Salary Man Escape

Pros 1) puzzles are nicely designed and there are different mechanisms that make the puzzle solving more varied in each chapter 2) the music is original and creates a good atmosphere 3) I like what the developers are getting at with the whole satirical salaryman thing Cons 1) unable to advance further if you're stuck on a level...the difficulty curve is big 2) trouble moving blocks sometimes

There's quite a big difficulty curve on the puzzles, and the stages with the boss in my opinion are the best. I'd recommend it to any puzzle game lover and the soundtrack is a jam.

Salary Man Escape is jenga-like physics puzzle build up for VR with enjoyable tactile gameplay and very catchy soundtrack. There are 72+ levels starting from soft tutorials and ending with very complicated puzzles that require extensive planning and precise execution. The game introduces new mechanics(and more importantly new songs) with every new stage and keeps it fresh. Puzzles themselves has just the right amount of difficulty and optional objectives are quite challenging. Controls feel a bit weird at first: you can't directly rotate objects or move them vertically and only one motion controller is active. But you get used to it pretty quickly and it is an important restriction to streamline puzzles and avoid turning the game into a physics sandbox. There is a flat screen mode for the game, but manipulating objects with motion controller in VR is way more comfortable than doing it with mouse or gamepad.

This is a very unique puzzle game. I don't have VR, but even without it the experience was amazing. The levels in each episode started very easy, but quickly became challenging to the point where I would nervously say "I've had enough", turn the game off, only to turn it back on after 5 mins and try again. That's how hooked this game got me. But when I had finally managed to solve some difficult room, the feeling of achievement was overwhelming. And the soundtrack, oh man, the funk! So yeah, I recommend this.

checked the game out after seeing a gameplay video on youtube. I played the VR version and wish you could move the blocks both hands, instead only the right hand can be used. other than that the puzzles are intruiging. will keep on playing to see what else the game has to offer.

The controls can be kind of tough for this one, and I think there is a lot more potential to the whole salaryman trying to escape story setting, but it doesn't detract from the main point of the game which are the intense puzzles. If you like puzzles, you should try it out.javascript:DSelectNoop();
