Games receiving long-term updates is hardly surprising these days, but every once in a while, a new feature comes out that fundamentally changes how to play.
originally came out in 2022, and our Quest review praised it as “a great survival game.” The new co-op mode fundamentally changes the game by adding countless options to take advantage of working together.Green Hell VRGameplay footage captured by UploadVR on Quest 3
For the uninitiated, Green Hell VR is a survival game with a 10 to 15-hour story mode and a sandbox mode. You are dropped into a jungle with only a notebook and a pack, along with a radio, walkie-talkie and a watch. The story mode also gives a quick overview of the current situation your character is in. You can store all the sticks, axes and meat from armadillos in your hefty back pack. The Co-Op Mode is smooth from the very first minute. You can invite up to four other survivors into the session. If you’ve never played this game, getting familiar with its intuitive mechanics feels much easier as sharing ingredients, knowledge, and tools is encouraged.

The base game’s isolated atmosphere is immediately exchanged for one of camaraderie. The joy of sharing the often hilarious moments when someone falls or eats something that they shouldn’t have, can be a great way to pass time between finding more resources. When working as a group, rendezvousing after successfully finding different resources is gratifying.
Beyond offering friendly advice on what not to eat or do, you can also physically aid each other. If they are fainting, you can gently tap their heads to wake them or use plants on any wounds. There is friendly fire as well, so you can kill your allies in their sleep for kicks or take the easy way out if you’re slowly dying from a scorpion’s venom.

What’s key is how Green Hell VR drives home the need for cooperation as clearly as can be. The hours can fly by as you keep each other’s health bar in check and search for supplies. To have a mysterious narrative on top provides a substantial jungle adventure for those who crave something out of the ordinary.
