Play as Vecna in Stranger Things VR on PS VR2
Launching on December 5, you’ll play as the series antagonist Vecna as he “conquers unknown realities and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins,” according to the trailer’s video description on YouTube. The game is directly inspired by the popular Netflix series and gives a “never-before-seen perspective” from the villain.
The game is developed by Tender Claws, which has previously worked on the Virtual Virtual Reality series, The Under Presents Tempest, and The Under Presents Outside Time and Space. The developer has been known to give immersive cinematic experiences, which makes it perfect for the Stranger Things property in VR. A new trailer for the PSVR 2 port for Stranger Things VR dropped on Wednesday.
OpenCriticdoesn’t have an official rating on Stranger Things VR, but two of the reviews are a bit disappointing.Metro GameCentralgave it a three out of 10 score. “Somewhere between a non-interactive VR experience and a half-baked licensed game, the latest Stranger Things VR experience has neither a coherent storyline nor proper action,” said the review.The Daily Starliked the game more with a three out of five star review but said the game was a “missed opportunity.” Hopefully, the critical response is better when the game launches on PSVR 2.
