Jet Island

This game is great VR fun, plain and simple. Not much more to it than that.

It is just special!

God, I love this game. I almost never write reviews, but I have to write one here even though it's been 5 years since I've played this. When I had a VR headset in 2021 on a HP Reverb G2, this is one of the few games I remember playing. It was by far the most fun, and I think about buying a gaming desktop and VR headset again just to experience it again. This is the type of game that feels like someone developed in their basement out of pure imagination lol, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The movement + flying + scale create this kind of freedom that I have never really found in any other game honestly. This was just such an amazing game that only Superhot and Duck Hunt came close to in terms of originality, so if you have stumbled across this store page and see this review, I highly recommend purchasing it! It is such an underrated gem that rarely gets talked about!!

YES.

A game that can best be described by looking at the title. "What is Jet Island?" Well there's an Island. And you jet around on it. Sarcasm aside, few games really do a good job of presenting scale like this. Jet Island is massive, you swing, surf, and uh..well jet across a massive terrain with a surprising amount of verticality. Unlockable powerups and modifiers are spread throughout the area as well as a few bosses and secrets to explore. There's also a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge worm flying around overhead that took me a bit to realize was the final boss. I thought it was just for show but nope, you've gotta jet your whole ass island up there too. If Jet Island did anything poorly, it's the minimalist approach to everything meant it did not really describe -what- your goal actually is in the game. Even a pop up that said "Hey maybe check out those big red lights coming from the ground" would have been something. I actually put it down for a few weeks the first time I tried it, after 40 minutes of flopping around on a hoverboard I got frustrated and assumed I had bought another sandbox game. But no, there's actual stuff to do! The game just does a poor job of directing you to it. So, Jet Island. If you have strong VR legs, or you're willing to put yourself to the test in a fast paced movement based VR game? This is the one. Love it.

Although I did refund this game, this game is criminally underrated. Probably the best speed/traversal game u can get, and it does it very well. It has fantastic vibes too. Overall, it's worth a buy, u won't spend A LOT of time but it's a good game to relax and drift through the open world, and it's amazing to do that too.

Fantastic! You really need your VR legs, but if you're comfortable with high-intensity VR games, absolutely give this a try. The sensations of zooming and swinging around the place are unmatched. It's a little ugly and a little janky, being a first-gen VR game, but don't let that stop you. Embrace the aesthetic, become one with your board, and zooooooooom!

big fan

Not for the frail of constitution If you aren't, it's loads of fun! I can say with absolution The bosses are second to none!

buggy at some points and has its issues but overall not a bad game
