Earlier this year we looked at whether or not the PlayStation VR 2 can be deemed a success which is a subject with mixed answers. It has a decent-sized library of games, such as the likes of No Man’s Sky, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and now Green Hell VR. However, Green Hell is an interesting mention. For those unaware it’s a survival game. We also looked at that genre a bit closer to see if they are worth your time. They are a less popular genre among many as they are less forgiving. However, Green Hell may be less known for some than games like The Forest or Subnautica or even Minecraft. Even with that in mind, it’s one worth a look.
Before we look more at the Green Hell VR port let’s look at the game. Developed by Creepy Jar, it launched on PC in 2019. It is also now on the console with the Nintendo Switch in 2020. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 ports arrived in 2021. So for the game itself. If we look at the game’s official website we see the story revolves around an anthropologist called Jake Higgins.
We are told that “we are thrown deep into the emerald and impenetrable Amazonian rain forest. The green hell. Your goal is to survive in the depths of a nightmarish environment using truly intuitive means to escape. Having only a radio at your disposal you will follow the familiar voice of a loved one through this endless and inhospitable jungle, unveiling bit by bit how you got there in the first place. What you discover will be worse than what you fought so hard against to survive”. It’s deemed a realistic survival sim and psychological thriller.
