Technical aspects

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.

Technical aspects

Windlands 2 features interesting designs and attractive 3D visuals. The game's overall style resembles animated movies for children.

COGconnected: 72 / 100 by Lou Sytsma

Despite the limitations of the PSVR tech and the three-year-old game design, Windlands 2 is still worth a try, especially if you have a couple of friends to play with.

ThisGenGaming: 7.5 / 10 by Justin Oneil

Windlands 2 expands on what the first game did well but is held back a little by the dated PlayStation VR controllers. Exploring and swinging around these large open areas is thrilling and landing arrows on enemies while doing so is very satisfying. It’s just when tracking issues rear their ugly head the experience is hurt by it. I also recommend playing it with friends if possible for the best experience. If this game gets updated to work on Sony’s next generation PlayStation VR unit then I’ll be coming back to it for sure.

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.
