Stormland hands-on: Giving you the freedom to soar through the skies in VR

In Stormland, you are an android gardener who traveled to an exotic alien planet to help settle it. But when you get there, you find that the malevolent organization called the Tempest followed you. It killed the settlers and broke your body. Decades later, you reboot. Now you must go through a settlement in the clouds and save the remnants from the Tempest, who have inhabited a settlement in the sky, a place dubbed the Stormland.

This fourth VR game from Insomniac Studios — whose recent Marvel’s Spider-Man is a smash success for the PlayStation 4 — is an interesting sci-fi story that immerses you thanks to the Oculus Rift and Touch. I saw it at an Oculus preview event last week, and it certainly seemed like a bigger commitment from Insomniac and Oculus in a big VR title.
