Crisis on the Planet of the Apes VR Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Crisis on the Planet of the Apes is fast and fun, delivering a brief jaunt into the oppressive world of the beloved sci-fi universe. While the experience is light in the narrative department, the gameplay innovation and high production values more than make up for story's shortcomings. With the release of this game, FoxNext VR Studios have broken free of the movie-tie-in stereotype, and have established themselves as a VR developer to watch.
While I wish it was longer than it is, Crisis on the Planet of the Apes provides some fun gunplay and neat climbing mechanics. Easily one of the best VR movie tie-ins.
We step into the lumbering form of an ape to run, swing, climb, and shoot to escape a compound and bring you our Crisis on the Planet of the Apes VR review.
Considering how much we felt like we were immersed in the world of the rebooted series, it was a real shame that from a mechanical perspective the game was rather frustrating. For each glimmer of enjoyment, like moving in and out of cover while shooting, there was another frustrating and fiddly moment that had us annoyed. Beyond that we really recommend a huge playing area if you're going to try this one out. If you're playing in a confined space you're going to suffer, and beyond even that the poor visuals and the bugs might put you off. It's not an unplayable mess, but it falls short in area...
Clumsy, superficial, and in many ways fundamentally broken, Crisis On the Planet of the Apes is an often infuriating VR game that plays like a bad arcade rail shooter from the early ‘90s. Far from reaching the artistic heights of the rebooted film series in whose world it takes place, it takes a silly, action-heavy approach to the material that doesn’t respect your intelligence. It’s perhaps the worst thing to happen to the Apes franchise since Mark Wahlberg saw the monkeyfied Lincoln Memorial.
