War Thunder VR Review and Setup Guide
Today we’re going to be diving into a really well known PC game, War Thunder, and finding out if playing it in VR makes it any better. War Thunder is a combination Tank fighting, air combat, and ship battle simulator. It’s got a ton of vehicles to drive and realistic damage and penetration models, not to mention a huge community. Most importantly it’s got VR support, and that doesn’t get talked about as often as you’d think with a game this huge. So I couldn’t help but wonder, is War Thunder VR any better than flat screen War Thunder? Let’s find out.
Cities VR Does Not Need to be in VR
Cities VR, the Virtual Reality version of Cities: Skylines, is out shortly after being announced in the 2022 Meta Quest Gaming Showcase. This means that I finally have a City Builder to talk about and do shenanigans with on my Youtube channel, but it also means that a whole new genre is available on the Meta Quest 2.

Thrill Of The Fight is VR’s Most Intense Workout
That is a very bold statement, sure. Who’s to really say what is the best? There are a lot of VR games suitable for exercise out there. Some are crafted specifically for the purpose of exercise, those tend to be the more boring games. Others are entertainment that just so happen to make your sweat glands cry furiously and your muscles ache. Often without even realizing it. Those are the great VR workout games. They are the antithesis of Peloton instructors and follow-along Youtube workout videos. They are fitness that doesn’t feel like fitness. They are the future of exercise. Simply put, they are fun. Thrill Of The Fight is chief among them, if your goal is to get sweaty and sore.
Ascending - Dojo: Martial Arts Magic
The movement required to use bending in Ascending - Dojo is not simple, it is not rote, though it can be memorized and done better over time. It is complex and beautiful in execution, as any form done properly in an actual martial art. This is the refinement of a previously used mechanic, in line with the aesthetic of Ascending - Dojo. It is clear that Selfox did not invent the required movement randomly, or simply used whatever was convenient for gameplay purposes. To execute the magic feels like an art form. Do not do it too quickly, do not do it too slowly, complete it with precision or fail to get the desired result. The result is virtual Martial Arts.
A Love Letter to A Township Tale’s Mines
