In part, that’s because Alta’s online adventure is staggeringly deep, aflood with intricate interactions, resources to plunder and lands to explore to a degree few other native VR games can match. It takes a heck of a long time to really ‘get’ A Township Tale, especially enough to pass any sort of judgment on the game. However, as Facebook doesn’t label games as Early Access on the Quest store, we’re giving it a full review that we’ll update as new features arrive for the title. It’s still in Early Access on PC and the Quest version is essentially the same experience. Note: Our A Township Tale review is based on the Quest edition of the game.

This is done via the Oculus smartphone app, meaning you don’t even need to be in the headset yourself to set up the session you want to play.A Township Tale is still under construction. Introduced with the v31 update for Quest and Rift, the platform now supports the Invite Link feature which is exactly what it sounds like: you can create a game invitation link that will bring your friend directly into your VR session, and you choose which channel to send it through. With such ease of messaging and sharing, the smartphone has become our everyday communication device.īut VR has long been stuck in an annoying space where once you put on the headset you’re cut off from your usual pocket communicator, which can make it frustrating to meet at the same time and place in VR. It’s been 14 years since the launch of the original iPhone, and by now we’re all used to getting messages from friends with a URL that takes us to a funny video, insightful article, or video chat.

For now only some apps support the feature until more developers decide to get on board. This streamlines the action of meeting up with your friends for some virtual fun. It’s been a long time coming, but Oculus has finally provided a way for players to invite friends to their VR games through a simple web link that can be shared by text, email, DM, or… well, anywhere.
