Let's be beaten Room series Half life of puzzle games in locked boxes. It's trending in its category, and its creators have just released a sequel that is only played in reality.
Room VR: The Dark Story, the fifth game in the middle Room The franchise, released PC and PlayStation virtual platforms last Thursday, three days after the expected return Half life in the form of VR-only Half-Life: Alyx.
Both games are forcing fans to decide whether they want to continue their VR experience. The Dark Side good entry into the series, but, as with all VR games, the need to have a set with special controllers makes entry costs high. At least, with new differences Half life, there is a low-budget but fully playable PSVR budget alongside the more advanced versions of Oculus and Steam VR.
Room the series is not made for people who want to be in space marches, magical battles or sci-fi city dwellers. It is a game for people who have thought of opening a secret door by removing a suitable book from a bookshelf.

From game to game, each entry of the series for the past decade plays out as a set of interactive elements that are very engaging to discover how to use locked objects by altering hidden dials, input codes, and input keys included in other puzzle boxes. The good fourth Room a game, in early 2018 Room: Old sins, it was about opening up a complexhouse, allowing players to slow down and solve puzzles from room to room while sometimes running away and solving complexities involving the core of the house.
All games are presented with no character in view, erasing the player's gaze from any inconvenience as they try to solve the room puzzle. The new VR entry features players completely, as if they were a person walking into these rooms, using their virtual hands (as controlled by VR controllers) to handle things. The Dark Side places the player in spaces filled with puzzles, including an office, a room full of ancient Egyptian artifacts (this may have been shipped back to Egypt) and a gothic church. Players receive anticipated, decorated puzzle boxes, but also find doors with complex keys, mysterious symbols of key symbols, and a virtual device that appears to print different keys based on the phases of the moon.
Puzzles are no different than in previous games, or VR and handheld controllers make them feel more real. Room games were first introduced on tablets, and in that scene it has always been an effective secret. Drag your finger across the screen to open the puzzle box panel, or draw a circle to open the button. VR also helps that the illusion of emotions as the game invites you to reach out with your real hands to pull ribs, wrap wires and use a crystal ball, among other things.
VR also enhances the feeling of the series. The puzzle boxes in this game are as big as the actual boxes. The locked doors are taller than the player. When the game lets you down to use the power of the key inside the keyhole, it sounds like that little bit is now great.
Room games pass quickly, especially if you've played one before and know the basic rhythm of the puzzles. The developers at Fireproof Games make great puzzles, but not too complicated. There are rarely many variables to consider, and careful consideration of one's surroundings or the use of a good, timely plan makes the development enjoyable.
User reviews however are limited The Dark Side for only one thing: its increase compared to its price. This is an unpleasant way to judge a game, but the stats for this are strong. Earlier Room games are presented on tablets for about $ 5 and can last several hours. The Dark Side it's $ 30 (plus the cost of a VR headset if you don't have one) and reviewers say they specify about three hours, which is in line with our experience. It is possible to play it a bit, entertain each room full of puzzle and break the game in multiple organizations. That is largely a matter of will.
If only Room games not removed from tablets, their opportunity as a VR experience can feel more transformative. They have always been puzzles you all know but reach and touch. VR fits that well, not developing a franchise well and not managing it. The Dark Side is a very well-followed and one of the best VR games you can play. Room, after all, is always the best regardless of format.
