Verse VR is a poetry game that immerses players in curated folk poetry from around the world, offering an experience filled with texture and attention to detail.
Players explore bespoke environments replicating places like a traditional Chinese garden and a Senegalese river village, interacting with poems and songs performed by voiceover artists.
The immersive audio design shines in the Senegal level, with sounds of village life enhancing the experience, but the lack of a cohesive storyline or impact from exploring poems may leave players wanting more engagement.
While Verse VR showcases texture and authenticity, it may fall short for those seeking a more game-like experience, lacking a significant payoff for delving into the poetry and songs.
