Watch the Asgard's Wrath 2 World Premiere Trailer from The Game Awards 2023.
If you buy a new Meta Quest 3 you get a free copy of Asgard's Wrath 2. Originally ending in January, the deal has been extended into June.
WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "Overall, Asgard’s Wrath 2 is the epic ARPG that I’ve always wanted in VR. It doesn’t hold back in scope and depth of gameplay in order to fit into the traditional bite sized nature of a VR experience. This is a full fledged ARPG that will absorb you for hours. It was constantly putting a smile on my face as it throws new and fun things at me around every turn. From the frantic fights, to the fun and involved followers, to the godly puzzles and epic bosses, this game has it all. It even has fishing, and what is an RPG without being able to fish?"
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "2023 was a notable year for VR hardware, with both Sony's PSVR2 and Meta's Meta Quest 3 arriving on the scene. Both of them have primarily earned a considerable amount of praise for their technological advancements, but that's not to say their software output was extinct. Granted, early adoption tends to favor older ports with improved visuals and new controller/headset gimmicks; it comes with the territory. But within that flow of ports and updates came an exclusive for each respective platform reaching our shortlist. It's too early to tell if that presages a bountiful surplus of future masterclass VR games, but it's a welcoming sign all the same."
“Horizon Call of the Mountain” had more bells and whistles and has some wow moments for VR newbies. But I had more fun playing “Synapse”.
Have to say that the more I see about this game the more it feels like an amazing VR experience.
Most major VR YouTubers have been praising so let's hope it's the kind of game that will help put VR on the map.
My only bummer is that this game was the only VR game shown at the TGA while Sony PS VR was completely MIA.
