphically as clear as Rome Reborn: The Roman Forum, it is still good enough to be enjoyable. If you are into this sort of thing do give this a look, otherwise, I would leave it in the past.
