    I'd love something like Black and White in VR. That game and (to a lesser extent) it's sequel we're fantastic and would translate perfectly into VR. Casting spells using gestures still amazes me even now.

    I can’t for the life of me understand while we haven’t seen Black and White on VR yet. Someone make this or something like it happen. It’s a genre that would shine in VR.

    Thanks for making this Review, really love your reviews and the oldschool lens also helps :) I love populous so much, this looks like a good pickup and i feel like that more games like this will continue to come out. Can't say how awesome it would be to have a VR version of Syndicate/Syndicate Wars, that would be killer! Keep up the amazing work :)

    This game is sublime. Almost worth psvr2 in its own right. I bought this to sell the psvr2 to my wife. She’s taken over the damned thing and I’ve barely had a look in. I hope the devs continue to support the game over the coming months.

    You said this was a quest 2 port. This is not true. Its a PCVR port.
