Despite the occasionally repetitive moment of combat, Wilson’s Heart is a must-play game that elevates narrative, visuals, sound, and gameplay for VR experiences to an entirely new level. Your time as Robert may have been a nightmare, but it’s a nightmare you’ll be eager to revisit again, and again, and again.
Wilson’s Heart for Oculus Rift is an absolute amazing VR gaming experience that harkens in tone and style to the old style classic films of Hollywood horror and the old Hammer Horror films. The presentation is even in black and white and lends its self-well to the adventure the player finds himself or herself thrust on. Furthermore, Wilson’s Heart is one of those diamonds in a sea of cannon fodder games for VR… not to say this diamond does not have a few flaws.

This is THE VR experience I've hoped for! A truly unique psychological thriller that puts the player into a 1940's era hospital that is apparently haunted. The game has great atmosphere through the music, environments, and the interactions are some of the best to date in VR experiences and games in general. If you don't have an Oculus Rift, then this will be the game to buy one for. I highly recommend it!

Очень атмосферный VR-хоррор. Повествование довольно хорошее, даже без хорошего знания английского языка, можно примерно понять сюжет только из-за повествования.
Можно сказать, что это point&click для VR. Интересно, что вся игра чёрно-белая, однако некоторые моменты запомнились цветными. Заставляет задуматься о том, как работает наш мозг :)
Очень уникальный опыт, очень рекомендую.

Good acting, a formidable world and a truly interesting story: Wilson's Heart is a great adventure game. Especially in VR the game is breathtakingly beautiful and creepy at the same time. Sometimes it feels like the studio does not trust the gamers though.
Wilson’s Heart is good, even very good at points. Expertly mixing its story, sound and visual aesthetics into a solid experience that’ll draw you in and keep you engrossed for hours. But there are some niggles with the constrained gameplay mechanics that hamper its ability to be a great title.
With its unique 1940's monster movie aesthetic and excellent voice casting, Wilson's Heart feels like the first "can't-miss" VR game. Too bad it's a Rift exclusive.
While the beginning is almost everything you could wish for from a classic horror experience, Wilson’s Heart soon loses itself in uninteresting “explore, pick up, use, repeat”. It still shows how effective subtle horror can be in VR even though it never gets to prove it fully.
Wilson’s Heart gets a lot of things right. The spooky atmosphere, charming camp, and long-form narrative are great proofs of concept for virtual reality adventures. Considering most VR titles available right now feel more like glorified tech demos than full-fledged games, I enjoyed the extended sessions of this six-to-eight-hour experience. But Wilson’s Heart’s limited interactivity, lack of freedom, and wooden combat show developers still have a lot to learn about creating truly immersive virtual reality experiences.
In many ways, this is a landmark game for VR, even with a few glaring flaws. It's a lengthy 8-hour adventure with great production values, excellent graphics, and a ton of atmosphere. The scenario is incredibly creative, steeped in vintage 1940s horror vibes, and each sequence manages to introduce clever new ideas. During a time when made-for-VR games are still mostly short and shallow, this is undeniably a AAA game with the substance and value you'd expect from a console game.
At its core, this is an adventure game, driven more by puzzles and story than by action or gameplay mechanics, and that's a good thing, since the mechanics themselves are probably the weakest part. While interacting in VR is normally very intuitive, Wilson's Heart often has clumsy scenarios where you're not quite sure how to make the game do what you want to do. The movement mechanic is a very limiting node-teleport, and you can't even take more than a step in any direction before the game freezes and makes you move back. When everything works like you'd expect it, it's a joy to grab and throw and punch, but there are too many moments where you'll be clumsily trying to figure out where to put your hands.
Despite these flaws, I'd have no hesitation recommending Wilson's Heart. It's a gorgeous, clever, one-of-a-kind game that could only exist in VR. It offers the right amount of scary to make you jump and sweat, but not give you PTSD, and it's one of the biggest, most ambitious VR originals to date.
