![]() This isn’t a great VR game to play lying down in bed or sitting in a chair. Be prepared to crouch down, duck behind boxes, and use your arms and hands a lot when you play this game. Then, as you toss it, you naturally have to pull out your trusty lighter and light the fuse. To make the aforementioned bombs, you pour the powder into a can, put on a lid, and even stick the fuse in the top. Like any good VR game, there’s a lot of “hands-on” gameplay in Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom. But it’s fun to search every corner to find cigarette packs, pocket watches, tarot cards and other treasures nevertheless. It would have been nice if these led to some sort of upgrade system. Along the way, the game has collectibles sprinkled about for you to collect. But you’re doing a lot of different and interesting things to keep things fresh and engaging throughout. The narrative has a bit of a linear pattern. But it’s a shame that Maze Theory couldn’t find a way to push the medium a bit further with this title. Maybe it’s the limitations of the cord-free Quest 2 at work here. Blood & Truth, for example, is a four year old game, and it was on par with Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom visually. It’s just that I was disappointed to see that it isn’t any better. ![]() It’s not that Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom is visually worse than other VR titles I’ve played. I felt a significant uncanny-valley affect as facial expressions and body movements looked a bit robotic. I do wish that those great voice actors were done better justice by the character models, though. Thank god for the Journal I could pull from my back that told me what to do next. Voice work is great, although as a player who isn’t a veteran of the series, I had to pay close attention at times to make out everything these fast-talking gangsters were saying to me. Those who watch the Peaky Blinders show will know many favorites right away: among them Tommy and Arthur Shelby (voiced by the original TV cast members), and Polly Gray. And their colorful accents and period lingo give the immersive thrill that made previous VR classics like Blood & Truth so cinematic and fun to play. ![]() There are lots of brash blokes and birds populating the game’s story to keep you interested.
