There are virtual reality games that seek to offer bold and immersive new experiences. Feral Rites, from the Insomniac Games team behind Sunset Overdrive, is not one of those. It’s just a 3D brawler adventure from a slightly different perspective, and that works.
One of my favorite virtual reality games so far has been Lucky’s Tale, a 3D platformer that casts the player as a camera looking in on the action. That’s basically the same sort of thing Insomniac’s done with Feral Rites, only here it’s a 3D brawler.
The player looks down from on high as the main character, the estranged son or daughter of the long-dead chieftain of a tribe of mystics, returns from exile to exact revenge to the evil forces that done them wrong. As their story unfolds they gain access to special powers, including the ability to transform into a jaguar for speed and a hulking jungle cat/human hybrid to deliver massive damage.
