The Digital Fix: 7 / 10 by Jason Coles

Windlands 2 is a lot of fun. The movement and combat are both a huge amount of fun, they just fall short of being perfect. The new co-op features make this a fantastic game to play with friends, and it is here that the game is at its best.

Video Chums: 7.2 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski

I enjoyed my time with Windlands 2, especially with its sense of speed as you fling yourself across huge locales which is an absolute treat. Even though it's a tedious experience at times and frequent unexpected falls can be annoying, I still recommend checking it out.

FingerGuns: 6 / 10 by Miles Thompson

Channelling your inner desire to become just like Spiderman, Windlands 2 has some epic moments that are buried under tedious combat design, poor story structure and inconsistent grappling that is hindered by the current PSVR tech. When the harmony of swinging works, it encapsulates the best of what only immersive VR can do, if only the game itself could provide the platform to let it spread its wings and soar.

Full Review

Windlands 2 is an action-adventure FPP game. The production was developed for VR headgear (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR) and a sequel to the 2016 Windlands. It was created by indie studio Psytec Games.

Mechanics

The gameplay in Windlands 2 involves exploring large 3D maps and destroying the mighty titans living there. You play as a traceur, using such objects as a grappling hook (both to move around and in combat) or a bow.

The Psytec Games developers also allowed for modifying some aspects of the gameplay to better suit your wishes; for example, you can disable using grappling hooks or play in the “One Life” mode, in which the game ends with your first failure. There are also various collectibles to be found on the maps.

Game mode

You can play Windlands 2 on your own or with others, in a co-op mode for up to 4 players. There is also a Speed Run mode, in which you have to complete a map as fast as you can. The results can be viewed on a special board, allowing you to compare your times to those of other players.
