Virtual Reality is often seen as a solo experience and indeed, a lot of VR games on the market right now are just that.
Players are locked away from the real world, heads encased in a plastic helmet, arms twirling and pointing at imaginary targets. To any bystanders without the luxury of a share screen to look at, the whole thing definitely looks a bit silly. But for those inside the helmet? Well, it’s a new frontier of gaming, a way of immersing yourself in video games unlike any other, so it’s a shame that it’s still rather tricky to experience this as a group.
While there are plenty of PvP multiplayer games and VR chat apps out there that allow you to meet up and play with friends, pure, co-operative VR gaming experiences seem few and far between, which is why After the Fall feels like a breath of fresh (winter) air.
Is After The Fall Gameplay VR’s Answer To Left 4 Dead? – AFTER THE FALL REVIEW – Ian’s VR Corner Watch on YouTube
Although After the Fall can be played and enjoyed in solo, just like Left 4 Dead, the game that has so obviously inspired it, After the Fall has been designed with 4 player co-op in mind. Not only that but it’s also cross-play compatible across all major VR platforms, so that’s PC VR, Oculus (I still can’t bring myself to call it the M word) and Playstation VR.
