Virtual Reality: A more in depth review

Tweet

So now that I've had some more time to spend with the Oculus Quest 2 I can write a more detailed review. Observations: Alright. You gotta have the goggles on in just the right spot on your face, and fairly snugly - otherwise it gets blurry. It's not the biggest deal to re-adjust but it's worth noting. It's a money grab. Sure, there are a few brief experiences for free , and there are a few demos so you can see if you would like the full version of the game, but almost everything costs. Not everything comes with a free trial - so you kind of got to have a pretty good idea if you would like it or not. Now , the nice thing is that there is a return policy - if you have owned it less than a month and played it less than 2 hours worth... you can go through a sort of difficult to find return process and get your money back. So that's a good thing, but I feel like this would be solved by offering demos on more stuff. Call me boring. Games don't SUPER interest me. I would love something where you could just walk around and explore. There are "Virtual Environments" - these are sort of like background images or wallpapers. They are your "home screen" so to say. There's maybe a dozen of them - Ski cabin, northern lights dome, cyber house, etc.... they are highly detailed, animated. I would love if I could actually walk around in there and pick things up, do things.... etc... Battery life is about 2 hours. But then you maybe don't want to play longer than 2 hours, anyway given the eye ache .... There are a handful of apps I like and over all I'm happy I did it, though I'm also happy I didn't spend too much more on it. I think this will help to somewhat help me retain whatever shreds of sanity I still have since I'm going back to isolating moreso. Image : Pixabay user Surprising_Shots
