Virtual Reality Wasn’t Dead in 2018 and These Experiences Prove It.

But 2018 saw VR become home to some truly unique games and immersive experiences. Here’s the five you should pick up in case VR was on your holiday wish list.

Marvel Powers United VR (Oculus)

Since I first got my hands on the slice of Spidey VR in Homecoming, I wanted VR to go beyond cosplay and give me the gamma strength of the Hulk or Rocket’s jetpack. Sanzaru Games brought the thunder when it launched Marvel Powers United VR. The game allowed you to team up online with up to four friends each taking on different characters from the Marvel universe such as Wolverine, Captain Marvel, and Deadpool to name a few. There was no cooler feeling than being 3ft tall as Rocket Raccoon and looking up at Deadpool’s abdomen. The attention to character heights, traversal methods, and even mannerisms players could control using touch controllers was beyond meticulous. Challenge was a bit light and the story fell a bit short of memorable but the game’s fun factor made up for many of its short comings. If you’re a comic book fan or even just a Marvel fan with VR, Powers United should be high priority on your list.
