'Westworld: The Maze' is an Immersive Game on Amazon Alexa

— July 4, 2018 — Pop Culture

In all, Westworld: The Maze offers more than two hours of unique gameplay, although the game takes about just 20 minutes to be completed.

As well as being able to offer a wealth of information and carry out a variety of simple tasks, voice assistants are becoming highly involved in gaming experiences. While some voice assistants take on the role of facilitators, others serve as allies that have the potential to enhance gameplay—either way, voice assistants are engaging guides for next-gen gaming experiences.
