We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR adventure players who want a single-player story set in a subterranean reactor
- Players who enjoy fighting varied creatures, robots, and bosses in VR
- VR players who want a campaign with 18 chapters and distinct weapon reloads
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a short campaign may find the 18-chapter story too substantial
- Players who do not want boss-focused encounters may hit a wall at the 10 boss fights
- Players seeking multiplayer play, since this is a single-player adventure
- Players without VR, since the game is built for VR
Our take on Vertigo 2
Players who prefer steady exploration may bounce off when the reactor's hostile encounters interrupt the journey home, especially during its 10 boss fights. The stated setup also centers on VR movement, so anyone uncomfortable with smooth locomotion or teleportation may hit a wall before settling into the campaign.
What is Vertigo 2?
Vertigo 2 is a single-player adventure built for VR, set deep underground in Quantum Reactor VII.
After waking, the player explores the reactor while trying to complete a journey home. Its threats include alien plants and animals from other universes, along with android security forces tasked with clearing the reactor. The campaign spans 18 chapters and includes 10 new boss encounters. Players can move using either smooth locomotion or teleportation, and carry an arsenal of 14 weapons, each with its own reload mechanic.
