Editorial Review

Aug 2, 2024

Pros

  • + Impression and immersivity, especially if you played original game
  • + Fantastic world, characters and atmosphere
  • + Nicely crafted puzzles with authentic mechanics and difficulty
  • + Rich story and focus on story-telling and exploration
  • + Great re-imigination of original with VR support, very special for old fans

Cons

  • – Some puzzles might be quite difficult
  • – Lack of in-game hints and journal for notes
  • – Game isn't running perfectly on Quest 2 due lack of performance (see the note)

This is a well-crafted VR reimagination of the legendary game, but we won't recommend it to everyone due to its non-casual difficulty. It is an ideal choice for fans of the series and those who enjoy above-average challenge in puzzle games.
