Viveport Review: ReMind VR: Daily Meditation
Become more relaxed and mindful through three different types of meditative experiences.
By Bill Loguidice, Greenlit Content
Meditation is probably as popular today as it's ever been. In our stressful world of work, partisan politics, social media, always-on technology, and general hustle-and-bustle of everyday life, it's no surprise that many of us seek out techniques for a daily reset. This mentally clear and emotionally calm sta
Viveport Review: Guns'n'Stories: Bulletproof VR
Play a story-driven, first-person wave shooter that stands out in a crowded genre by doing just about everything right.
By Bill Loguidice, Greenlit Content
First-person wave shooters are among the most common gaming genres in virtual reality. This take on old-fashioned shooting galleries commonly features many different types of weapons, various defensive capabilities like ducking and dodging, and a limited player movement area,
Viveport Review: The Price of Freedom
Save the USA in this expertly done Cold War thriller.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
Most virtual reality games and apps are simple, action-oriented experiences meant to give players a euphoric feeling of reality while also remaining fun. The Price of Freedom throws all of this out the door, instead devising a way to make you think.
As a storyteller, one of the greatest things you can do is make the audience feel, and the developmen
Viveport Review: Sneaky Bears
Shoot down hordes of evil teddy bears in this immersive and engaging arcade shooter.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
The teddies in Sneaky Bears are neither loving nor cuddly. Some might say that they’re even more bloodthirsty than a pack of rabid dogs hunting you down in the middle of a forest at midnight. That said, the intensity that Sneaky Bears brings to the table as you try to stop Frank (the bad guy) and his evil army of bears is both spectacul
Viveport Review: Kodon – Early Access
This free-draw based sculpting app has potential, but ultimately leaves a lot to be desired.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
Virtual reality is great for creating and sharing your works of art, and there are a ton of excellent programs to help light your creative spark. Kodon is just one of many, and while the program has potential. Ultimately, it’s a bit clunky and hard to work with. Of course, it is early access, which means the develo
Viveport Review: BOXVR
BOXVR may look like your average workout game, but it’s amazing what adding music can do to your daily routine.
By Emily Medlock, Greenlit Content
BOXVR is a fitness game that may possess magical powers, as it just might encourage you to workout on a daily basis and enjoy it! The idea of the game is to do a standard boxing routine to music as you hit the incoming orbs at the right time. Although BOXVR sounds like so many other fitness games, this one seems t
Viveport Review: Storm VR
This outstanding experience is dulled by its short length and limited gameplay.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
The premise for Storm VR had me hooked from the start. Players drop into the middle of a snow storm, where they’ll need to hurry to find shelter, food, and survive the harsh weather. It’s a game that focuses heavily on time management and puzzle solving. While the puzzles aren’t overly hard to complete, doing this while trying to fight ba
Viveport Review: Overview VR
Orbital View’s outer space experience feels authentic and awe-inspiring, but is ultimately lacking.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
The exploration of space has inspired millions to look up beyond the Earth in search of answers. For those interested in taking a step closer to the stars, virtual reality is a nice gateway to learning more about the planets and heavenly bodies that surround us. The latest app to focus on this idea is Overview VR.
Viveport Review: Glaive
Battle creatures of the dark in this addicting and challenging wave-based survival game.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
Glaive is a simple kind of game where you stand in the middle of a massive arena bathed in darkness. The goal? Throw a frisbee-like device at enemies before they go in for the kill. It’s similar to the weapon in the 1983 action movie, Krull. Despite the game’s simplicity, Glaive is one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had

Viveport Review: Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR
Step into the future and experience hands down the best table tennis game for the HTC Vive.
By Desmond Madison, Greenlit Content
In an all-robotic future after two millennia of fighting, the ultimate sport of table tennis has evolved into the peace-keeping Racket Fury Tournament, which also represents the best cyber-simulation of ping pong to date. Do you have what it takes to keep the peace in the Crown Galaxy by dominating lesser bei
Viveport Review: A Story of Distress
This rogue-lite VR experience feels nice, but ultimately falls short with subpar audio design, voice acting, and gameplay.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
I wanted to love A Story of Distress. As a huge fan of rogue-lites, A Story of Distress felt like the perfect combination of rogue-lite meets dungeon crawler. However, the game’s cutscenes and voice acting leave a lot to be desired, and the overall gameplay loop and combat is less than per
Viveport Review: Seeking Dawn
A beautiful world is marred by complex systems and overly dull fetch quests.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
Developed by Multiverse, Seeking Dawn is by far one of the most ambitious virtual reality titles that I have ever seen. The game has some of the best visuals that virtual reality has produced since even before the release of the HTC Vive. Compared to other titles, Seeking Dawn is easily the most visually appealing virtual reality game th

Viveport Review: HELI
Tour New York City from hundreds of feet in the air without spending a Big Apple price.
By Desmond Madison, Greenlit Content
After nearly 400 years of development, the New York City skyline is one of the most recognizable sights on Earth, hosting several of the tallest buildings in the world. With nearly 6,000 high rises and several of the largest and most iconic suspension bridges ever constructed, a birds-eye view of Gotham is something that tourists pay a hea

Viveport Review: Run of Mydan – Early Access
This first-person shooter draws inspiration from Halo and Destiny! Definitely a wonderful thing.
By Emily Medlock, Greenlit Content
Skimming through screenshots for Run of Mydan in Viveport immediately made me want to play this game. One of my favorite things about this title, for example, is the setting. As a Bungie fan, it’s easy to see that inspiration was drawn from Halo and Destiny. With this in mind, I always wanted to dive int
Viveport Review: Starbear: Taxi
Take remote control of Starbear’s taxi as you help him move passengers in a miniature world full of bandit raccoons and other wily obstacles.
By Bill Loguidice, Greenlit Content
Following in the tradition of classics like Muse's Space Taxi (1984) and Sega's Crazy Taxi (1999), Starbear: Taxi takes the mundane task of conveying passengers from one destination to another for a fee and makes it fun. Like its predecessors, Starbear: Taxi accomplishes thi

By Desmond Madison, Greenlit Content
A calm wind brushes across your ears from East to West as you lay still on the floor, listening to the sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the rocky cliffs below. You feel yourself alive in this moment, aware of your body from head to toe, free of all intrusive thought as you center yourself in the here and now. You listen to your guide. He tel

Viveport Review: Prison Boss VR
This fun and addicting game offers tense moments but ultimately feels dull.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
Prison Boss VR thrusts the player into the life of a prisoner, locked in their cell as they try to craft various items to earn money and reputation with other inmates. The overall goal is to eventually become the boss, or the guy that everyone comes to for the things they need, and while the game is fun for a bit, it ultimately grows dull a
