Swarm, like games like Pikmin and Lemmings, deals with death in a much different way. Death is an inevitability, and will bring about defeat, but life is also expendable. So you killed a few dozen members of your swarm? No big deal! It’s okay! In order to make a great omelet, you have to break a few eggs. Not only does Swarm handle the preciousness of life in a much different way than traditional video games, it also rewards the player for allowing the little blob-like creatures, called swarmites, to die (accidentally, of course… right?).
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Last year, VGChartz introduced Best VR Game as a new category. It was mostly inspired by the eventual winner: Half-Life: Alyx. Although this year didn't introduce us to a platform-defining experience of that caliber, VR still had a commendable year. One ongoing trend for this platform has been rock-solid ports of older iconic titles, and 2021 was no exception on that front. As the medium progresses, so too does every developer's knowhow about it. These nominees were among the best examples of that in 2021."
RE4 VR is honestly a game changer for me. Getting to experience the world of that game in VR is so surreal and it’s the best version of RE4, in my opinion.
Lame. But then, vgchartz is a lame site with fake numbers.
How were the games nominated? Why not have categories? Why not by platforms? How were other games not even nominated at all like Song in the Smoke or Hitman?
Article just threw out some games and threw out a winner with nothing said at all about the nominations.
What about fracked or song in the smoke. Not played song in the smoke yet, but loved fracked.
Definitely looking forward to moss 2, the first was amazing.
VRFocus says: "Swarm’s gameplay is as bold as its visuals, and even in the casual setting provides a decent challenge that is instantly addictive."
"Today is a very good day if you just happen to like VR shooters. You see, I was just informed by Greensky Games (an indie VR games studio) that their arcade grappling VR shooter "SWARM" is coming to the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift platforms this Spring (2021)." - Robin Ek, TGG.
This does look pretty interesting... definately something I will check out in the coming months. Love the little blue dudes :D
