Jul 29, 2017Eagle Flight brings the unbridled joy of flying to VR. With its sense of speed, stern challenge, and unparalleled levels of control and comfort it’s only the fact that it plays so safely within its own sandbox that stops it getting a perfect score. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

Dec 18, 2016Excellent flight controls make this an intuitive simulation, while elegant graphics and an engaging soundtrack pull you further in to the experience. [Issue#257, p.60]
-
Oct 29, 2016All in all, Eagle Flight ticks all the right boxes when it comes to VR.
-
Nov 16, 2016Like most other VR-games, Eagle Flight works best in small portions. Because gameplay-wise, there is not much to it. The courses might have enough variability, but the game-modes are severely lacking – especially in multiplayer. Though the beautiful landscape of Paris always entices me with either a casual flight or a high speed race through the subway-station. If flying in VR is something, you can get behind than you’ll find Eagle Fly to be a creative alternative to any action packed shooting gallery.

Oct 28, 2016Simple, yet quite entertaining flying in VR through a deserted Paris that appeals to soloists with loads of challenges as well as leaderboards, while the online hunts deliver with fast paced pursuits.
-
Oct 21, 2016The controls are tight, combat is simple, and Uplay still sucks, but this game isn't half bad. [Tested with Oculus Rift]
-
Oct 19, 2016Eagle Flight is not so simple as it may look, with arcade mechanics to compete for rankings and some moments of true brilliance.
-
Oct 18, 2016Although they could have gone with the rote, grinding route, Eagle Flight actually is more about the journey.
-
Nov 7, 2016This game makes you feel euphoric and disappointed at the same time. Flying is amazing, but the story line is so short and does not do the mysterious setting any justice. A pity, cause Paris is formidable.
-
Oct 19, 2016A fun game that lacks depth but makes up for it in with charm and the fact anyone can play and enjoy it. [Tested with Oculus Rift]
-
Oct 18, 2016A nice concept that fails in offering a deeper experience that justifies its price.

Oct 18, 2016Eagle Flight initially sounded like a kooky concept to me, but I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun playing capture-the-flag. The game has a surprising amount of depth, and it’s highly competitive as a result. There were multiple occasions when I couldn’t help but scream when an enemy eagle killed me as I was a beak’s length away from victory. And while the graphics aren’t amazing, just being able to quickly zip around Paris can be breathtaking. If you’re looking for a really fun multiplayer VR game, you should fly like an eagle.

Jan 17, 2017Eagle Flight leaves me with mixed feelings. The first time you play it will knock your socks off, but you soon find a game with a lack of depth.

Nov 9, 2016Is it a must-have VR title? No. But there are precious few of those. It is a pretty decent VR title though, with a strong conceit and pleasant scenery. That makes it notable enough. To be honest, what it really needs is support for sticking your arms out at your side and flapping around like Big Bird, but perhaps the later Vive version and/or Oculus Touch support might let us live out our Michael Keaton mid-life crisis fantasies.

Nov 9, 2016If you’re looking for novel virtual reality experiences, I do think you should check out Eagle Flight to get a sense of how much fun it can be to soar in VR. After playing it, though, I feel like I’d really enjoy a game with these precise mechanics, but without constraints: a more free-form, less demanding play style that would accentuate the freedom of flight—not detract from it.
