RED MATTER 2: THE NEW REFERENCE FOR VR GAMES ON QUEST 2 Red Matter 2 establishes itself as one of the reference games for Quest 2, even outside the puzzle-adventure sphere: here's why.

When Red Matter arrived on the market, no one expected such an immersive puzzle and adventure game: the title by Vertical Robot conquered VR lovers thanks to its simple gameplay and a short but surprising story. Although in reality it is little known to those who do not play with the helmet, we are talking about an experience not to be missed, because it offers an important level of interactivity and a valuable graphics sector. Free movement in a giant play area (uploads do not matter, conceptually, in the absence of travel restrictions), non-player characters who bestow quests, equipment vendors, search for special items and other more general traits have enormously influenced FPS cornerstones open world like Far Cry, obviously from the second chapter onwards, while the damage system, weight / organization of resources or even the ballistic simulation still serve today as the founding elements for myriads of survival and, if we want, for the avant-garde of realistic shooting like Escape from Tarkov.Starting from this last element, Warplanes gives us immediately the possibility to choose whether to play with the help of guides through a facilitated control system, or to simulate the naked and raw flight of a fighter of the ten years, without any media type other. This immediately allows us to align our playful spirit with the extremely layered approach of the title, allowing us to approach it in a more light-hearted or extremely realistic way. Of course, if you know me, you will have already understood that I have opted for the best arcade-tending balance that I have found in the settings, but the nuances are so many that you will hardly find a control system that satisfies you.

Red Matter 2 raises the bar even further with regards to native VR titles on the Meta viewer hardware and has proven to have clearly surpassed its predecessor. We cannot therefore say that this sequel is one of the most beautiful games with realistic graphics available on Quest 2. Within the limits of the portable platform designed by Oculus, the Spanish team has managed to achieve important milestones thanks to the high resolution of the textures, the number of polygons and particle effects on screen, as well as in the fields of art direction and global lighting. Of course the animations of the characters are not without smudges but the models are characterized by a considerable level of detail, while shadows and reflections react optimally to the movement of objects and light sources, including laser rays.
