Yep, this basically is the VR Myst, no need to hold off.
It’s of course compromised in all the usual ways 2018 VR typically is, but if you want a Myst style adventure in an expensive, low res vomit inducing uncomfortable headset, have at it! (I say this as a very disgruntled Oculus Rift + Touch owner...)
Kind of fitting that Myst was at the edge of technological capability back then, stretching cdrom tech. Now we are at the ‘barely able to do it cheaply’ stage for VR bringing it back to that medium or Cyan doing something in VR like the old days we need imagination from the players too, letting imperfections slide as long as the story is there.
I didn’t play it in vr so I have no clue how good it is but it was a fantastic game even without vr. Very pretty. I have a dev kit 2 and it does cause me some nausea in some early demos. The new standalone oculus seems compelling and I might pick that up.
That's my big problem with VR right now. I love it, but I can't wear any of the existing headsets for more than 5-10 min without a day-long headache. I've always been sensitive to this kind of thing (I couldn't play portal, even on a computer screen). I'll keep an eye on this game, though. Maybe when the headsets get better.
