very positive review of the Rift...I'm impressed...

"Another ported title - The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - is more effective. The non-VR version is a visual treat (especially so via its Unreal Engine 4 upgrade), but the move to Oculus Rift is a genuine game-changer...Just experiencing this game world in VR, in effect just being there is - and I don't use this word lightly - incredible...

Unfortunately, Ethan Carter has comfort issues too, for exactly the same reason as Project Cars - a large disconnect between motion as you see it and as you feel it...The difference is that The Astronauts have included a comfort mode, effectively robbing you of free movement in the game world...Instead, the game viewpoint has you rooted to the spot, navigating around the world by clicking on in-world arrows that take you where you want to go. It feels like a compromise too far, but it does comprehensively address the issue...
