We had the opportunity to go hands on with Catan VR and came away very impressed with the UI of Catan VR. The VR adapation maintains the tactile, social fun of board gaming while adding to the experience with expressive in-game avatars, crisp voice communications and two intuitive control schemes: touch controls and gaze controls.

Speaking to the managing director of Experiment 7 Demetri Detsaridis and the creative director Geoffrey Zatkin gave me some great insight into how much the team has put into development of this game. Catan VR has 6 different AI types all with different play styles. This allows for different strategies and resource management styles. As a Catan player that generally tries to go for the Longest road it is great to see that one of the AI types plays that way as well.
