CAVE VR

CAVE VR is a virtual-reality game, so the whole point is the feeling of being inside a dark, enclosed space rather than watching it from a distance. By our assessment, the main draw of something like this is bodily presence: looking around with a headset, leaning, turning, and using space as part of the play. That also sets the limit, because VR games ask for comfort with motion, equipment, and a fair amount of attention. In practice the medium can make a simple idea feel sharper than it would on a flat screen, but it can also become tiring if the controls are awkward or the content is thin. Compared with ordinary games, it trades breadth and ease for immediacy and immersion. CAVE VR is for people who already like VR and want a short, physical kind of play, not for someone who wants a long, relaxed session.
