Oh boy, where do I even start with this? So, Arken Age — yep, that’s the one — is about to jump onto the Quest 3. That’s happening soon, in November or something. I remember when it came out earlier this year on PSVR 2 and PC VR. Was it epic? Oh, for sure. And now it’s squeezing itself onto Quest. You’d think it’d get cramped, but nope, it’s looking pretty sharp.
Here’s the thing, Arken Age totally vibes with games like Stormland and Lone Echo. If you’ve messed around with those, you’ll feel right at home. It’s like the developers just said, “Hey, let’s mash up all the best VR ideas we’ve seen,” and bam, you’ve got this game. I remember playing and thinking, “Wow, somebody’s really done their homework.”
Anyway—or wait, was I talking about the vibes? I got distracted. So yeah, you’ve got this blend of combat and exploration. It’s like they tossed in some primo climbing moves, so there’s lots of up-and-down action. But it’s not just random; it’s smart. Like, there’s this thing, uh, embodiment in design or whatever, that’s a real fancy way of saying “you feel like you’re really there.”
Visually? Oh man, it’s eye candy. Compared to other Quest games? It’s a win. Not the same magic as when it’s tethered, but hey, close enough to raise some eyebrows. The Quest version looks way better than most. No clue how they pulled that off, but props to them.
And—random tidbit—the old Quest 2 is out. Nope, this one’s just for Quest 3 and 3S. Those headsets are all beefed up and ready for action.
So get ready, because Arken Age hits Quest this November. No clue what the price tag’s gonna be, and honestly, I’m curious too. You can wishlist it on the Horizon store, so you’ll know the second it’s out.
Whew, did I cover everything? The game has so many layers, like a VR onion. But yeah, this is the gist. Arken Age on Quest 3: worth keeping an eye on.
