Jet Island

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.
