Asgard’s Wrath 2 would be an enjoyable thrill-ride if it could only get out of its own way, yet every highlight was drowned out by missteps. Players new to VR gaming are likely to be quite impressed, but as someone who’s been into VR for a while, it’s tough to see past the problems and enjoy the parts that pop.

Asgard’s Wrath 2 still boasts an epic campaign that can take upwards of 70 hours to complete, chockful of numerous locales, lairs, and secrets to discover. Likewise, an infinitely replayable roguelike mode is waiting for you well after you're done with the campaign and the overworld areas. In spite of a few qualms, Asgard’s Wrath 2 remains an offering worthy of the gods.

The core experience is solid, but there are elements such as the melee combat that don’t quite gel properly. The lack of proper optimization for the Quest 3 is also a shame, and it would be nice to see an update that better takes advantage of the Quest 3’s updated specs and features. Asgard’s Wrath II is a remarkably solid action RPG that has a few flaws that hold it back, but it is likely to still prove to be the blueprint that other VR games will follow in the future.

Asgard's Wrath 2 is the most impressive showcase for any VR headset I've seen and is a game I'm desperate to get back to even after writing this review. Packed full of secrets, layered with systems, and likely to get even better over time with new in-game events, it's a huge RPG that's worth exploring.

Overall AW2 is a fantastic audio and visual package. I never once felt queasy when playing, despite using the full locomotion setup with minimal accessibility features enabled. There is a lot of platforming, running, jumping, and falling. I never once felt sick, though a few times when my character wasn’t allowed to move and I started walking in real life I felt ready to fall over. Few things are as disorienting as being locked in place inside VR and then trying to move in real life.

Asgard’s Wrath 2 is hands-down the most impressive adventure available on Quest hardware. As the start of a new generation of Meta Quest headsets, Sanzaru Games’ melting pot of Norse and Egyptian mythology is a must-play for anyone who is a fan of VR gaming.
