50 levels of blissful trance shooting action are set to a blistering soundtrack. "POLYBIUS is a fast, trippy tunnel shooter playable on a normal screen or in VR. Having tried some crazy shi* when it comes to gaming the last 30 years, nothing comes close to this game - especially due to the VR.īut let's take it slow - what is Polybius?
