    Crisis on the Planet of the Apes is fast and fun, delivering a brief jaunt into the oppressive world of the beloved sci-fi universe. While the experience is light in the narrative department, the gameplay innovation and high production values more than make up for story’s shortcomings. With the release of this game, FoxNext VR Studios have broken free of the movie-tie-in stereotype, and have established themselves as a VR developer to watch.

    An interesting adaptation of the Planet of the Apes franchise to VR, based in great motion controls in climbing and shooting. On the other side, adventure side is too simple, it is less than two hours long, and you won´t find many reasons to replay it.

    At just over two hours Crisis is short. [June 2018, p.80]

    If the feeling of being an ape is well-delivered in Crisis on the Planet of the Apes, the game suffers from many technical issues like tracking problems and motion sickness - inducing framerate. The level design is simplistic and the few intense moments won't be enough to turn the game into a good memory.

    From poor FPS sequences to dull climbing sections or ridiculous moving phases, the developers of Crisis of the Planet of the Apes show a lack of inspiration and never seem to feel comfortable with their own game.

    It's a game without a purpose. VR can be a great medium if you have the right idea, but this is not the case. If you are a big fan of the franchise, you might enjoy it, but if not, there are better options out there.

    The apes look pleasantly simian, and it’s nice observing conversations from behind the small visible portion of your hairy forearms, but these are small beacons of light in an otherwise unremittingly bleak landscape.
