By Brad Shoemaker on The Giant Bombcast
“They said you will play this entire game sitting down, and I was like; alright, good, yes! Seeing this game that is fully 1st-person and lets you walk around a in a 3D space — but in a seated configuration — was actually kind of refreshing. It’s like your head is the joystick… you literally lean.”
“Golem is a proper first person game in VR that actually felt good to control. The game looked great; fantastic lighting, a really detailed environment, it looked super-impressive. To see a proper game, proper environments, and the method to explore them being rolled out on [PSVR] hardware is really exciting.”
“When you said the “leaning to move forward” thing it just made me smile. Like, oh, that’s how you do it!”
“They went full Level Lord with it.”
