![]() ![]() It’s not just the world that’s against you – the Twin planets’ alien denizens aren’t thrilled to have another human kicking about their home, and it’s not long before you’re putting your energy blaster to work. Hubris makes good use of VR’s capabilities, and ensures you feel physically involved at every point of your adventure. If you mess that up – say, you forget to keep holding on while you reach up – you’re in for a nasty fall. Leaping from one rocky outcrop to another means physically reaching your hands out to grasp the edge and pull yourself up while scaling a cliff face requires actually climbing it – using one hand for purchase while the other grabs a higher spot and repeating that until your feet are back on the ground. You’re here to look for a missing agent on behalf of your employer, and the Twin planet system isn’t the easiest place to navigate. Once you pull yourself away from stargazing (though you’ll never manage that completely), it’s time to finally get to work. Hubris‘ setting is gorgeous, and benefits immensely from being in VR – because you feel physically there, turning your head to soak in the atmosphere is an absorbing experience that holds its own with the open-world reveals of Elden Ring and Breath Of The Wild. As a result, the sudden crash that switches you between the two is jaw-dropping: though your surviving pilot is keen to get things moving, it’s hard not to dawdle in the wreckage and soak in every detail. It’s all tight corridors and two-tone metals, a far cry from the sweeping blue skies, rocky crags and pristine waters you’re about to get intimately familiar with. Hubris cleverly builds up this reveal by hiding it behind a plain, industrial-looking tutorial on board a space ship.

Hubris, a VR shooter-adventure from Cyborn, looks so good that it manages to make crash landing on an alien planet seem appealing.
