<p>Spider-Man has swung over to different art mediums with various degrees of success. From movies, video games, comics, books, to even a Broadway musical (which was a great disaster). However, it seems everyone&#8217;s favorite web-slinger is having troubles sticking the landing when VR is involved. So far, he&#8217;s received two VR games: <em>Homecoming </em>and <em>Far From Home</em>. Both I would say falls a little flat when delivering an authentic Spider-Man experience.</p>
<p><em>Homecoming </em>was mostly a shooting range with no exploration. So, I&#8217;m not sure why people were stoked about it. The excitement and praise from <em>Far From Home </em>was understandable because it had free roam and web-swinging. Yet, it still wasn&#8217;t the ideal Spider-Man VR game.</p>

<p>Everything that made web-swinging great from previous Spider-Man games were missing. At first, it&#8217;s fun and exhilarating, but that&#8217;ll quickly fade away. Once you realize your swings barely have an arch to them and momentum doesn&#8217;t carry to each swing; you&#8217;ll get bored. Boring web-swinging is the ultimate deal breaker when it comes to Spider-Man games.</p>

<p><em>Far From Home&#8217;s </em>dull web-swinging experience is what drove me to seek other games to fill this empty hole. This led me to two particular games: <em>Windlands </em>and <em>Stride. </em>Both games doing a better job simulating Spider-Man, than the official product.</p>
<h3>Quick Summary</h3>
<p><em>Windlands </em>is a relaxing VR game that focuses on explorations and no combat. You swing from platform to platform in the high skies. The standard way to play is using a hook shot to zip to points, but you can turn on advanced rope mode. This mode makes momentum based swings crucial and way more fun. Something <em>Far From Home </em>is lacking.</p>
<p><em>Stride </em>is the opposite of relaxing. It&#8217;s a fast paced parkour VR game that will give you a decent work out. Spider-Man does have the capabilities to perform parkour. I know many wouldn&#8217;t bother with it, but adding gameplay elements from <em>Stride </em>to a Spider-Man VR game would an extra layer of immersion.</p>
