When you're out in the world, you have roughly half-an-hour before the Tower rings every church bell in the city, causing the streets to swarm with zombies. This long-term issue exists in direct conflict with shorter-term dilemmas. This means crafting new equipment is not simply a way to empower yourself, but imperative for keeping up with the ever-growing threat.Ī scintillating tension engine where every moment-to-moment decision you make matters. With each day that passes, the available supplies in the world dwindle, while the number of zombies shuffling around increases. What elevates Saints and Sinners above other VR games, however, is how these individual interactions are baked into a longer experience featuring both a decent story and, more importantly, overarching game systems. At the same time, you also need to scavenge whatever resources you can from the environment, grabbing everything from broken guns to discarded shoes and bringing them home to craft new weapons and equipment.
Saints and Sinners' nuanced simulation of knife/skull interaction is as remarkable as it is harrowing.įrom your base located inside a cemetery, each new day sees you venture out to a different district of the city to complete a specific objective, such as retrieving parts to fix a radio, or collecting "intel" from inside a faction base. But the Reserve is also slowly filling with floodwater, while the key to access it is held by a vigilante who won't give it to you until you help her exact revenge upon the Tower, one of two local factions vying over the city. From your contact trapped inside the reserve (a man named Casey) you know it's filled with all the resources a survivor could ever want. Set in New Orleans, it sees you play as a nameless survivor known as "the Tourist" on the trail of a military bunker called the Reserve.
But it's only a small part of the most mechanically rich VR game I've played yet.
This one mechanic is probably enough to carry Saints and Sinners on its own.
