Wilson’s Heart for Oculus Rift is an absolute amazing VR gaming experience that harkens in tone and style to the old style classic films of Hollywood horror and the old Hammer Horror films. The presentation is even in black and white and lends its self-well to the adventure the player finds himself or herself thrust on. Furthermore, Wilson’s Heart is one of those diamonds in a sea of cannon fodder games for VR… not to say this diamond does not have a few flaws. One of the interesting choices the designers made in the game was to battle VR Sickness.

Wilson’s Heart is good, even very good at points. Expertly mixing its story, sound and visual aesthetics into a solid experience that’ll draw you in and keep you engrossed for hours. But there are some niggles with the constrained gameplay mechanics that hamper its ability to be a great title.

Wilson’s Heart gets a lot of things right. The spooky atmosphere, charming camp, and long-form narrative are great proofs of concept for virtual reality adventures. Considering most VR titles available right now feel more like glorified tech demos than full-fledged games, I enjoyed the extended sessions of this six-to-eight-hour experience. But Wilson’s Heart’s limited interactivity, lack of freedom, and wooden combat show developers still have a lot to learn about creating truly immersive virtual reality experiences.

Wilson’s Heart is one of the best narrative virtual reality games I’ve ever played, but to leave it at that would be damning with faint praise. It’s a game that’s worth looking at even outside VR circles, for its interesting mechanics, aesthetics, and core concepts, not to mention its solid voice cast. I just wish it had matured into something more than a mash-up, or was given space to play out its best ideas. If VR continues an upward trajectory, maybe we’ll get the perfect cinematic adventure game in another few years. It’s a shame it won’t be Wilson’s Heart.
