Is Blueplanet VR v2 worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR users who want to explore natural and cultural locations rather than play a traditional game
- Travel and heritage enthusiasts interested in interactive scenic environments
- Vive or Index users seeking a collection of location-based VR experiences
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat, character progression, or a conventional game objective may find the scene-exploration format limited
- Users wanting tightly structured levels may lose interest while moving through largely scenic dioramas
- Quest users who do not want to use the version identified as primarily supporting Vive and Index may encounter a platform mismatch
Our take on Blueplanet VR v2
The bounce point arrives when scenic exploration is expected to carry the session. Users looking for combat, progression systems, or tightly defined objectives may stop at the diorama format, while hang-gliding sequences appear only in selected locations rather than defining the entire experience.
What is Blueplanet VR v2?
Blueplanet VR Explore v2 presents 90 volumetric scenes based on scenic and cultural heritage locations, including temples in Indonesia, national parks in the southwestern United States, Iceland, Nepal, and India.
The experience allows spatial exploration within each diorama, with interactive elements intended to provide additional context. Selected locations include hang-gliding flights over terrain. Version 2 adds 40 scenes to the 50-scene base app, a scrollable lobby, scene-to-scene travel controls, faster hang-gliding speed, adjustable viewing height, favorite buttons, and a training video. The application primarily supports Vive and Index headsets; the vendor identifies the Quest version as the best native version. A free demo includes 4 sample scenes.
