John Carmack of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom & Quake fame who is now the Chief Technical Officer at Oculus VR has written up his ‘Public Critique’ of Omega Agent in which he describes Omega Agent as his “favorite Gear VR game”. Here are a few choice quotes from the man himself:
“I feel immersed in a virtual world, which is the whole point of VR. Being able to see across the entire island gives a great sense of freedom. There is a sense of mystery when you see strange things in the world, and you know they do something, but you don’t know what yet. Discovering hidden passages that lead to interesting places is very rewarding. I feel like I want to “go back there”, which is something only a couple other games have done for me.
The game is full of gameplay. Omega Agent has a simple set of fundamental actions – get things, go places, shoot things, and race time, but it mixes them up into a lot of different missions with a good balance of multiple levels of achievement and gated tiers. The missions usually feel tensely time pressured, but you have the option of free exploration mode, which still has the collection elements in it to add some spice.”
