Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Wake
The Wake strips combat down to its core: you're in a VR space, enemies come at you, and you grab whatever's lying around to hit them with. Hand-to-hand feel matters here, and the weapon variety is genuinely broad - bats, axes, bladed weapons, explosives, guns, and that aforementioned chainsaw all behave differently enough to make experimentation worthwhile. It's pure sandbox violence without narrative cruft. What works is the tactile feedback and the freedom to approach each encounter however you want. What's less clear is whether there's enough depth to keep you engaged beyond the first few runs. Low-profile indie VR titles like this live or die on whether the core loop scratches the itch it's going for, and mileage will vary wildly depending on your tolerance for wave-based combat with minimal progression systems.
