Raw Data

Raw Data is a game for PC, which utilises VR devices. The title was developed by Survios from the USA. The studio was set up in 2013 as the student project Holodeck within which a VR game Wild Skies was developed. Encouraged by the success, the talented creators decided to try themselves in the rising market, which gave a birth to Raw Data.

Plot

The action of Raw Data takes place in a distant future in which the world is ruled by a corporation called Eden. The player controls an elite hacker who is a part of resistance movement – SyndiK8. He needs to steal valuable data and thus destroy the giant. However, to do so, he needs to break the security system.

Mechanics

Raw Data released on PC is a first-person perspective action game in which you use your whole body – walk, dodge, and wield a virtual katana. At the beginning, you choose one of two characters - firearms-loving Bishop or a cybernetic ninja warrior Saija. The both have different abilities, like sword throwing, slowing down the time, and telekinesis. Additionally, players can break into Eden’s database and upgrade owned weapons or even summon helpful devices, including fortified towers and shields. All of this, along with your skills, is used during battles with deadly machines – some of them can creep, some shoot with lasers, some can jump, and some of them are controling drones.

Game modes

Raw Data features a single player mode with 12 levels. There is also multiplayer cooperation in which together with your friend you try to fend off enemies.

Technical aspects

The production is powered by Unreal Engine 4. The creators managed to generate atmospheric locations rich in details and well-animated characters. All of this makes Raw Data one of the most visually-attractive VR games from 2016.
