![]() Finding real life teammates isn't too hard either, there were loads of PS5 players online when I recorded my gameplay and the game hadn't even released properly at that point. It's definitely best played with friends, but I still had fun when I played by myself. One involves manual reloading for added immersion whilst the other is more arcade-like and perfectly suited to people like me who are prone to panic induced fumbles in the heat of the moment.Īs you can see from the VR Corner episode above, the AI teammates in After the Fall are fairly decent but they're still a bit clunky. Shooting the White Walker-esq 'Snowbreed' feels great, especially as you can dual wield pistols, and there are two different reload options to choose from. The action is just as accessible as the gameplay too, and if you've played a Left 4 Dead style game before, you'll hit the ground running here. That means it's just as easy to play sat down and wired up, as it would be wire-free and on your feet. Why so blue?Īlong with the ability to play on whichever platform you want and with what seems to be friction free cross-play between them all, After the Fall also comes with all the standard comfort options you'd expect from a modern VR release. Nevertheless, you'll get a great sense of how the game looks and plays while running on a PC VR headset like my Rift S (or should that be Meta Rift? I actually have no idea). And also I'd probably need to pay them or something. In this week's VR Corner, you'll be able to watch me play through the first level of After the Fall, but only in solo because what few friends I do have didn't have access to the game at the time of recording. Now you're out there, in the cold, fighting to survive as a team and when (if) you make it back alive, you've got friends with you who shared in that experience. You're no longer the loner in a helmet that looks a bit weird to those in the real world. ![]() To the right, another yells for help as a giant beast crushes them to the floor with an icy fist. Now when you look to your left you can see a real friend, hurriedly reloading their weapon as monsters bear down on them. Not only that but it's also cross-play compatible across all major VR platforms, so that's PC VR, Oculus (I still can't bring myself to call it the M word) and Playstation VR.Īnd it's a pretty great experience, truth be told, pulling in your pals (or a few of the many randoms who are playing right now) and working together as you take aim at wave after wave of iced zombies. Although After the Fall can be played and enjoyed in solo, just like Left 4 Dead, the game that has so obviously inspired it, After the Fall has been designed with 4 player co-op in mind.
