Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and H.G. Wells could only dream of the words they envisioned when they began penning sci-fi classics. Some of those would come to life inside our TV screens and movie theaters in the decades that followed, but the futures they painted are still far outside of our lifetimes. Most of us will never get to have a space odyssey of our own.
That is, unless, you play Lone Echo.
Ready at Dawn Studios’ VR debut isn’t a direct adaptation of any of those author’s works, but you can feel their influence coursing through its tense, moody 4 hour run time. This sci-fi epic is far more interested exploring familiar themes of survival and human/A.I. connection than it is raising your heartbeat. The zero-gravity gameplay, meanwhile, is centered around immersion, atmosphere and interaction instead of explosive escapes and gigantic set pieces. This isn’t the action-packed blockbuster recent trailers suggested, so if you were hoping for VR’s very own Gravity you’re best looking elsewhere.
