Wayward Sky for PS4 and PlayStation VR goggles is a game combining adventure, logic and arcade elements. Wayward Sky was developed by Uber Entertainment – the creators of Planetary Annihilation.
The player takes the role of a young female pilot called Bess, who along with her father, crashes in a mysterious fortress protruding from the clouds. The father is taken away, and the protagonist has to save him, overcoming different obstacles that happen to get in her way.
Wayward Sky for PS4 is played from both third and first-person views. Generally, the game is a point-and-click adventure title, which focuses primarily on solving puzzles. Those are not overly complex, but the creators made sure their mechanics are diverse – for instance, the player can be required to pull levers, to install bells, but also to control an ungainly robot, in order to press a button the protagonist is not capable of reaching directly. All of this creates a pleasant, couple-hours-long adventure set in a virtual environment.
Although Wayward Sky for PS4 has its charms when it comes to the visuals, the game cannot be considered a technological masterpiece. Wayward Sky stands out with its atmospheric visuals and unconventional robot design.
