Review:
OtherSight is a unique VR experience that allows users to explore highly-detailed environments like a back alley in Japan or a street in Havana.
Unlike other VR games that have numerous environments, OtherSight has a smaller selection of environments that are larger and more detailed. The central hub where you choose the locations to visit is a museum-like room with trinkets and curios that represent the locations you can visit.
The game's strength is its ability to capture and recreate environments at a higher fidelity than other VR games, with few lower quality areas that break immersion. The interior locations are especially impressive. The game also features a tour guide who narrates as you explore, adding to the immersive experience compared to more traditional text based information.
While the game lacks traditional gameplay mechanics, its strength lies in its ability to provide a highly detailed and immersive experience that allows users to explore and learn about different cultures and environments. Overall, OtherSight is a worthwhile experience for VR enthusiasts who want to explore highly-detailed and realistic environments.
