The Unspoken demands attention to timing and strategy without being too stressful, and has creative spell variety without being overwhelming. Each spell is conjured with a unique, but totally natural-feeling motion that’s aided by near-flawless tracking from the Touch controllers, except when teleporting between platforms is involved. And even though there isn’t a huge amount of variety in AI enemies and maps, what’s here is a special kind of VR magic.

With titles like Feral Rites (also from Insomniac) providing alternative camera angles, the answer is usually "no." But with the advent of the Touch you're going to have a lot more experiences that really do feel like they can't be done anywhere else but on the PSVR, Vive, or Rift, and The Unspoken falls into that category.

Spielerische Tiefe entsteht durch das ähnlich wie in einem Kartendeck angelegte freie Zusammenstellen von Zaubern. Mit seiner schnellen und taktisch wichtigen Bewegung über feste Positionen sowie den vielen offensiven und defensiven Möglichkeiten gefällt mir The Unspoken sogar besser als das auf den ersten Blick coole, auf Dauer aber recht gleichförmige Superhot VR.

Une très sympathique expérience, dotée d'une bonne réalisation technique, d'une reconnaissance au poil, mais d'un gameplay malheureusement trop téléguidé pour instaurer un véritable écart de niveau entre les joueurs. The Unspoken ne va donc pas assez loin dans son concept : plaisant pendant 2 ou 3 heures, il deviendra très vite l'ébauche d'un concept que l'on aurait adoré jouer.
