This is one of those hidden gems that comes along from time to time and you just say WOW. The graphics are so vibrant and colourful it looks stunning on Quest 3. I love the mechanics of the game and controlling the dragon is very unique, flipping from hand to hand and using the trigger button fires flames from the dragon. Adventure story games are my absolute favourite and I am already loving this, I will fight to keep my dragon alive to save the day.

The Phoenix Gene is a nice rail game where you control a phoenix and help Jackie save her life. The game is really fun you control a phoenix and fire at robot and try to survive. The difficulties level is good enough. The game ain't perfect, but I had a lot of fun so far. Hope the developer will continue to work on it and bring more stuff to it. I definitely recommend this game for peoples who love rail style games.

This is really nice looking game with awesome rail shooting where world keeps changing and you need to navigate trough them + shoot your way with horde of enemies. Really good work out as you need to swap hands order to dodge enemies fire. Environments are all different then any other like no same aspect in these levels. You also collect diamonds and change your dragon color from hot to cold! I definitely recommend this game to rail shooter fans and those who like dragons who shoot fire and ice!

This game makes you move around so make sure you got some space. It's not fitness as you would think in other apps/games but more of a stretching and movement challenge as you play through a storyline so you get to game, get to experience a narrative, and get to do it without feeling too guilty about gaming.

Some of my favorite parts of the game would be spoilers. So, I’ll just start by simply saying that I absolutely love This game! Definite classic Star Fox gameplay vibes, except that you can now virtually control and guide your hero instantly with either hand as needed. There is much replay value for not only upgrades and achievements, but just for the pure adrenaline rush alone. It also has a very intriguing story that wonderfully manages to surprise and has some delightful twists I wasn’t expecting.
