Description: X Rebirth VR Edition is the latest game in the X series and is based on X Rebirth: Home of Light. Every aspect of this game is tailored towards an immersive VR experience. The X Universe recovers from cataclysmic disaster. Though the future remains uncertain and threats are still aplenty across the Jump Gate Network, people are beginning to find their way. Having recently recovered the Albion Skunk from the hands of pirates, Ren Otani sets about rebuilding his beloved ship, using it in the never-ending search for opportunity and adventure…
Review: Say what you like about ‘X Rebirth VR Edition’ but the developers have listened, put their time, money and effort into making it as good as possible and I for one applaud that given the vast sea of games that never get updated or fully released. They have listened to peoples complaints about the game and have been proactive in fixing them or making them better and still today, they are updating the game constantly. This is not a game that you will get into straight away, but learn what you need to learn and keep experimenting and it will soon draw you into its vast worlds. It doesn’t have the depth nor range that Elite Dangerous has, but this is still well worth a look. It looks amazing, more gameplay length than any human could ever need and (once you get used to the controls) it feels deeply immersive. I for one love ‘X Rebirth VR Edition’ but I can understand people not enjoying it at the same time.
