• GORN 2 (SteamVR) Review - 17 April 2025

  Back in 2019, virtual reality was in a very different place. The original Oculus Ques t had just launched, bringing untethered VR gaming to the masses, while Valve had entered the hardware space with the high-end Index. It was a breakthrough moment for VR—one that felt like the first true consumer boom for the platform. Alongside hardware innovations came a wave of standout games: Half-Life: Alyx , Blood & Truth , and nestled among them, GORN —a wild, over-the-top, physics-driven gladiator brawler from indie developer Free Lives. With its cartoonishly violent combat, flailing limbs, and a complete disregard for realism, GORN quickly became a fan favourite and even a system seller. But that was six years ago. In the years since, the landscape of VR has changed significantly. Meta has released the Quest 2 and 3, pushing for better performance, wireless play, and comfort. Sony has doubled…

• GORN is back, baby! - 28 March 2025

  That's right, GORN 2 is really happening! Many of us at Cortopia were big fans of GORN, so we reached out to Devolver and Free Lives with a pitch for a sequel. Not only were they gracious enough to hear us out, but they ended up publishing the game and helping us with development, and it’s been a pleasure working with them. Our goal with GORN 2 was simple: focus on maximizing fun. We amplified all the things that made GORN great, removed some of the annoyances, built five unique worlds, added actual boss fights, and implemented modern VR conveniences. But most importantly, we made a ton of unique traps, weapons, hazards, creatures, and contraptions to provide endless opportunities for creativity and chaos. The result is an immersive escape from reality, where you’re guaranteed to feel like a badass and have a lot of good laughs. Inspired by the modern VR combat games out there, we wante…
