Crytek’s VR adventure Back to Dinosaur Island free on Steam

Not the same as Robinson

Is it possible to go “back” to Dinosaur Island without ever having been there in the first place? Apparently it is, because Crytek just released a short virtual reality demo on Steam called Back to Dinosaur Island. From the reviews already up on Steam (most of which show 0.1 hours logged), it sounds like it’s basically a short cutscene made to show off Cryengine and how it plays with VR.

Note this is not the same thing as Robinson: The Journey, which is also a Crytek-developed VR game featuring dinosaurs. Presumably, that will have more game to it, in addition to the pretty foliage and scary Tyrannosaurus rendered in stereoscopic 3D.
