Asgard's Wrath 2 (2023 Video Game)
10/10
The one that walks, so others can run
20 December 2023
Quick review at the bottom. I LOVE RPG's. I'm very happy with my life, but stepping into the shoes of another character and making choices/managing inventory through a decent story will always be one of my favorite pastimes. I've had an Oculus Quest 2 for about 2 years. When I first bought it, it was all my roommate and I did. We'd spend so much time after work just hanging out in the living room and playing games like Rec Room, Arizona Sunshine, and Demeo. So many times, we'd talk about how solid an RPG would be on Oculus, or how cool it'd be if Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas was ported to it. There were games like Saints and Sinners and a township tale, but nothing to quench the thirst for a solid, true RPG. We spent a few months playing some solid VR games, but eventually, I put the headset down and let it collect dust while I played on my PS5. I plan on getting the PS5 VR headset, but I still wanted to get some use out of my $300 Oculus Quest 2 headset. Then, one beautiful day, I saw an ad for this game and in the 20-25 seconds they had to show, my $60 was in. This game is amazing. I can't do it justice. Even just watching reviews on it, you're seeing it all on a flat screen, but when you have the actual headset on and play it yourself, it's insane. It's the Persona 5 of VR games, as far as length. There's just so much to do and it's all interesting. It's not an emotional game, but it is SO satisfying to play and explore. Now, as far as how good this game is, I don't think it will go down as one of the greatest RPGs ever, but it's a step - no, a LEAP, in the right direction. This game is absolutely a banger 10/10. You're getting a full adventure you get to play on your own. I hope that other companies with good reputation/writers see this game, see what players want, and double down on delivering some revolutionary RPGs for VR. This game is a MUST HAVE for any Quest owners.

TLDR: 10/10 great gameplay, pretty good story. Played on Quest 2 (compatible and FREE with Quest 3) and it runs just fine.
