Description: What if you had the power to go up to a gravestone, read the epitaph, and transport yourself into the lives of the departed? Your body may be gone, but your life has just begun. In death, you will find yourself on a journey across a series of mysterious lands, an afterlife filled with the thoughts and personalities of those long lost. Follow these forgotten stories, collect artifacts, solve puzzles, and discover secrets as you make your own adventure through the mysteries of The Land Beyond.
Review: VR adventure games work best when there is just the peacefulness of exploring and interacting with the world, rather than shooting anything that moves and waiting for the next jump-scare. XING: The Land Beyond is a perfect example of this and its relaxed, slower-paced tone makes the game so much more enjoyable. While the motion controller integration is not the best the game works great with a Gamepad and you will soon find yourself engulfed by the beautiful scenery and wonderful storyline. This is how VR should be used and this game easily gets my recommendation even at full price. Yep, it’s worth every penny.
