[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] Shinrin-yoku: Forest Meditation and Relaxation is just what it sounds like, a game that is designed for meditative and relaxation purposes. Players are placed in the middle of a forest, with the ability to change the day and night cycles at will, all the while observing animals and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. There's not a whole lot to say about this game, but the graphics are stunning; they're some of the most realistic visuals that I have had the pleasure of seeing in a virtual reality setting. It shows just how far we've come with this relatively new technology. There's no doubt that I felt like I was actually in a real forest. The full surround of crisp sounds also helped to capture the immersion. On the grand scale, Shinrin-yoku: Forest Meditation and Relaxation is best viewed as a well-crafted tech demo. There's not a whole lot to do in the game, other than poke a frog with a stick, watch a moose saunter by, and shine a flashlight on an owl. Due to the lack of interactive subject matter in the game, I'm not able to readily recommend it. As far as the "relaxation" aspect goes, it's just okay; some soothing rain, a thunderstorm, and the ability to navigate around the forest a little more would be a much welcomed addition.
