Gameplay

Rampage VR is a multiplayer VR game where players are assigned a role to take down enemy forces who are out to destroy the world. You can either team up with your friends or use the matchmaking system to find other players to play with. There are four different heroes to choose from, each with their unique powers – my champion took on the role of a tank. Players can choose from multiple weapons categories such as pistols, SMGs, rifles, shotguns, snipers, launchers, and flamethrowers. There’s even a talent and chip upgrade system that players can use to boost their character’s strength.

The best way to think about the gameplay is borderlands but in VR.

Fitness Score

While Rampage VR offers an intense and thrilling multiplayer VR game experience that can get your blood pumping, there isn’t a lot of movement needed other than aiming and looking around. In the future, if they add melee-based weapons and maybe something more to do with dodging projectiles I could see this increasing in the future.

Audience Score

Rampage is a brand-new game, so right now there isn’t a load of reviews out. However, it does have a solid 5/5 stars with only 4 reviews. I expect this too remain high.

Immersion

Rampage VR offers an immersive VR experience that pulls you into the game world. The graphics and sound design are intricate and evoke the feel of a world full of danger. I dind’t like the first world full of bugs but the desert levels were awesome. The game’s audio design is noteworthy since it uses high-quality sounds to add to the game’s immersion. Players tend to lose track of time while playing this game and find themselves fully immersed in the game world. Personally, I played until my headset ran out of battery twice, in one day!

Replayability

Rampage VR has significant replayability. The progression system for gear, talents, and chip upgrades encourages players to continue playing. Also, the game’s developers have indicated that they plan on bringing out seasonal updates similar to Diablo 3, meaning that players have a reason to keep coming back to the game to unlock new content and levels. They even have daily quests so you get something for logging in and completing a few quests each day.
