Lots of fun and literally way too much to do. Goofy and full of heart, lovable characters, and side stories that are very high quality.



The combat is a little imprecise and would greatly benefit from a more fleshed out targeting system. That's my only negative.

The game window is too small for how hectic this gets, when smoke starts to fly you will 100% lose track of your character

I enjoyed Sands of Time as a youth, but many years later I am going back to play the sequel.

This game is actual garbage. You will spend most of your time fighting the camera which decides to do a 180 degree spin and reorient your character during tricky platforming sections. You will die many times, but 90% of the deaths will feel extremely cheap. You will encounter bugs and glitches. You will be forced to repeat content repeatedly both because checkpoints are unnecessarily scarce, and also because the level design forces you to backtrack. I got about halfway through and am just quitting because it is no longer fun.

This game appeals deeply to my love for CCGs. There are a lot of novel mechanics here that are incredibly thematic, and a few things borrowed from magic that are missing from hearthstone (like simultaneous combat). It does not however have a "stack" or reactive mechanics, which are responsible for MTG being one of the deepest strategy games ever created.

Regardless, It's better in just about every way from Hearthstone and if that's the itch you are looking to scratch this game is perfect. It can feel a bit busy sometimes with esentially three separate board states at any given time, but ultimately you get acclimated and it enhances the strategy. There is a neat back and forth of pressuring and testing your enemies defenses before ultimately you give up on one of your lanes and race your opponent to victory. Just like the MOBA I know and love. Hereoes acting as essentially upgradable EDH commanders is pretty cool and I really like the way it dictates the boardstate.

If I were to levy any complaint against the card design it's that the current set feels very light on strategies that manipulate looting or filtering mechanics, a staple for most CCGs.

The monetization scheme does not bother me at all, it's beyond fair for a CCG, especially since you can also buy/sell cards on the marketplace. You start with 10 free packs and a constructed deck is only like 20 bucks max at the moment. You can do phantom drafts or casual constructed play without any prizes to your hearts content without spending a dime after the initial purchase. It only costs money when you play for prizes. I kind of despise that this game is getting reviewed bombed by the children out there who don't have a bank account and so they can't play, but such is the nature of the internet.

Overall 8/10, potential 10/10 if future sets evolve the game mechanics and strategy.

The puzzles show lots of potential, the graphics are nice and the interactability of the world is excellent.

Episode one was short, but the story setup grabbed me and I am now waiting with bated breath for the second.

Cheers for great VR content to come!

Game has a neat atmosphere and I dug the Indonesian horror elements and boss fights


However,

I hit a game breaking bug right after the second boss in Act 2 where after walking down the path past the mother and chiild ghost my game crashed and every time I load my save I see nothing but black everywhere and cannot move even though I can still use my camera.

Also, the "puzzles" have arbitrary solutions and no real hints other than just wander around until something random you do unlocks the next objective
