Our take on Jet Island
The focus on unrestricted VR traversal comes with a narrower gameplay structure: movement tools and open-world exploration take priority over a tightly directed campaign. Players looking for conventional level progression may find the design less aligned with that preference.
What is Jet Island?
Jet Island is a VR open-world action game focused on high-speed movement.
A hoverboard removes friction beneath the player, while wrist-mounted jet thrusters control direction and add speed. Grappling hooks enable swinging from structures and climbing giant monsters. The world contains four giant boss fights and drones that can be defeated to unlock higher stats. Play alone or online with friends, moving across mountainous terrain and through the open world by sliding, jetting and swinging. The game supports Valve Index Controllers and uses physics and gameplay built for VR. Its movement systems allow flight over long distances at high speeds.
