Panic Mode
In a world full of hazards, the “if it ain’t broke” line of thinking has lead to quite a precarious situation. Instead of taking preventive caution like say, fire escapes, instead the only company on the planet decides to hire you as a crisis manager. Use the corporate-provided tools (oft comprised of dangerous materials themselves) to prevent imminent chaos and guide the alien species known as ‘Pammies’ to safety.
In each location an accident is bound to happen. First, set up your equipment in the space. When things kick off, use your tools to mitigate the calamity that would otherwise cause all of the pammies to perish. Save the pammies! Or don’t; the company will keep you on as crisis manager regardless of your performance.

Tin Hearts: Prologue
2 Minute Video Review → https://youtu.be/slPuCooKGbg
Tin Hearts is a lemmings type game. Tiny toy soldiers march forward and it’s up to you to guide their path to the goal.
You don’t control the toy soldiers directly, you need to change other objects to steer them. Starting with just simple blocks to make them turn, but eventually you’ll be manipulating other toys to steer them. And there’s some creative contraptions that get involved as well.
The levels start small, but eventually you’ll need to guide the soldiers through large toy shops.

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
The most beautiful VR game I have ever played. Each puzzle room will amaze you with its idyllic charm. You almost forget about the puzzles and just want to look around and play with the different assets. Unfortunately, most of the assets are there just for decoration as you cannot interact with them (outside what the puzzle wants you to interact with to solve the puzzle).
The puzzles follow along the normal Lemming-style puzzle challenges. However, several of the mechanics are done keeping with the toy workshop theme. You can stop time, forward time or reverse time. You’ll use toy blocks to guide your toy soldiers. They will jump on toy drums, take a balloon ride over obstacles, or bounce off a book or toy train. There will be obstacles such as the Jack-in-the-box to avoid.

Swarm the City: Zombie Evolved
I have mixed feelings about this game. While I enjoy’d the gameplay, the game is not completely finished. There is a final chapter that doesn’t unlock, and it really bums you out. Like wtf? It leaves you feeling like you haven’t really beat the game. There’s no congratulation, no finally.. You’re left unable to get legendary parts for upgrades, cause they’re locked behind unreachable levels I guess..? I dunno. It’s rude to charge $15 for a game that isn’t even finished.
For now I am down voting because that is rude on the devs part to release an unfinished game. If the game is finished I will likely change my rating.

I just kept repeating the process of summoning and dying!!! It’s a lot of fun
At the beginning, the game is kinda easy, but it gets hard once you reach chapter 3, and that’s where strategy is needed. Strategy matters a lot, you have to actually think before you start taking actions. It might still be possible that you keep dying unless you are a hardcore rts player.
Even that, Swarm the City is still good for rts starters. The pause function in the game will make it easier for those new rts players to take a break and think about the next move.

This is My Dungeon
/b Lite Quick Early Access
This is a quick lite play. Each round you get to pick a few monsters from a random pool to add to your roster, and allocate up to 6 monster groups to each section of the dungeon (you start with only one section, but it grows over rounds to eventually reach five sections).
After you set up for a round, the action starts. The invaders come from above, and you send your monsters (scattered around the section) to intercept the invaders. Once the fight starts it is hard to see individual units, because they all clump up. Your dead monsters gradually respawn in their original locations, so you repeat the process of sending them back to the fight.

Takelings House Party
Picked this up as it’s one of the few asymmetrical VR games out there. Ultimately, it’s probably the best VR game you could play with friends. The concept is genius and it’s always a fun time when you’re chasing down your friends. It’s fun to replay the levels and there’s a few items/objects to spice things up.
The major downside to this game is simply the content. There’s only 3 levels, and while they’re all fun, I wish there was many many more. This game is so good you just want there to be tons and tons of levels. It only takes maybe an hour to pretty much see all there is to this game. I’ve still got 5x that, purely on replay-ability.

We’re a family of 5, ages 6+, and this game is quite a LOT of fun! Yes, it’s only got 3 levels…but to give everyone a chance to play every level in VR just once…that’s 15 rounds across 5 people! This game is NOT overpriced, and will be a family-game-night staple in our household as-is, but I WOULD NOT suggest it with fewer players - this is a PARTY game.
The kitchen level is really really good, though. The attic is really fun while the wall-breaking is really difficult. I suspect that they only get better with more players.
