Stormland Reviews
Stormland is an impressive virtual reality experience with great controls and freedom of movement that shows just how far VR has come.
Its combat is far from perfect, but launching yourself off of Stormland's highest peaks with your own two hands is an absolute treat in VR.
Excellent VR combat and movement wedged inside a repetitive quest system.
Stormland lacks a little in variety, but virtual reality is exploited to the full and the persistent nature of the game is intriguing to say the least. After Asgard's Wrath, another great VR game.

At the moment I spent about twelve hours among the peaks and plateaus that pop up in the clouds of Stormland, fighting the robotic threats of the "Tempest", and I think I will spend as many in the coming days. Contents of this Oculus exclusive by Insomniac Games promise to be infinite, they are not in fact – or, at least, their variety has a precise limit, even in the procedural generation after the end of storymode – but it does enough to be loved by video games sci-fi fans and, in general, those who enjoy approaching open world settings with great freedom of action, often exellent in its concepts and pleasantly in the boundaries of emergent gameplay.

After Asgard's Wrath, virtual reality knows another champion: Insomniac takes us to the Land of Storms. And it's a success.

With gorgeous visuals, an expansive open world, and multiplayer support, Stormland delivers a serviceable shooter with an exceptional upgrade system, and a feeling of progression. What makes it amazing is all of the ways you can glide, fly, surf, or climb -- the expansive world of Stormland is yours to explore, until it changes next week and you get to do it all again.
Stormland's idea of an ever-changing world doesn't provide many reasons to stick around, but the main campaign offers more than enough enjoyable content thanks to punchy shooting and an incredible movement system.
Thanks to its amazingly crafted world, Stormland is one of the most interesting VR experiences. It may lack some variety (and the stealth mechanics are more than improvable), but it shows the path to follow for captivating VR games.
