The Mixologist

Aight this game must be a quest game cause it does NOT play nice with my index. Grabbin works 50 percent of the time, so trying to hurry will result in knocking everything over. If i could play as smoothly as the trailers show, that'd be awesome, as I love bartending irl. It's frustrating more than it's fun, and i bet there's a simple fix for it that the devs are just overlooking, or dont care about. There'e no reason for such poor optimization. Basically, they need to make the game fun for everyone, not just quest people...

I like the concept and making drinks was fun, but I failed the first mission cause I couldn't grab the right object. I played the private mode which removed my character resulting in having no hands or indicators for hands. It wasn't game breaking cause you can infer where your hands are, but if you tried to grab the glass you wanted to, you grab a different glass. How about that drink you just finished, sorry you grabbed something behind or near it so it flies into that drink causing it to fall. it went from cool to frustrating in less than a 0.5 hr. It needs way more polish before its as good as the trailer makes it seem.

If you have a quest I would say buy it on quest , you have to airline and stuff to play it it will not … I repeat will NOT run on steam Var

This game really does a good job of capturing what its like to run a bar, but the item grabbing is so jank that it ruins the flow adding a layer of frustration that just shouldn't be there. I really want to like, and recommend this game but in this state its just not good.

Is the game a bit clunky and silly at times? Sure... I would say that the bar to move the drinks along should be on the top above the drinks rather than the bottom as I grab it often while attempting to grab other things. Especially when you start, until you have the drinks by memory, it can be hard to get the drinks out in time. Overall though as someone who likes the idea of being a mixologist without worrying about buying drinks just to possibly spill them, I was so excited to see a game like this in VR and I had so much fun playing it. The levels are fun and the idea to make your own drinks is so cool as well as the relaxing sounds of the drinks getting poured, the ice, the shaker, popping off the cap of the bottle... and many more. Could still use some polishing on some parts but imo, this is a great idea for a VR title and I recommend you try it out if you like mixing drinks and seeing other people spill them. Very fun!

A fun game to play with friends. If you like throwing stuff at customers and accidentally spilling orders, this game is for you.
