Is X Rebirth VR Edition worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players with an original Oculus Rift or HTC Vive who want a space sandbox.
- Players who want to combine ship and station building with space exploration.
- Players seeking a VR game with missions, combat, and a simulated economy.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a narrowly directed campaign may find the sandbox structure too open-ended.
- Players who want only one type of activity may not fit a game combining exploration, building, missions, combat, and economic simulation.
- Oculus Quest 2 users may encounter limited compatibility because of the controller design described for that headset.
Our take on X Rebirth VR Edition
Its defining choice is adapting the X Rebirth universe for VR while allowing a mid-game switch between 3D and 2D presentation. The experience combines exploration, construction, missions, combat, and economic simulation within one space sandbox.
What is X Rebirth VR Edition?
X Rebirth VR Edition adapts X Rebirth: Home of Light into a virtual reality experience.
Ren Otani recovers the Albion Skunk from pirates and begins rebuilding the ship while searching for opportunities and adventure. Players explore the X Universe through Jump Gates and highways, take on a large variety of missions, build ships and space stations, and create an armada to fight enemies. The game includes a fully simulated economy and supports switching between 3D and 2D modes during play. The listed headset support includes the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive through OpenVR. The description says that Oculus Quest 2 compatibility may be limited because its controllers lack a capacitive thumb button.
