Before, I only played Temple Run, Plants vs. Zombies and the likes. But recently, I've discovered this Virtual Reality Arcade on Boracay and I was instantly hooked.
The first time that I went there, I was with some friends and we tried the 5-minute free trial. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. They will help you get used to VR if it's your first time. There are a lot of cool and kickass games to choose from. It's really engaging and immersive. So i'm sure that if you are a passionate gamer, you'll find this arcade a paradise.
The studio is well-organized and the equipment is excellent! There is a protective layer of foam on the floor and the walls, so that you can't hurt yourself in case of hazardous movements. There are two HTC Vive headsets along with two powerful gaming computers and the graphics are excellent! HTC Vive is currently the best VR headset, it's more precise than the Oculus Rift and its room scale is better.
Since it was my first time to try something like that, I chose an easy game which is SPACE ROBOTS, I settled for a single weapon and a shield but if you are a pro, you can switch into different kinds of weapons, shift into different games and use all the power ups and that will level up the thrill and excitement. It was a fun experience and in that instant, after that 5-minute trial, a gamer in me was born.
I went back to try a different game with someone, we wanted to shoot zombies together. At first, I was thrilled. I thought we were going to shoot zombies who look like R from the movie Warm Bodies. Hahaha! I'm kidding! But the truth is, the zombies were scarier than I thought. They were so intense, the tension was too much for me to handle. I felt like they were going to eat me alive for real! Yes, I chickened out! Haha. That's a challenge you have to try. So I chose Deep Blue instead and I was amazed by the sea creatures that I saw! They were so huge and awesome!
You can try as many games as you want in choices of 15mins, 30mins and 1hr. at affordable prices! You can even bring your friend/s to share the time with.
It was a superb experience and I'm sure I'm going to do it again. When I'm ready to do the Zombie challenge. Lol. 😂
