About

In Viva Ex Vivo, players will assume control of the "Virtual Eukaryote Visualizer," or VEV: a remote-controlled nanoscale artificial organism capable of surviving in a multitude of familiar and foreign microscopic environments. Gameplay features a unique mix of non-traditional arcade, simulation, and survival gameplay intended for all audiences. A drop of water or a drop of blood becomes an expansive field for players to navigate, collecting valuable organic particles and avoiding competing and predatory organisms while exploring a microscopic world on a massive scale.

    The game can be “beaten” in exactly two hours, and the gameplay felt stale before I had even played 30 minutes. With all that said, the game should be on the shortlist for any prospective PlayStation VR owners. Given the absurdly affordable price and diverse visual environments, VEV already feels more at home as a visual “experience” game than its marketed “arcade shooter” genre.

    Exploring these different microscope slides should be exciting, but instead players are left frustrated due to awkward controls and bored by how little there is to do. There’s potential here, and virtual reality will hopefully help the appeal, but there’s little to recommend in its current form.
