I remember hearing about this game, Arken Age. It’s like this wild ride that got its start on PSVR 2 and PC VR—feels like just yesterday, huh? Anyway—so, it’s coming to Quest 3 and Quest 3S in November. And you know what? I’ve gotta say, it’s one of those games that pulls you in, makes you forget you’re even standing in your living room with a headset on. Weird, right? Like, I was genuinely surprised at how good it looks.
Here’s the thing: the developers, they seem like they’ve been around the VR block a few times. It’s got this vibe, kinda like if Stormland and Lone Echo had a baby. Remember those? Hands-on, immersive stuff that keeps you on your toes. There’s just something about the gritty action mixed with exploration that makes you feel alive—like the climbing! I swear, I was half expecting to wake up sore the next day. Oh, and the way it uses embodiment and diegetic design? Almost like it read my mind. Or maybe I’m just being dramatic. Who knows.
And wow, the graphics. Better than you’d expect, let me tell you. Especially for a game moving over to Quest, it’s like they put a bow on it. Okay, maybe not exactly the same as on high-powered platforms, but let’s be real—it’s no slouch. The trailer had me doing a double-take. Or maybe I hadn’t had caffeine yet.
So why does it look good when so many others seem a bit off? Well, it’s only coming to Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Makes sense, right? They’re leaving the old Quest 2 in the wind. Suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. Anyway, back to the release—that’s sometime in November, but the price? Nope, not a clue. But you can hit up the Horizon store and wishlist it. Consider it your heads-up, if you’re into that sort of thing.
