Yesterday we were at Gamescom 2019 to try out the VR games that are coming soon!
We tried many games there that we of course want to share with you!
So here are 6 VR games that we are looking forward to.

And now, let’s dive in.
Number 1.
Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency
Brought to you by Neat Corporation and in collaboration with Fast Travel Games comes
the second installment of Budget Cuts where the story continues straight after the first
game.
It is a stealth action-adventure game in a cheeky robot world with cartoonish graphics.
What’s different this time is that you will be in a different environment.
You will not be in the office anymore like in the first game, yet you will be outside
jumping from building to building.
You will also get a bow and arrow which won’t have an unlimited amount of arrows, making
it challenging and forcing you to play as stealthy as possible.
This version is more focused on action and giving you the options to choose how to play.
The devs told me that you do not need to play the first game to play this one, but it is
recommended.
So far, I enjoyed what I’ve played.
The bow and arrow mechanics feel polished and realistic.
This version is pretty similar to the first game, so if you enjoyed that, I recommend
checking this one out.
The game will be available on PC VR and will release before the end of the year.
Number 2.
Down The Rabbit Hole
This game is set in the Alice in Wonderland universe, including the characters.
You will play with Alice and one of the Armored Cards.
But I’ve also met the smoking Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat and the King of Spades.
The gameplay is done beautifully.
You will see a panel in front of you with Alice and the Card in a 3rd person perspective.
You control them using your controllers by drawing a path or you can choose to use the
thumbsticks to move them.
As you move from one panel to the next, a new panel will emerge.
You will be going back and forth in the panels.
I played the part after Alice has jumped down the rabbit hole, so each panel gets you deeper
down the hole.
The demo I played was about looking for butterflies and to find them all; I had to do a variety
of creative puzzles.
Sometimes the game shifts you to a first-person perspective for puzzles and talking to characters.
It also seems like a side scroller at first.
However, you’ll notice that the rabbit hole is all around you.
You will be turning, looking up or ducking to find a clue or get a closer look.
I think the devs made smart use of the power of Virtual Reality with this game.
The story and voice actors are very similar to what you’d expect from Alice in Wonderland,
giving you that nostalgic feeling.
Down The Rabbit Hole is a game brought to you by Cortopia Studios and will be coming
to PC VR, Oculus Quest and PSVR.
While you are watching this video, don’t forget to leave a like if you like it so far.
Number 3.
The Walking Dead: Onslaught
Survios is bringing The Walking Dead: Onslaught.
A game based on the universe of the TV show.
You will be able to play the actual characters of the series, use their iconic weapons to
slaughter the zombies, which are called Walkers in the series.
They even got the real voice actors, which is pretty fantastic if you are a fan of the
show.
In the demo, I played as the protagonist of the show, Rick.
I got to try out several weapons, even the iconic Negan bat that he called Lucille.
I’m especially impressed with the fighting mechanics in the game.
It is very polished, allowing you to choose what you want to do.
Yea, it’s very gory as you can see, but there is dismemberment, decapitation and it
all feels accurate.
Wherever I attack, I’ll see where I wounded a Walker.
I can even grab their necks and then choose to put a knife through their brains as the
people in the show often do.
Blood spatters are dynamic, showing exactly where I shot and each weapon has their own
weight and power which is nice.
In the demo, I ran through a pretty linear map where I walked outside and inside several
rooms, while collecting fuel for XP and ammo for my weapons.
The further I went, the more weapons I found.
At the end, I was met with a wave of Walkers until Eugene brought a van out to take me
away.
This part gave me an arcade feel.
The devs told me you can level up your characters and choose between multiple characters of
the show.
You can also play the campaign in co-op with others.
As a fan of the series, I am very excited for this game since it feels like a full game
and not just a tech demo for the series.
The game is coming out on PC VR and will release in the fall of 2019.
Number 4.
The Curious Tale of Stolen Pets
Here’s a nice change from the zombie action.
The Curious Tale of Stolen Pets is a cute puzzle game brought to you by Fast Travel
Games.
In this game, you play from a 3rd person perspective.
In front of you, you’ll see a cute little world that you can spin around where you have
to solve puzzles to find all the Stolen Pets.
A lot in this world is interactive and feels alive.
It’ll make you want to touch everything and explore.
It’s very adorable.
The map I played had a puzzle where I had to solve what to do with a teacup, a candle,
and a teapot to get a pet.
The other pets were either hiding in a bush or were in a tiny treasure box that I had
to open by pushing a couple of buttons.
The puzzle I played wasn’t very hard if you think logically and just explore!
Throughout the game, the story is told by your grandfather, giving you a very homy feeling.
The devs told us that they want to make this game casual and relaxing.
If you can’t solve a puzzle, you can just move on to the next map to check that out.
There will be different endings too, like a full ending if you find all the pets.
If you don’t find all the pets, you’ll get a different ending.
The Curious Tale of Stolen Pets will release on PC VR, Oculus Quest, and PS VR and will
release this year too.
Number 5.
Phantom: Covert Ops
Brought to you by nDreams.
A stealth VR game with unique locomotion mechanics.
It’s a seated game because in the game you sit in a tactical kayak on the water.
So to move around, you have to peddle as you would in real life, and that feels fantastic!
It’s realistic too, if you bump to the edges of the river, you’ll have to push yourself
away with your peddle to get back in the water.
The kayak comes equipped with a sniper rifle and bombs.
So you can choose to go the stealthy route or go gun blazing.
However, you won’t be able to shoot all the enemies since you don’t have enough
ammo.
The game encourages you to go stealthy.
Phantom: Covert Ops is a game well done.
The locomotion mechanics is very comfortable to play; it made the game so immersive that
I almost forgot that I was at Gamescom.
I’m looking forward to the release.
The game will come out on Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift platforms and will release this
year as well.
Number 6.
The Wizards: Dark Times
This is Carbon Studio’s second The Wizards game.
We enjoyed the first game a lot because of the way you cast spells.
You have to memorize and use arm gestures here to cast a spell.
This second game is the same!
Like if you want an ice bow, you need to put your arms together from outside in.
If you want a fireball to shoot from your hands, you need to press the trigger button
while turning your wrists from down to up.
There are many elemental spells to cast, each with their own gestures, and each has its
own speciality.
For example, ice will slow down an enemy or freeze them after a second hit.
It’s all very logical and the devs told us that you will be able to combine elementals
later on.
The Wizards: Dark Times is a single-player, story-driven adventure game.
And a beautiful game.
The devs have done the work to improve on the graphics.
The spells look fantastic and dynamic.
The map is not open world, but you’ll follow a path.
You’ll encounter many different enemies and puzzles to solve that feel big.
If you are into magic, this is a game to play.
The game will release in the first quarter of 2020 and is coming out on PC VR.
So I will be posting videos of the gameplay of some of the demos that I tried at Gamescom
in the upcoming days.
So if you want more information on the game or just see more of the gameplay, then definitely
check those out.
