I did not realise this whereas I used to be recording the video, however this week’s VR Nook topic, ConVRgence was made by the identical developer as one other sport that I beforehand featured in my Nook, Paradox of Hope.
‘Monkey-With-a-Bomb’, because the solo studio known as, launched Paradox of Hope in Early Entry precisely two years in the past this week and, whereas it was solely a slice of the total expertise, its Metro-inspired gameplay was apparent to see. So apparent in reality that Metro rights-owner PLAION (aka Embracer) slapped the developer with a take down order, presumably as a result of upcoming launch of the VR unique spin-off, Metro Awakening.
ConVRgence then is a clear slate for Monkey-With-a-Bomb and it’s a sport that, regardless of being set in the same post-apocalyptic world to Metro, is now distinctive sufficient to not warrant a slap on the wrist from some indignant males in fits. On this week’s VR Nook, you’ll be able to watch me check out the primary hour of the sport, which focuses on proceedural, single-player extraction shooter gameplay, combined with a heavy dose of practical gunplay too.
As you will see from my video it is a fairly enjoyable first hour, though I do marvel how rapidly that opening ‘storage’ space will turn out to be boring as it isn’t precisely essentially the most fascinating of locations to discover. Fortunately, to counter this, ConVRgence additionally contains a lovable canine companion who you’ll be able to scratch behind the ears, play fetch with and, most significantly, command to tear somebody’s throat out with a single whistle.
