[h1]Reviewed using HTC Vive Pro[/h1] VR Party Game where you'll "ride-and-catch" the correct items for points that fly towards you 👋 Yet avoid those items that take away points, in this reflex-based GrabBag 👋 ✔️ MARDI GRAB is my FAV 🙃 https://youtu.be/NWPh3yMDplw

Specs: Ryzen R7 1700 Gtx 980ti Classified 20gbs of ddr4 Ram HTC Vive First Impressions: Overall this is a very well made game and will be in my view for a while as it grows and progresses. However, there are some problems that I have found with this game which are not completly the creators fault, but does not help with the problems of VR right now. Level 1: This is probably the first level people will try and the biggest issue is that the art style really shows the screendoor effect that pops up with VR. This causes it to be difficult to see the items that are coming and get a good understanding of the diference between what is coming since you have good and bad items. Also the items I would like to see either a bit bigger or more colorful since they are very hidden in the background until they are right on top of you. Like I said though not completly the creators fault, but should be something to think about. Level 2: Very laggy compared to the other two. A lot of wasted reasource hogging effects going on. The confeitee and the models on the side and such really start tearing down the framerate. Not sure if they used a particle system or what, but might be good to look into a…

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] So there's not much to this game. There are three different environments and you move forward in a vehicle as you touch items that come towards you (or as you go towards them). Certain items give you points and certain items take away points. Your goal is to touch all the items which give you points without touching the other items. Doing so will lead to maximum combo points. You don't actually grab or catch the items (they just have to touch your motion controller avatar hands). There are global leaderboards at the end of each run. Each environment looks unique and the visuals were okay. There's easy, medium, and hard difficulties. I tried normal and hard. I definitely recommend just going hard, [spoiler] TWSS [/spoiler] unless you just need a warmup round. Touching the items that reward points did make an audible cue that went with the music while accidentally touching the wrong items did the opposite. However, the music was forgettable as was the recorded audio of some people making sounds for one of the environments. Is the game worth $1.99? Meh, there are worse ways to spend $2, but I see it as a .99 cents gam…

+Interesting Graphics +Cheap -Virtually no content -Boring -Hit boxes for items that you need to grab (Main part of the game) goes right through hands sometimes. 2/5 Even though it's a fun little mini-game and relatively cheap. I can't recommend this at all due to the main mechanic not working 100% and the whole game just feeling like a cheap mini-game that should be bundled with a dozen other games.

Remember Arcade games? Back in the day when you'd drop a handful of quarters in a machine and maybe get a good 20 mins out of a game? Welcome to GrabBag. It's worth $2 if you're into a new experience or looking to work on your "grabbing stuff flying at your face" skillz.

GrabBag by Developer Shadow Factory is $1.99 on Steam. Clocking in at a slightly over 2 GB – GrabBag is a fairly simple game in which you ride along a predetermined course grabbing objects with your hands. Some objects are good, some objects are bad. On the mardi gras level for instance, grabbing beads is good but grabbing a shoe is bad. It has 3 difficulties across 3 courses ranging from easy to hard with the difficulty. From best I could tell, affecting the amount of negative objects on your run. My honest opinion? For $2 – it works. All of the menus worked and it was very intuitive. But yes, it is a gimmicky VR game for $2 – my expectations are usually met if the game simply works and it does. The level detail actually is fairly impressive on the second and particularly the 3rd level. The thing that baffled me during my playthrough is that perfection seemed fairly easy to obtain and replayability is quite limited. So do you buy it? It is a decent “check out my VR system” title and if you have parties and want to show off something – it is OK. There was some objects quite far to the right so make sure you have plenty of room to make the long reach before you put your hand throug…
