Asgard's Wrath: the most awesome VR game ever? Reviews & impressions!

Only 2 days left  ❤️ I think most of the screenshots below are from September 5, but I didn't notice them before today - click to enlarge a screenshot:

Really interested to see how this looks in non-Oculus headsets (sorry guys). Some really nice texture detail there which shouldn't be missed when playing. That 121 GB install has to be worth it.

I hope it's no more than an 80GB download, lol.

BTW, normally when patching a game I think a copy of the game (or app) is created in the "Staging"-folder. I wonder if that means we'll need at least 125GB free space on the drive containing Asgard's Wrath in order to patch the game... Had a lot of "fun" with that when patching Marvel Powers United (55GB)  :#

It's very pretty, but I watched UploadVR's 20 minute gameplay video (from June) yesterday, and it seemed a bit dull, with constant repetition of the same mechanic--get your shark buddy to grab yet another hanging corpse to activate a gate, until you get the turtle buddy, and then every trap is the same fire nozzle that he shields you from. Hopefully the full game has more variety of options and less linearity.

Just zoomed in a bit to better see the texture quality - close up the image quality will probably be even better in the hmd:

Grass looks great:

- and mud too, lol:

I'm excited. Just pre-ordered (figured we have to support the development!)

Recommended specs are GTX 1080 (8GB video ram) video card, i7 7700K (4.2GHz) processor and 16GB system ram. Basically my rig, lol.

That usually means I got little room for ss. Or close to no room for Index 90 fps. 

Or it just means that this is another CV1 45 fps ASW2.0 game 😉

Stormland seems to have much lower system requirements (GTX 980, 8GB system ram). Not sure 131GB + high hardware requirements will sell well... At least in regard to this game, no one can accuse Oculus for catering to low-end PCVR users, lol. Then again, Vader Immortal has similar recommended requirements and perform great on my CV1 - even forcing ss 2.0.

The guys are getting ready - game launches for early birds in 25 minutes or so:

Personally I'm not going to watch any of that - I dislike spoilers, the above screenshots are more than enough for me. Interesting if Paradise Decay can run the game though, he's normally using a GTX 1060.

Game launch in the Oculus Store today at Midnight (Thursday morning in the EU) seems officially confirmed:
