Desolate Sands

A pretty good VR puzzle enter the temple game that lacks in certain areas, Work out the puzzles to open doors to further your adventure deep into the ancient temple. Video gameplay: https://youtu.be/Sm6YVcbHSmQ Pros: Puzzles are well thought out and the climbing mechanic is a nice touch. Looks good graphically but did drop to 1.4 SS due to repro at 2 which I normally run most games at. Atmosphere is good Control wise using the Vive controllers is fine Had a real sense of accomplishment solving the puzzles Price vs content is fair. Cons: The sound is almost none existent which is a pity Overall a good VR puzzle game at the right price and a recommend.

Interesting game so far though the puzzles are a bit easy to solve and i was expecting fall damage but that wasnt the case. Visually the game looks good though with as many smooth surfaces and sharp edges the game feels a little cheap. No story line only puzzles which was a bit disappointing but wasn't expecting much at the price point. My biggest issue with the game is the motion sickness from movement. All in all if you don't get motion sickness and want a puzzle game this is a good price from some time killing.

Climbing is tedious and repetitive, no menu, no save function that would have been cool after I turn all the pillars in the second level, heard a rumbling sound but nothing happened etc. Cool visuals though not recommended.

Solid VR puzzle game with a great setting and atmosphere. I really enjoyed the climbing aspects of it. The design of the different rooms was great as well. Overall a good game for the price.

This game is not good plain and simple.

All in all, I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. Pretty nice visuals for the most part, lots of flashy atmospheric pizzazz, but could use a little polish here and there (you can see through seams on some of the models, some bloom effects are overly bright, things like that). Puzzles were pretty well-made and felt satisfying, but the concepts weren't really new (and two were on the same principle) Assuming I did finish it (I didn't get a credits scene or anything, just found myself at the beginning again), I cruised through it in about two and a half hours, so kinda short. Little bit awkward if you have a small play space; there's no teleport locomotion (just smooth-movement directional motion with the touchpads) and you can't turn without actually turning.
