REVIEWS

If you’ve not quite made up your mind yet, you can check out a summary of press previews on our blog.

You can also expect reviews to start going live from 4PM UK time on July 19th. These will pop up online in the hours and days after the game launches, so keep an eye out for those.

VR / NON-VR VERSIONS AVAILABLE

The Assembly has been built from the ground up for virtual reality, so players can experience the game in VR using an Oculus Rift or a HTC Vive. The Assembly will be coming to PlayStation VR later this year.

However, to make the game accessible to all players, you can also play The Assembly on a flat screen without using a VR headset.

So, there will be three purchase options on the Steam page:

  1. The Assembly VR Bundle, featuring the VR and non-VR versions of the game. Upon launch, the player can select whether they want to play in VR or non-VR.
  2. The Assembly (non-VR PC version)
  3. The Assembly ‘VR Unlock’. This is the DLC component required to upgrade the non-VR version of the game to the VR version. Players must own the non-VR version of the game in order to purchase this.
