Eagle Flight : I Believe I Can Fly

Eagle Flight is most of the wildly fun VR games I had ever played. In this case, I just happened to be an soaring eagle in a post-apocalyptic Paris landscape. I find myself catching my breath as I navigate my headset to guide the direction of the bird but also be so immersed in the fast-paced action you're thrown into, such as flying through an abandoned cathedral window in the forsaken Paris. One of the general ideas I picked up when playing this game is that the eagles are protective of their own space and family from other predators residing in the French amargeddon.

Overtime, the game adds in little missions, time trials, as well as combat with alternative predators due to your eagle screech. Fascinatingly, this open world game allowed me to fly through the streets and buildings that helped me to find items in rather unusual locations. Interestingly, there is a multiplayer mode, where there's a capture the flag form of mode of two groups or

three, where the goal is to bring back a rabbit to my team's main nest. Using my piloting skills to guide my team to triumph in two multiplayer modes, I found myself in a moment where I had control in commanding my team as an alpha eagle, completely fitting the role in the animal simulator in a dusky European atmosphere. It was enthralling and at the same time, so incredibly fast, that at times I lose my alpha bravado and just ram myself into a wall, respawning my life thus after.

As a bird of prey, I have to use the best purpose of scanning my perimeters to find opponents and dive towards them to require them down. I would like more preciseness, granted more gracefulness on my part, to achieve the advantage, using the city’s slender streets and secret passages to lose opponents in pursuit. Suprisingly, the amount of motion sickness I felt was so minimal despite the high velocities my bird avatar was traveling in. With such intuitive controls, high frames-per-second count, and plenty of alternative developments that greatly scale back ailment, Eagle Flight may be a full VR game that may be enjoyed by anyone who would like to have a best idea of what VR can really achieve. For me, I find it a breathtaking game that brings sheer exhilarating fun escape(other than ramming myself into random birds and clocktower bells).
