Asgard's Wrath 2", experienced on the Meta Quest 3, is a remarkable step forward in the evolution of VR gaming, merging classic RPG elements with immersive VR interactions to create a thoroughly engaging experience. The game is a sequel to the 2019 hit "Asgard's Wrath", and it's evident that it has been designed with the advanced hardware of the Meta Quest 3 in mind, though it's also playable on Quest 2 and Pro.
The game's setting is a unique blend of Norse mythology and ancient Egypt, where you, as a god, can inhabit the bodies of different human characters, each with their own combat style and abilities. The narrative is expansive, and the gameplay is divided into seven sagas, each one rich in content and longer than many standalone VR games.
Combat in "Asgard's Wrath 2" is more user-led compared to its predecessor, offering a range of styles from melee to ranged combat and magic. Although the melee combat experiences some limitations due to the lack of force feedback in VR technology, the game smartly includes alternate modes of operation for weapons, like throwable projectiles, to enhance the combat experience. The game also features big boss battles and a complex skill tree to tailor your combat style, adding depth to the combat mechanics.
Puzzle solving is a significant part of the game, often involving the creative use of weapons and environmental elements. The God-scale puzzle segments are particularly notable, allowing dynamic switching between mortal-scale gameplay and a god-form for a unique perspective on problem-solving.
The game doesn't just excel in combat and puzzles; exploration is a key element, offering an open-world RPG experience complete with mounts, a hub area, side quests, and mini-games. The VR aspect adds an immersive layer to these activities, making exploration and encounters with towering bosses even more engaging.
From a technical standpoint, "Asgard's Wrath 2" showcases the capabilities of the Meta Quest 3 impressively. The game balances combat, exploration, and puzzle solving with a high level of mechanical polish and stellar art direction. The controls are intuitive, making actions like climbing and jumping feel natural, which is crucial for a comfortable VR experience.
Despite the technical achievements, there are areas where the game shows the limitations of current VR technology, particularly in the melee combat aspect. However, the overall experience is groundbreaking for VR gaming, setting a new standard in the genre and demonstrating the potential for complex and richly detailed VR games.
In summary, "Asgard's Wrath 2" on the Meta Quest 3 is a monumental achievement in VR gaming. It combines an epic narrative, diverse gameplay mechanics, and impressive use of VR technology to deliver an experience that's not just a milestone for VR but stands tall in the broader gaming landscape. This game is a testament to how far VR gaming has come and a hint at its exciting future.

After they destroyed Star Trek with Discovery, Picard and all this stuff we got this. It is actually not bad. I saw the first episodes and they are a 5-6/10.
The characters are okay, not too well written but not bad really.. Still like in discovery they still using wannabe "cool speaking", cringe "humor" and comment every thing they do with a cringe and ironic comment. They are simply not serious and talk like teenagers most time.
The story is clear, straight and goes finally the right way which trek ment to be but still way too much "action" like shooting and stuff.
If they fix the following things it has a 7/10 Potential:

If they fix the following things it has a 7/10 Potential:
- Less colorful/effects its literally with a bloom effect... eye cancer
- Less "humor" or "funny/cool" talking, characters need to be way more serious.
- Less animations.. too much CGI - more acting
- Better Theme Song... compared to TNG/DS9 and others is this one very very boring intro.
- Less obviously political correct references.
Also hectic camera, bad and boring story. Much boom boom action movie flair and humor every 2 minutes for 8 year old children. Many unneccessary characters, CGI everywhere. Worst Star Wars ever.
