    There are some excellent elements and bits and pieces here — shooting with the ranged weapons, the medieval vibe — and In Death: Unchained is enough unlike other Quest games to make it worth a look. After that first blush, though, the game’s lack of soul and variety, and its fundamental mechanical issues make it less appealing in the long term.

    The lack of progression between runs, the unforgiving aiming system, and the complex controls all proved an insurmountable barrier. Hardier souls than myself are welcome to scale this mountain, but be warned: the ascent is a treacherous one. Download In Death: Unchained if you’re not afraid of a little suffering and strife mixed in with your satisfaction.

    In Death: Unchained might not be one of the fanciest or idea-rich experiences in VR, but this is definitely one of the most fun to step into and play. An addictive gaming loop of meaty and satisfying bow-play, mixed with the rogue-lite incentive to keep playing, makes this title one that is easy to just keep coming back and playing time and time again.

    In Death: Unchained is a great VR bow game that's still a lot of fun despite a dark, unsettling atmosphere.

    In Death Unchained est la version « libérée, délivrée, je ne me câblerai plus jamais » de In Death, originellement sorti en 2018 sur PC et PlayStation VR. Grâce à l'autonomie de l'Oculus Quest, il offre une liberté de mouvement qu'il est fort bien difficile, si ce n'est impossible, de critiquer. On gagne en immersion ce que l'on perd en tracking lorsque l'on souhaite bander l'arc naturellement, approchant les limites de vision des caméras intégrées au casque. Doté d'un niveau supplémentaire exclusif, les Abysses, cette version de In Death est un peu plus généreuse, sans l'être totalement, car pour rappel, le jeu d'origine ne contenait que deux niveaux. C'est un peu maigre mais sa durée de vie reste correcte grâce à un challenge relevé qui se simplifie néanmoins grâce aux capacités débloquées au fil des sessions. Un rogue-lite réussi mais tout de même limité.

    Abbastanza ripetitiva a lungo andare e tendenzialmente poco rifinita nell’insieme, l’opera di Superbright intrattiene e appaga quanto basta: pur con i suoi limiti, insomma, In Death: Unchained è un rogue-like che possiede qualche freccia al proprio arco.
