At this year’s GDC, Hardcore Gamer had the opportunity to go hands-on with EPYKA, a VR adventure game that takes advantage of the medium like few other games have before it. Made by brand new Italian studio Singular Perception, EPYKA puts players in the shoes of Dr. Scott Hudson, a man looking to discover the secrets in the lost world of EPYKA — which at the beginning simply appears to be a small island, but the game has more than a few secrets hidden beneath the surface.
Orginally released for Meta Quest, colorful puzzle adventure Epyka is set to begin a new journey on PSVR 2 in June.
Duuro says: "Epyka is a game of unrealized potential. Its core ideas – archaeological exploration, mystical powers, and companionship with a loyal dog – are solid foundations for a VR adventure. Some puzzles show genuine creativity, and the affordable price point is a plus. But in the end, the technical issues, inconsistent puzzle design, and underdeveloped gameplay systems hold it back to recommend."
