Flow
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
So this is yet another meditation app for VR. This one uses short looping stereoscopic 360 videos. Unfortunately, this means there are no interactions and you’re only using your motion controllers to select items from the menu.
This is free at the moment with several meditations to enjoy, from calm to focused to more intense. You can also buy some DLC. However, there’s mention of a registration and subscription plan in the future. I’m not sure this experience is premium enough to warrant that, of course, Flow EHF is free to do whatever they want to monetize their product. I just don’t think it would be successful.

Flow is not a game. It’s a bunch of VR videos and some hippy soundtracks to aid in meditation. There’s no gameplay loops, there’s no gameplay or meaningful interaction.
It’s intended to be a paid/subscription kind of service but seems to have been abandoned prior to that. That doesn’t stop the developers trying to scam the hippies for this non-game, there’s a whopping $20 worth of predatory DLC.
To paraphrase PT Barnam, there’s a hippy born every minute, and two to take ‘em.
Anyway, this is not a game, despite being erroneously published as a game, cannot be recommended as one.

Highly Likely
This is one of the most tedious, poorly crafted, boring, pointless games I’ve ever played.
The art is phenomenal. The developers’ interactions with folks on the internet is disappointing. It’s buggy and slow and repetitive.
There are no puzzles, there’s barely a story, there is no skill involved, it’s poorly translated, it’s a little sexist, and the characters' motivations are all over the map. There’s literally a segment in this game where you need to cross a river, so you hold the joystick to the left for over a minute while he slowly turns a crank. This happens multiple times. The most engaging moment of the whole thing is a long and laborious multi-part fetch quest.

Highly Likely is a short and light-hearted point-and-click game that is set in a rural Ukraine and follows a man named Mikola as he tries to get himself out of an enormous debt that he owes to the bank. He finds himself a new business opportunity, one that is risky and could land him in trouble with the law, but he knows that he’s got no other choice. This is the basic story premise that is very relatable and could happen to just about anyone.

Faraday Protocol
Hey Devs, great game. I found some of the levels challenging and a good use of logic. I did my first run in 14 hrs. and even enjoyed a second run to collect my missing collectible achievement. The jumping portions in some of the puzzles were quite easy once I figured out the timing sequence. A well thought out game and highly recommended. I’d like to see a sequel.

Awesome game. Addictive. Absolutely beautiful to look at. The puzzles are challenging and interesting. Its also pretty simple and straightforward but with a cool backstory. Would be fun to have a 2 player option, making the puzzles even more mind-bending. I really hope they make a sequel!

Virtual Becomes Reality: A Stanford VR Experience
It’s a short yet affective experience that points a finger towards the possibilities that VR can offer to everyone in the world. It talks about some interesting psychological experiments which peaked my interest to research more articles relating to what was shows in this experience. I recommend it to everyone who has a VR, it’s simply 15~ minutes long and you get to learn some interesting thoughts!
I thank to everyone who put their time and effort into this project. I too hope that in the future, we’ll be able to have portable VR technology in our daily lives that are used not only for entertainment but also used for enchanting human interactions and focusing on education aswell. Who knows? Maybe the time where we’ll have Augmented Reality (AR) and/or VR contact lenses is closer than we imagine.

That was cool! I was at Stanford many years ago, and would’ve dropped by in 2020 if our road trip hadn’t been cancelled. It was a pleasure to meet you guys by using the VR equipment I invested my holiday savings in instead - making the best of the situation indeed! Cheers from overseas!

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/nwsQAz496Ck
This is a story-driven shooter set in Victorian England. Some plague is happening and the city is quarantined. It’s a real cheap price for only $6 USD, but there is a reason for that. It’s in Early Access and well, it’s very unpolished.
I would have loved to have done a full review for this game. Unfortunately, I ran into too many bugs. My whole experience ended when I encountered a game-breaking bug that stopped my progress about 20 minutes into the game. I tried picking up a book to place it in the correct order, but the book would disappear. There’s no inventory system. I tried seeing if the book would spawn back when I clicked on the place to place the book, but nothing happened. You need to place the books to get a key to open a door to be able to progress.
