Journey of the Gods – VR Review
RPGs are underrepresented in the VR area, so I was happy to hear about Journey of the Gods. While there are a few great indie examples such as Vengeful Rites, seeing an RPG made for virtual reality by a studio with the budget for it is exciting. You are the chosen one who needs to save […]
