Islanders VR Edition brings hyper chill city building to Meta Quest on September 28
23.08.2023 - 18:53 / gamesradar.com / September / Meta
There's an argument to be made that Islanders is one of the best city building games out there. It is, at the very least, one of the most relaxing. This minimalist strategy game from developer Coatsink is all about good lo-fi beats to chill and build to, where you're able to sit back and gradually establish small cities on colorful islands. Well, now you're going to be able to do it in virtual reality.
Islanders VR popped up in the Future Games Show Gamescom 2023 showcase and it looked utterly delightful. Better still, Coatsink confirmed that Islanders VR Edition will release on September 28, 2023 for Meta Quest platforms. Honestly, the thought of strapping on a headset and just disappearing into another reality for a few hours, just slowly building entire islands by hand, sounds like the sort of decompression I need right now.
If you didn't play Islanders the first time around back in 2019, all you really need to know is that it's a really fun, and intuitive city builder made by a team of three. What it lacks in scope it makes up for with heart and positive vibes, and it's truly the sort of experience that can calm a worried mind after a long day at school or work. It's the sort of thing you want to dip into every now and then, with procedurally-generated islands ensuring there's always some new space to build upon.
Islanders VR Edition will launch September 28 and it could be the perfect little antidote to all of the noise being generated by the AAA productions out there. So if you're looking for a new best Meta Quest 2 game to play, it's well worth keeping this chill city builder on your radar. Deep breath, sit back, relax – it's time to get building.

Meta Quest VR headset adds new avatar creator customization tools, Horizon Feed, more
Meta has started rolling out its Meta Quest v57 update for its Quest virtual reality headsets. The update brings a range of new features and upgrades for Quest users such as unsending image messages, horizon feed, and more. But one of the most important feature upgrades to come from the update is an improvement to the avatar creator, as the company adds better customization options for users to fine-tune their appearance. Users will now be able to do a bunch of customization previously not possible such as adding highlights to hair, using a slider to pick a specific base hair color, and even choosing the color of your eyebrows. This was a feature many had asked for in the past and Meta has finally delivered.

Here’s Why A “Certain Building” Isn’t In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
One of the biggest reasons Insomniac Games crushed bringing Spider-Man to the PS4 for a new take on his life was how the game made you feel like being Spidey. An excellent example of this was the ability to go and swing around New York. While other gamers featuring the superhero could swing around a city, it never felt like you were truly in control and were just “going through the motions” to get you from one spot to the next. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will undoubtedly improve that feeling, even if something is missing in New York as you swing around it.

Cities: Skylines 2 looks set to found a new era of city building
When you think of city builders over the last decade, there’s only one name that still comes to mind: Cities: Skylines. The breakout success for Colossal Order and (at the time) the biggest game launch Paradox Interactive had ever seen, it’s effectively came to represent the entire genre, as other city builder franchises faded away. Having gone hands on with the game, Cities: Skylines 2 looks set to repeat the feat and cement itself at the top of the genre.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder brings awe back to 2D Mario
Super Mario Bros. Wonder had me hooked from the moment I saw Mario transform into an elephant man. In this unusual new form, Mario can bash enemies with his trunk, soak up water to spray at friends and foes, and — from a crouching position — perform an incredibly impressive push-up to launch himself into the air. Playing as Mario, as an elephant, was delightful.
