Right here’s one you weren’t anticipating – if Wordle isn’t attention-grabbing sufficient for you anymore in plain ol’ 2D now you can take it into digital actuality with the devoted Meta Quest 3 Wordle app (it’s additionally playable on the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Professional).
It’s fully free to obtain, and you may attempt it out proper now. We’ve given it a go – even utilizing the brand new app to resolve Wordle at present – and in a phrase the expertise is ‘high quality.’
The app works with zero hiccups, although there’s nothing particular about this VR expertise that warrants the transfer to 3D – it’s simply Wordle floating on a window in a void.
Extra annoyingly, there’s additionally presently no technique to hyperlink this together with your account to maintain your stats in sync throughout the VR and web-based model. So in case you translate to VR Wordle you’ll lose your streak.
Maybe some updates will arrive to the app sooner or later that develop its scope, however for now it’s merely a kind of free VR oddities that isn’t tremendous thrilling – as a result of it’s neither wonderful nor terrible.
A puzzling addition
As a substitute of Wordle there are a few various (although not free) puzzle video games I’d advocate in VR.
The Final Clockwinder is definitely my favourite VR puzzler, not least as a result of its challenges require the right mixture of utilizing your mind to discover a resolution and your dexterity to make that resolution come to life. Its story could be solved with out an excessive amount of issue, however the actual enjoyable comes from discovering the optimum methods to develop and course of fruit with as few robotic minions as potential.
Then there’s the I Anticipate You To Die collection, a trilogy (up to now) of humorous James Bond-inspired VR escape rooms. Each entry is a delight and undoubtedly value choosing up – particularly if you will get them bundled collectively throughout a sale.
I additionally not too long ago tried The Exit 8 VR, a horror-lite VR recreation of spot the distinction that’s really fairly darn exhausting. It’s a tad unsettling at instances however there’s no unavoidable leap scares, so even in case you aren’t an enormous horror fan that is one to take a look at.
