Players get to craft a typical fantasy RPG protagonist of their choosing in a workshop, complete a tutorial and then journey out into the vast world on offer. Its charm is absolutely undeniable and serves to be exciting in concept, even if I walked away from the experience feeling that it’s not for me.Ī Township Tale is absolutely an enticing premise for those that live and breathe VR as their main gaming platform of choice. Getting to play the game on Oculus Quest 2, there’s absolutely potential for the game’s community to grow. Instead, it’s jumping wholely into the sim genre, encouraging players to go out and venture, re-establishing a town from the ground up. However, it’s not doing so in a bombastic AAA fashion, nor is it a virtual playground. In a somewhat similar vein, A Township Tale is another VR entry that’s aiming to make a splash. We saw it last year with Valve’s momentous Half-Life: Alyx. Maybe you even got your toes wet in the sandbox that is BONEWORKS.

Most of the excitement that has come out of VR over the past few years is the way once-in-a-blue-moon titles have pushed the platform’s envelope further.
