The jungle still looks lush and while textures are on the simple side, the amount of foliage, trees and detritus on display is impressive. I can say that I was never stunned by the visuals in this Quest 2 port, but at the same time, I was still impressed by (most) of what was on display before me. I was leery when they announced Green Hell for the Quest 2 headset as the game, on PC, contains an amazingly lush jungle environment that looks stunning at times. Sleeping on the ground will have worms burrowing into your body, wading through water will result in leaches latching on to you, bug bites could get infected and with each of those ailments (and many more) are also the solutions to cure them which involve that trial-and-error gameplay that makes these games so addicting. You’ll still have to contend with the elements and even on the easiest settings, just because you have less to worry about, doesn’t mean there still isn’t challenge as finding and preparing safe food to eat and creating proper shelters are still arduous tasks. Whenever you die, the game will tell you how you perished before restarting you at your last checkpoint and depending upon your discoveries from your last play, you won’t need to repeat taste tests as the journal stores all your previous discoveries. Pay attention to your watch…it’s a life saver!Īfter maybe 5 or 6 deaths, I began to get the lay of the land and focus on what the game was telling me to do and learning what not too. Items break, food rots, wounds fester if untreated as does any stomach born illnesses, you’ll get hungry, thirsty, cold, wet, tired and must manage fats, carbs, protein, and hydration and if that all sounds like a lot, it is…at least at first. More important than the notebook though is your extremely high-end smart watch with GPS that shows the time of day, provides the option to rest, any ailments or infections you are suffering and monitors all your vitals. That notebook is pivotal to your survival as not only does it have a map and tracks objectives, but also lists everything you can craft as well as recipes and information on the flora you’ll find. You can store items on your sides and carry a trusty backpack that works almost identically to the one in Saints & sinners with a walkie talkie and notebook on your chest. I fell once and died, ate a bad mushroom died, bit by a snake died, drank some funky water died and so on. For my first time playing, I chose the 3rd difficulty option ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ and proceeded to die more than few times (after the tutorial) thanks to my lacking survival skills in combination with the amount of stuff I had to contend with. There are 4 different difficulties for both modes from Tourist to King of the Jungle with the easiest focusing on story and turning off hostile tribes, predators, nutrient depletion and going crazy with the hardest having all of those turned on and the middle ones balancing those to varying degrees. Survival just drops you in the jungle and asks you too see how long you can survive, typical of this game type. There are 2 modes to choose from, campaign or survival and I highly recommend the campaign as it includes the tutorial but also slowly introduces many of the obstacles in your way as well as your crafting options and breaks down everything you think you need to keep track of to survive. Welcome to the jungle…it gets worse here everyday.Īs soon as you start you are treated to a lengthy 1st time loading screen before being given a few basic comfort options with more being available once you get to the main menu.
