Review: Avem888 VR is a polished looking endless runner that aims to turn the endless runner game genre on its head. Sadly its older brother Avem33 VR did a far better job. The problem with Avem888 is its playing speed. While the “hard” setting does offer some challenge it is far to steep a learning curve for people to get used to with only the “medium” setting offering something more manageable an enjoyable than the super-slow “easy” setting. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot to love with this game from its music to its shiny graphics, but playing it isn’t half as much fun as Avem33 was. But this is still worth a download if you love your endless runners, but probably best to wait for a sale of some kind.
