Ready to lose two weeks of your life every 3 months? Me too.

I wanted this game to be great. I love the idea of what they did with this, and I was looking forward to spelunking. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the controls. Their teleporter was a great idea to traverse without giving the player free reign to break the game. However, mine just continually decided that it wanted to either get attached to my belt, or would transport me back to the step before i had thrown it. One step forward, two steps back, as it were. Other times (it appears this is part of the design) it would just disappear and not teleport me to an area I threw it to. Perhaps this is trying to keep me out of somewhere I I couldn't go or, or a drop that's too high, or just a dead end not worth bringing the player to. Regardless, there was no feedback to tell me what I was doing wrong. I get that the point of the game is exploration so I'm not expecting to be led along, but maybe a red flash or small buzzer to let me know that I've thrown it in the wrong spot (and even maybe a little message as to what's wrong) would be nice.

In general the index controls (can't speak for anything else) were too finicky and I found myself either dropping my tools or placing them in my belt in lieu of throwing them. Then not being able to retrieve them from the floor due to reach. Hopefully I'm just being dumb (most reviews are quite positive), but I can't recommend the game from the experience I got, which was only being able to bumble my way in the first couple rooms of the cave.

This game is amazing, just like all the ones that came before it! That being said, I did find this one to be a bit short compared to the others, especially for the price-point. I finished in about 3 hours. Still worth playing though!

This is a great little escape the room type game. Lasts about 2 hours. I found everything to be interesting and some of the puzzles were original. My only complaint is shooting down the flying drones is annoying and in my opinion they don't add much to the game.

Interesting little point and click with some light combat. This game is a good introduction to some VR concepts. Each level integrates a new mechanic, however they aren't carried over to future areas, which is a bummer. They could have done more with them. Overall the game was short (about 2 hours), so worth it if it is on sale.

This game is simply amazing. As close to Symphony of the Night as you can get for the most part. Interesting story, good soundtrack, awesome gameplay.

Galaga VR anyone? I thought this would be a bit nauseating from the videos but you don't actually move after the elevator up to your station. It's a great use of the headset as an aiming device, although I wish that there was functionality for the vive controllers. (Odd note, there might be given from some prompts in the game, but steam claims that I need to load the game with a controller or a keyboard.)

This is a great little experience! While I can see some getting sick from the hovership, the use of a chair is a great prop for a 15 minute jaunt on a strange planet. I think we could all use a full game that uses this type of concept.

Puzzle games can be hit or miss quite easily. I think with a little more work this one could be good. The grabbing and movement mechanics are quite good, and the puzzle concepts could be expanded upon. I've never been a 'finish in the minimum number of moves' kind of person, but that might scratch an itch for some people. I would come back and play if more puzzles were added.

If you're a Star Wars fan, this will be a joy to play, albeit a very short joy. The droids have always been one of my favorite parts of the series, and you get to interact with them for a few minutes in this experience. I hesitate to call it a game as there isn't really a way to fail that I could see. Like the light saber challenge that came before this, I really want them to flesh this out more. A full SW game in VR would be a great thing to have for the Vive.
