DUO

[h1] DO NOT BUY THIS [/h1] I love arcade games. I love VR. I love VR arcade games. I thought, sweet, a brick breaker for VR?! Immediately purchased. Then almost Immediately refunded. This is not an enjoyable experience. Cons: 1. There is no options or settings menu. 2. There is no tutorial. (there are no buttons to press so this is arguably understandable but I still want you to tell me what the goal is or something.) 3. You cannot simply reflect the shots back into the play field. You have to physically swing -hard- to give them enough force to fly back to the bricks. Like playing tennis. I played for 11 minutes and was done exerting. 4. You cannot angle your shield to "aim" the shots. They stay parallel to the bricks so if you want to change the angle of the shot you have to use the very outer edge of the shield which only offers 1 alternate angle, and is very hard to do. 5. Because the balls bounce around 3D space and can very easily go behind the clump of bricks, they always seem to return to you on the perimeter of your play area. Rarely do they hit bricks and return straight back to you close to center. Not so bad except then you are forced to look in the extreme direct…

A simple puzzle game where you have to move a lot around. For those who like to be physically active but also want a simple puzzle game as well, this is the game for you. It helps me to forget things and get my mind back in focus again. In short, start solving puzzles while moving about.

Fun take on Arkanoid/Breakout in VR. Good for getting some light exercise, and it's cheap as well. NB: I played it on the Quest 2 with no issues despite Oculus devices not being listed as supported headsets on the Steam page.

I had one issues with this game which was the fact that I can't re-center the game. I have a window on my right side and when I loosen up I have a bad feeling I'm gonna smash the window. All I wish is to have the ability to re-enter the game.

Duo is fairly simple and surprisingly addictive. You are in a room on a space station. The same room every time, listening to the same uplifting trance soundtrack. You have balls that you whack with your shields. They bounce around, and break the blocks of structures built to be various things, like an elephant, or a tie fighter. You have to smash enough blocks in a set time frame to win the round. You can get power ups, like extra balls and more time. You can get power downs, like 'black out' where everything turns black and white, or 'small ball', where your whacky balls get smaller and thus easier to fly over your shields. If you don't hit the ball heading towards you, it goes out of bounds and you lose it. If you lose too many balls you lose the round. I think I paid like $2.50 for this on sale. I love it when a game gives you far more enjoyment for the price than you ever expected. Good exercise and good fun. Based on price-to-enjoyment ratio alone, it gets a perfect rank in my books. Even if I'd paid full price (which is only twice what I paid), I'd say the same. This is one you can't afford not to have in your collection!

The oldest video game in the world brought into the future. There are two balls which bounce around and you need to guard and reflect them with your shields in such a manner to destroy some cubic sculpture that is in the middle of the room. The game has a lot of levels.
