The Last Safe Place

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/NBq9UOML218 [u]This is a neutral recommendation or wait for an update recommendation.[/u] So in all honesty, I was actually enjoying playing this puzzle adventure game. However, the reason I'm only giving it a neutral recommendation is due to some of the bugs I ran across, along with some other issues. Let's talk about the good first. This seems like a nice value game given the production values for a puzzle adventure game at this price point. It has some good Voice Overs. The cavern system is also very interesting to explore with some nice visuals. It looks & feels like you're in an adventure. The puzzles haven't been difficult early on, but you do have to pay attention to your surroundings. However, the bad points are things that maybe some in VR just can't look past. The biggest thing is that the game is teleport only and snap turn only (you cannot choose degree of turn). There is no smooth / full locomotion or smooth turning available. There are also no graphical settings or sound settings available. This is all a huge miss by the developer, these are all things that…

An interesting evening diversion; I've been playtesting this before release and I've played it so many times! More times than you would, but hopefully I've fallen and gotten caught in all the glitches so you don't have to. So it's hard to give a review at all! I've falling through the floor so the current version could exist at all. You're touring an excavation site, and then fall in deeper. Some of the puzzles are basic 'learn the VR' ones, and then they get more difficult. Stop and smell the roses, things will happen. Eventually you fall down the rabbit hole and honestly, don't ask me how to get out. But there's a story there, too, while you're playing with the puzzles ^-^ I would recommend this. I like little puzzle games, where the story is in the world. For someone who's very game oriented, this isn't more than an evening's worth - but a VR game that lasts longer than a movie and costs the same? That seems a good deal to me.

As of right now, I cannot recommend the game. The game crashed on me three times in the short time that I played it. I liked what I was playing so far, with the exception of interacting with a number pad. That was awful, I had to hold my hand in a weird way to enter a number, I couldn't take my index finger and simply poke the button. Took over five minutes to enter a number. I'm playing this on a Vive Pro 2 and pairing with a 3080 and a core i7. Perhaps an update to the software would fix the crashes and interface.

I like the game but it has glitches, hopefully they will update and fix the game, and it will be better
