It’s hard for me to parse my expectations for Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV. On the one hand, I love Final Fantasy XV more than most people I know, and I’ll fervently defend it whenever friends bring up its weaknesses. On the other hand, I hate fishing, both in games and in real life. A VR experience that purported to take Final Fantasy XV’s fishing and make it more “realistic” did not sound like a winning formula to me. And yet, I was pulling for it. All things considered, I came away generally impressed.
VR is still getting its sea legs, so I’ve traditionally viewed VR games through a special lens. “Is this a great VR game? Or is this a great game?” Archangel is one that’s come the closest to bridging that divide for me, to be the sort of game I can recommend without qualifiers. It’s a fantastic experience. Period.
