Arktika.1
Summary
ARKTIKA.1 is a highly immersive, action-packed, first-person shooter designed exclusively for Oculus Touch. Nearly a century in the future, the world has fallen into a new ice age in the aftermath of a silent apocalypse. Only the equatorial regions remain habitable, yet pockets of humanity survive in small numbers all over the planet, hanging onto existence in the resource-rich territories to the north and south--resources that everyone wants to control... Protect the colony in the wastelands of old Russia from raiders, marauders, and horrifying creatures. Be the savior.

Critic Reviews8
The highly entertaining gunplay is unfortunately undermined by a weak story, annoying puzzles and unnecessarily restricted gameplay. But fans of the genre will probably enjoy it anyway.

Arktika.1 does not revolutionize the kind of shooter on rails but adapts it in a perfectly successful way to Virtual Reality.

In some ways, ARKTIKA.1 feels like a step backward for 4A Games. Puzzles can be a chore to play through and the story doesn’t come close to matching the studio’s previous efforts. Despite these issues, there’s a ton of fun to be had in teleporting from cover to cover, blasting off bandits and monsters with cool guns. There’s little reason to revisit the campaign after one playthrough, but while it lasts, it’s a blast.
