Plumber
This is fun for a time. I HATE the time limit. I much prefer to approach puzzles in a logical way, and this game lends itself to a slow and methodical approach rather than a scramble.
Also, the torch and dark levels add nothing but jank (now we have to work with one hand whilst holding a torch in the other).
Also, the bugs (worst part) led me to lose my trust in some of the levels having a solution, as there are levels that are obviously impossible becasue of programming faults.
Also, the spelling mistakes….

This is a fun little 3D puzzle game that challenges your spatial visualization abilities with the classic “connect the pipes to make the water flow” concept.
I’m playing standing up and walking around to pick up and place the pipes, which needs a large enough play space, I have not played it sitting down.
I’ve completed 65 Tasks so far. One was unsolvable due to a bug (one pipe won’t connect to other pipes), and two have a part spawning in a way that activates the water valve, but if you catch it fast enough when the levels start, you can solve them.

EscapeVR: Trapped Above the Clouds
Oh boy that was an adventure !
I played escape games in real life and this virtual one is reeeeeeally good !
I can’t tell you much about the gameplay (I don’t want to spoil you) but it’s a really well designed game, really clever.
I finished it in about 1H10, taking my time.
If you have a virtual headset, you must definitly buy this piece of art of a game !
Totally worth it !
:D

Fun VR game; it took me a couple hours and I used the hints (disclaimer: I’m not familiar with escape games). The hints themselves are very much worth reading, pretty fun and well worded. They don’t give away the solution, but still point you in the right direction. Also, the game has some unexpected and nice physics effects I didn’t expect and did cost me a couple minute alone to play around with ;)
One of my first VR games, and I enjoyed the experience throughout!

Quest for Runia
Super relaxing game for a bit of cooling down after work.
The Controls are far better then i expected them to be.
It happens far less then i thought it would, that i aim at a point on the far end of the ‘gaming table’ and miss the spot i aimed for.
The graphics are a bit bright.. too colorful for my taste, but it doesnt hinder the experience at all. If you like them - even better.
The music adds to the relaxing experience.
The tutorial makes it look like an easy game, but you will soon see, that you have to watch carefully and think a bit before starting a level.

Very nice relaxing game to pause your brain from lockdown, politics, household and so on… I love puzzles and played a lot of Bejeweled on the phone. This is my new Bejeweled in VR - sit down, chill and forget the time. At the beginning it seems easy, but it gets challenging quickly. Above all, I’m someone who always wants three stars, even in other bubbleshooters, and here I haven’t reached them all yet…
I think it might appeal to young and old and VR newcomers, if they love puzzles.

Sudokolorful
It’s a very relaxing game. Perfect for when you just want to chill out and still exercise your brain a little. I liked the idea of a color-based Sudoku. It would be interesting if we had an option for customizing our own palettes.

It’s very colourful!
Love a good puzzle game!

Adam The Storyteller
edit: undo added.
adam the storyteller is a colorful matching game where you get to place all the tiles on the levels. I have to disagree with the ‘intuitive, easy to learn but hard to master’ statement on the store page, as a tutorial and a how to play section had to be added just to cover the basics, but it’s fine now.

Smart Gecko
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Real player with 4.3 hrs in game
(This game was received for curation with no promise of a review, positive or otherwise.)
Smart Gecko is essentially a simple variant of the “don’t cross your own path” puzzle sub-genre. It could have been a passable way to spend a little time, but for the fact that zero effort has been made to fix some pretty glaring issues.
It should have been simple: Move your gecko one space at a time in order to eat all the fireflies and finish the board. Yet there are multiple problems, least of all the lack of a tutorial. It seems like that would be unnecessary, but at least two of your losses will be figuring out that turning into a wall makes your gecko explode violently, as does walking into a pillar (in the game’s overhead view, the pillar looks like something you can walk over). There is no way to undo a bad move, which will happen more than you’d like due to the inexplicable lag after pressing a movement key. There is a timer that doesn’t seem to do anything, and no option to play without it. Finishing a level means you have to actually maneuver your gecko to the edge of the screen, and then press another key to move it off the screen. The problem with this (besides the obvious redundancy) is that you cannot tell where the actual correct path is. And since, as I’ve mentioned, there is no undo key, you’ll just have to start over.

EscapeVR: The Basement
I loved this game. So far this is my favorite escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. Its short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! Also this was a good intro to VR game. My aunt said she would just take a look for a minute. She ended up playing this for over a half hour. As a non-gamer everything in this came naturally to her.

Quite good I’d say, even if I wasn’t able to complete it. I love the look of this game, and other similar games like Welcome Home, Love. It’s got that kinda 3d Studio Max, AutoCad kinda look. It might look like old style computer graphics, but the result is always unique compared to today’s soup of store bought bump-mappy assets. They made other games like this, I don’t think I’ve played them, and they might be on the harder side, so if you’re stupid, like me, it could be hard to escape. Physics/object interactions are above average if I recall.
! I like how it’s 8.99 and not 9.99, which shows conscientiousness. https://youtu.be/Wsh7G_MBdv8

A Rogue Escape
An awesome short experience about learning the ropes of whatever the hell you are doing. The game is an “Escape room” type game, but in all honesty, this feels closer to a proper game with systems and such. I dont want to ruin anything, but the opportunity to make a more fleshed out systems driven game was opportune for this, but this still is just enough.
There is one puzzle that got me badly as the brightness of lights completely concealed the puzzle that I was dealing with, further more, the puzzle arbitrarily locked you out of a mechanism.

It was a good game, but a bit too short. I hope it receives some updates in the future to add more content, but as it stands it only has 2-3 hours of gameplay. It is definitely worth playing, but you may consider waiting for a sale. I loved every moment of playing this game. It had a good story, and extremely fun controls. The sense of mystery brought by the discreet storytelling, and limited view of the outside world made it very captivating.

Greyhat - A Digital Detective Adventure
This game ties if not usurps The Return of the Obra Dinn as my favorite game of all time. I’ve played hundreds of games on Steam and PS4, nearly all of them critical darlings, of all genres and scopes. Alphabetically in my library, it sits between Gorogoa and Guacamelee, and after this, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is next in my queue.
While not trying to spoil anything, I recommend this game to pretty much anybody without reservation, worth every penny of its asking price - but most especially those that actively seek out games of this genre like Obra Dinn and to a lesser extent like Unheard that tickle the brain a little they way a detective or point-and-click adventure game might. Hell even if you like the Ace Attorney series of games, there’s something in here for you too. Far from perfect and I have my critiques, but to be honest my library is full of these faux hacker puzzle/detective games but none are as creative, polished, or fleshed-out or quite frankly as affecting as Greyhat. The “a-ha” moments here are the most rewarding and feel most earned here and for example chatting and “tunneling” elements are two examples of how the devs going out of their way to nail the feeling of being a clandestine keyboard warrior furiously typing messages or lines of code. Were I to say more I’d worry about revealing spoilers.
