  The puzzles increasing in complexity also offers the opportunity to show off incredible environments. Textures look brilliant throughout, some environments are massive, and in VR, the scale is presented in a very convincing way. You’ll usually be able to see other clues or steps in the puzzles across the room, which can help jog your memory about where to go or what to do next in a compelling way.

  While lighter on adventure elements than earlier games in the series, the gameplay is as innovative and fun as ever (with one or two exceptions), and the story of The Craftsman is advanced in an interesting way. If you have the proper hardware and enjoy puzzles, The Room VR is a must-have for your collection.

  With little in the way of replay value since you'll already know how to solve all the puzzles, there's not a ton of long term value here. While it lasted I really enjoyed The Room VR: A Dark Matter but it ultimately left me wanting more. More environments, more movement options, more story. For the right price, I definitely recommend experiencing it but what I'm really looking forward to is a follow-up, to see if a great start can be grown into a truly great game.

  The Room VR: A Dark Matter does a great job of making its interactive puzzle boxes more than just hunting for the right knob, often leaning into what VR does best by putting you into cool situations that are shown off in flashy and polished fashion. Unfortunately, there’s just not a lot of it here, and its intricate detail can occasionally cause confusion as you flail at the mostly inert world around you. Still, its two hours of puzzles were certainly worth solving.

  The Room VR: A Dark Matter is an exemplary puzzle game that not only serves as a prime example of what makes puzzle games so compelling in the first place, but elevates the genre via VR with supreme interactivity, excellent visuals, and a palpably mysterious atmosphere. It’s only held back slightly by some minor frustrations with pacing and difficulty, but is otherwise one of the best puzzle games available in a VR headset.

  Thankfully, it is a perfect fit for VR, and the series’ barebone narrative makes this is a great chance for newcomers to jump onboard. The puzzle-box gameplay is great for VR, and Fireproof’s moody environments should delight fans of atmospheric horror. In some ways, A Dark Matter is the culmination of everything Fireproof has done on mobile, but I also hope that it is a new beginning for the series in VR.

  The Room VR: A Dark Matter is a complex puzzler that gives you plenty to do, and makes sure you’re never left in limbo if you’re struggling to progress. The visuals are great, and the audio makes every crank, mechanism, and object feel real. Whilst the rooms take a while to complete, and the text and level of detail can strain your eyes, it’s still a fantastic puzzle game that keeps you on your toes throughout.

  The Room VR es una entrega más de la veterana saga, un juego de puzles que en VR deja una colección de puzles sorprendente y con algunas situaciones muy molonas, pero que se ve lastrada por una duración paupérrima para los estándares actuales, y más con el precio que tiene...

  El paso de Fireproof Games de móviles a dispositivos de realidad virtual les ha sentado tan bien como a su saga móvil The Room. Los veteranos de Burnout han demostrado una gran soltura adaptando la fórmula a este nuevo formato, y hemos disfrutado mucho resolviendo los misterios que nos proponen.

  Leider gibt es auch Schwachpunkte wie ein fummeliges Kugel-Minispiel oder der Umstand, dass die Aufmerksamkeit nicht immer gut genug auf den nächsten Schritt gelenkt wird. Man kann sich in den verwinkelten Arealen also leichter „verlaufen“ als z.B. in Form, Moss (zum Test) oder Ghost Giant (zum Test), die sich besser auf abgetrennte Bereiche konzentrieren. Wer auch in VR-Knoblern ordentlich gefordert werden möchte, kommt hier aber klar auf seine Kosten!
