Stormland is a short experience and its attempts to add replay value don't really hit the mark. However, it's still one of the more impressive virtual reality games on the market, and a clear step forward when compared to many VR titles that have come before it in terms of controls and freedom of movement. Now that Insomniac is owned by Sony, hopefully it can continue its virtual reality work with PlayStation VR or maybe even the rumored PlayStation VR 2 on the PS5.

The appeal of Stormland, beyond its visually stunning world, is analogous to a jungle gym: once you’ve run through its brief obstacle course, it’s up to you to make your own acrobatic fun. Jumping, gliding, or otherwise launching yourself off of Stormland’s highest peaks with your own two hands is an absolute treat in VR, and one that’s worth going through the motions of the middling combat, repetitive missions, and light story for.

There’s plenty more work to be done, then, but when looking back at the shape of VR shooters over the past three years, Stormland shines as a real achievement. Many of its dizzying strands of design are dreamlike in delivery, from the seamless UI and scaling cliff faces with Olympic proficiency to effortlessly surfing its bed of clouds or unloading a rattling barrage of bullets on enemies. Its stumbles are as obvious as they are numerous, but it picks itself back up again time after time. The seas of VR shooter development are still stormy, but Stormland sails them with aplomb.

I admire Stormland’s open-world shooting and traversal, which feel like genuine steps forward for VR. The UI is inspired, the upgrade system smart, and its co-op shows a lot of promise. But as an evolving live game, it hasn’t shown me enough to make me want to strap on my headset again next week.

Stormland already is a must-have for Oculus owners. What's more, it's good enough that players who own a decent gaming rig should really consider taking the plunge into VR so they can play it. It's not often that we come across such a gem of a game, no matter the platform. Also, isn't Christmas around the corner? What a huge coincidence!

Faszinierendes offenes Action-Adventure mit einem mitreißendem Bewegungsschema - aber auch Problemen bei KI und Waffen-Handling.
