Panoptic
I’ve followed this game ever since I watched Node play it on their channel. Since then, I’ve followed gameplay videos and watched their development, hoping for the day I could play it. Once I finally got my VR headset, it was the first game I bought. And I can only say it was well worth it. Shortly after, they fully released the game, introducing more features, new sound design, and a cool new map. Today, the gameplay never gets old, and I enjoy challenging myself both at the keyboard and in the headset. Every game is different, and it challenges your approach and attention to detail. Great party game if you ask me - the fun never ends. My only complaint is that one of the maps has a bug that affects the headset with glitchy movement (disorienting), which is a shame - I love the art and music in that level. Team Panoptes, if you read this, please try to fix this issue. After that, I will have no further complaints over what I consider one of my top favorite VR games.

This is the only multiplayer VR game I have truly enjoyed. Panoptic brings great innovation in the VR genre! I hope to see more local multiplayer VR games with headset vs keyboard/mouse players.
Currently, the game has 7 levels, all beautifully and intricately designed. Some are easier for the Challenger, others are easier for the Overseer. Settings allow you to tweak the difficulty to handicap either player. Playing in VR as the Overseer truly feels like you are overseeing a world of minions doing your bidding. Playing as the Challenger makes you feel small with tense game play and a struggle to survive. It’s amazing how well the developers made two very unique, asymmetric experiences in one game.
