Analysis of Edge of Nowhere for Oculus Rift

Edge Of Nowhere
Edge of Nowhere is an action game, adventure and terror set in the mountains of Antarctica. Available exclusively Oculus Rift, today we give our opinion on it.

Edge of NowhereIt has been one of the last games to reach the Oculus Rift shop, and did so after long being one of the most anticipated. And the game Insomniac Games was one of the exclusive entrées for Oculus Rift, which after his release and subsequent test, we will tell you a bit more about it and give you our impressions.

The first thing to keep in mind is thatEdge of Nowhere is a game in 3rd person, Proving again that these games get along very well with the Virtual Reality (unlike what many thought at first). Knowing this, we find a game adventure, platforms and action, Set in the mountains of Antarctica, where we have to find a lost expedition in which it participated the wife of the protagonist.

With this backdrop, theirfrozen scenes, caves, waterfalls, penguins and mountains will witness the lost expedition it has not gone away just because ... And the area where our plane crashing just seems to have its own life, meeting with all sorts of creatures that will give us moments action, persecution and terror stealth.

Virtual reality

The game uses virtual reality in various ways, the main one being power look around from the back of the character (And considering that the camera is in a fixed position). As we move forward, our focus will serve to use the flashlight or pointing the gun, Having only to look a certain point so that the character will too.

Gameplay

On one hand, Edge of Nowhere has reminded us the last game Lara Croft, where jump, shoot, we will use the peak and climb, pero en EoN la acción está más guionizada por «fases». Y es que aunque el juego se desarrolle sin pausas más que para cinemáticas o momentos concretos, cada parte del juego requerirá un tipo de acción diferente, separada por momentos de desplazamiento hasta una nueva zona donde una nueva mecánica de juego hará presencia.

Example: We walk to a cave where we have to go stealthily from seeing us enemies. We left the cave and walk to the next area where we have to climb and jump from side to side. Just climbing area and into another cave, where we have to eliminate several enemies. Once removed, we will walk or climb to another area. In this new area we will have to escape from an enemy ambush. When we overcome to walk to ....

And so on. For nothing is a negative, but You do not expect a game with an open world and freedom of action.

Control

Its control via the Xbox One is very correct, having to worry about moving the character, run, attack or shoot. All very well explained in the beginning as an introduction-tutorial. The camera will be controlled by the viewer Oculus, having only to look to one side or another.

Edge of Nowhere is not intended to be played with Oculus Touch, so unlike other games will be compatible doubt that when available.

Edge Of Nowhere

Graphics

The graphics, while not the best in the world today, are quite adequate, with Special mention to lighting and particles. Similarly animations of the characters are quite well achieved, so that the whole experience is very correct and fluid.

Sound and languages

The sound is very well implemented, Really feeling that we are surrounded by unknown elements, and listening perfectly located noises. This will make the dive is perfect and right at every moment of the game.

Edge of Nowherem available voices different languages and although the Castilian of Spain is not among the voices to choose from, yes it is Mexican, being perfectly correct to understand all conversations and daily we meet during the game.

Edge Of Nowhere

Length and difficulty

The duration of the games that are coming to Virtual Reality is not very high, either that are taking quickly to harness the pull or because developers think that many hours with a viewer position can become tiresome, either as in Edge of Nowhere we find lasting 5-10 hoursDepending on your chosen difficulty and rhythm.

In the Normal difficulty you will not find a particularly difficult game, perfect to play it without strain (although surely die, you die, and I advised ...), But if what you seek is a major challenge, empezadlo directly on Hard.

Yes, and I advised that it is not a particularly replayable game because it has no secrets and collectibles that allow replay to collect them all.

Edge Of Nowhere

conclusion

  • We recommend it if you are looking for an action game, adventure and terror, with a disturbing story, good graphics, very entertaining and a good basic use of Virtual Reality.
  • We do not recommend if you thought Edge of Nowhere was a free play in an open world many hours.
