Out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with Switch to follow
Rebellion’s cooperative arcade tank combat gameBattlezonewas an early highlight for PlayStation VR, and now that the reboot has made its way to Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, it’s finally time to make room for non-VR players. With this week’sBattlezone Gold Editionon PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, you won’t need a headset to play, and all previously-released content likeClassic Modeis included.
This is a fun, challenging game that really lends itself well to team dynamics. The campaign has procedurally generated missions, and it’s a balancing act of trying to toughen up your tanks so they can stand a chance in the final mission but not lingering for too long — the AI grows stronger too.
Battlezoneis best played in VR with a solid crew, but it’s still worth a look without a headset. If you already own the game,Gold Editionis a free update. It’s also headed to Switch this summer.
