Asgard's Wrath 2 Review

Asgard's Wrath 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on Meta Quest 3. Also available on Meta Quest 2.
Asgard’s Wrath 2 is the full-fledged VR open-world RPG I’ve always wanted to play, and for that matter it’s one of the best RPGs in any perspective I’ve played in years. With four unique characters and stories, fantastic and satisfying combat, intricate and rewarding RPG systems, a great story, and an entire roguelite dungeon-crawling mode thrown in just to show off, this masterpiece completely nails almost everything it tries - much of which has never been pulled off in VR. The Meta Quest 3’s killer app has arrived, and even after more than 90 hours throwing squids at gloriously shredded lizards and whipping across gaps, I’m still eager to jump back in.

Yeah but id argue quest 3 is a bit overpriced.... don't get me wrong it's a great headset, and I'm not huge in MR so its probably more fairly priced if you use that, but there isn't enough proprietary from the quest 2 yet, and the quality control so far hasn't been the greatest. I'm personally on my 3rd exchange but hoping 3rd times a charm

Watch everyone scramble to get hold of a quest 2/3 or pro once they hear of this games unbeatable reviews as it's the only way to play it. It's a system seller make no mistake of that. When games are praised like this everyone wants to play it. Giving it free with a meta quest 3 was genius as it shows everyone the true potential of gaming in VR/AR and before long this will be how all games will want to be experienced as it transports you into in the game.
