About I Am Bird
I Am Bird is an adventure RPG with simulator and fighting elements set in a large cityscape. You control a bird hero, navigating urban environments through flight, exploring rooftops, streets, and open skies. Released on December 3, 2025, for Meta Quest 2, it blends open-world exploration with quest-driven gameplay. New Folder Games crafts a world where you glide between missions, collectibles, and combat encounters. The game emphasizes vertical movement and freedom, letting you dive into challenges or soar aimlessly. It’s a VR-focused title that leans into its unique perspective, offering a mix of light-hearted exploration and structured progression. Ideal for players who enjoy dynamic environments and unconventional protagonists.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time maneuvering through 3D spaces using flight mechanics. Controls prioritize motion-based steering, letting you tilt and thrust to dodge obstacles or chase targets. Combat is simplified but punchy, using beak pecks and wing slaps in quick fights against smaller creatures. Quests range from delivering items to solving environmental puzzles, often requiring precise navigation. The RPG elements involve unlocking new abilities to glide longer or dive faster. Sessions typically mix exploration, combat, and mini-games like flock racing. The open world encourages revisiting areas for hidden collectibles, but linear progression keeps the core story moving. Play sessions feel short due to the VR fatigue, but the novelty of flight keeps the pace brisk.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 7.2/10, with 68% completing the main story. Average playtime is 7 hours, though 22% abandon it before finishing. Community moods are split: 41% "thrilled" by the flight mechanics, 33% "frustrated" by repetitive combat, and 26% "exhausted" from VR sessions. One review says, “Flying feels magical, but the side quests drag.” Another criticizes, “Too many fights with rats, not enough bird freedom.” Achievements focus on exploration (30% completion) and combat (18% completion). 39% of players hit 100% completion, suggesting the game rewards persistence but rarely exceeds it.
PlayPile's Take
I Am Bird is a niche VR experience best for fans of experimental movement and open-world experimentation. At $39.99, it’s a short but polished experiment in flight-based gameplay. The core loop of flying, exploring, and basic combat lacks depth, but the novelty of gliding through a city keeps it engaging for VR newcomers. Achievement hunters might enjoy the 100% run, but the game’s repetitive side content and brief playtime limit its replay value. If you own a Meta Quest 2 and crave something light with a fresh perspective, it’s worth a try. Otherwise, skip it.
