    With incredible scenery, smooth gameplay, and a good campaign length, Arken Age is one of the best VR games ever made. Complete for action fans, it goes beyond its proposal by improving the physics-based combat system as we know it.

    Arken Age delivers clever VR-first gameplay design for a great sci-fi adventure. The intense motion makes this unsuitable for VR newcomers and the narrative isn't especially compelling, yet the vibrant presentation and rewarding combat makes this easier to overlook. Between combat's great integration of haptic feedback, strong enemy variety and satisfying kills, Arken Age is an easy recommendation.
