I am utterly obsessed with all things “Alien.” Ever since watching the 1979 horror classic in my youth — at a far too young age considering its hard R-rating — I’ve been eager to consume every single ounce of this iconic dark sci-fi universe I can find. I’ve watched all the movies countless times, I’ve read the Extended Universe books, and I’ve played just about every Alien video game.
But much as I adore titles like 2014’s Alien: Isolation (it’s a top 10 game of all time for me), I’ve always longed to truly step into the world of Alien via the means of virtual reality. For ages, this felt like a pipedream, but last year when Alien: Rogue Incursion was announced, it looked like my dreams were set to be realized. And after an agonizingly extended wait to play, this week I finally stepped into my favorite cinematic world thanks to Alien: Rogue Incursion on Meta Quest 3 (PSVR 2 and SteamVR versions debuted back in December).
