Overview
Edge of Nowhere is a VR third-person action-adventure from acclaimed independent developer Insomniac Games. Travel to the far reaches of the Antarctic mountains in search of a missing expedition team. What appears to be a rescue mission takes a turn as you venture into the deep unknown, and discover a surreal world that will test your wits and sanity. Scale towering mountains and use makeshift weapons to survive and avoid descending into madness. In Edge of Nowhere, nothing is what it seems and the unexpected lurks from all sides.

Finally a game in VR which shows that the third person is ideal for virtual reality, even if in the end it's almost all talk and no action.
Without a doubt, Edge Of Nowhere is one of the best VR games currently on the market. Find out why we're so fond of Insomniac Games' first VR title and why we think some fans should hold off on a purchase until Edge Of Nowhere gets its first price cut.
Edge of Nowhere is one of the more robust and better built-for-VR experiences available today. It has a few shortcomings, but the sum of these is still not enough to keep me from recommending this to anyone with an Oculus Rift that is looking for a comfortable yet still compelling game.
Insomniac's Oculus debut blends great art, effective stealth design and VR's powers of immersion for wonderfully unsettling results.
