- Play Paper Beast on Oculus Quest via Air Link - 6 September 2021
The dreamlike experience comes to delight users of the Oculus Quest range of virtual reality headsets. A year after its launch, Paper Beast offers you the opportunity to immerse – or re-immerse – yourself in the middle of a surreal ecosystem, revealing exotic landscapes and endearing creatures. A journey to the new Oculus Quest 2 Available on Steam and the Oculus Rift store, Paper Beast is now fully playable on the Oculus Quest wireless headset via the AirLink option, accessible for free on the headset’s interface.

- Playing my way closer to nature - 30 January 2021
Robert Macfarlane does not write about video games. Not despite, but because of this, I didn't truly understand why Eric Chahi's puzzley exploration of nature, Paper Beast, initially launched as a VR exclusive until I read Macfarlane's book Underland: A Deep Time Journey. In order to explain how and why this happened, I'll need to begin by introducing you to this man and his truly remarkable, unforgettable work. Not satisfied with being a fellow in English at Emmanuel College, Macfarlane is also an author, scriptwriter, and - in the true sense of the word - adventurer. His books are primarily concerned with the planet on which we live, and the complicated relationship that we have with it. Underland, as the title suggests, zeroes in on the world below ground that the majority of us will never see; although after reading this book, I feel as though I'm one of the lucky few who gets to ex…
- 2020's best games enlightened and transported - 26 December 2020
Editor's note: Take a breath. We're almost there. 2020's been quite the year, and it's very nearly over. Across the festive break, members of the Eurogamer team and our contributors will be running down their personal top five games of 2020, before we announce our game of the year - and before, of course, we hand over to you for the annual Reader's Top 50. Thanks for being with us this year, and see you on the other side. Where are games travelling? For me, this year, they were travelling inward. Spelunky 2 , of course, heading deeper and darker, offering more complexity and more mystery, more dangers to think about down there, and more wonders! All of it driven by clockwork so brilliant that it does not need much in the way of additional complications. Inward for Umurangi Generations , too, a team exploring its own culture to thrilling and generous effect. Never has travelling inwards…
