    Townsmen VR takes classic city-building mechanics and aptly converts them to the VR space, resulting in a well-made and delightful VR RTS/city-builder experience. Well designed interactions and smooth VR features make for a very fun and satisfying experience. Newcomers to the format might want to check this out just to see a different take on what VR can do well. An extremely entertaining, well-made delight that will eat hours off of your afternoon.

    An endearing sim for PSVR 2 that amuses with its tactile nature. It’s fairly basic once you wade past the initial deluge of tutorials, but it’s still got plenty in it to keep you building a burgeoning community of your own.

    Aligned with games like Animal Crossing, Townsmen VR aims to provide casual players with a relaxing and almost meditative experience. Its main value proposition is its immersive and exploratory nature, which can be a fun and satisfying adventure if you have the right expectations. The campaign story is simple but heartwarming, offering a comprehensive walkthrough of the game. If you're expecting a fast-paced, feature-rich RTS game, you'll be disappointed. However, if you're looking for a slow-paced but pleasant journey in a stunning, fully interactive, and immersive VR world, Townsmen VR should deliver a delightful and fun experience.

    I love God Sim city-building games and this being in VR gives it a new level of uniqueness and makes me hope all these games come to VR.I love God Sim city-building games and this being in VR gives it a new level of uniqueness and makes me hope all these games come to VR. Townsmen has a lot of systems where resources go through production lines so it's important to always know who's doing what, and where and to help out as much as you can. For example you can literally pluck a fish out of a pond, and cook it to get cooked fish. Overall I had a blast and even played it twice.… Expand
