Description: Don’t get stuck in your old minesweeper style games with just a basic grid. Challenge yourself on a virtual reality version set on a variety of islands in all shapes and sizes. Virtually dig the ground and locate the landmines without blowing yourself up. Each tile with a number defines how many landmines are adjacent to it. Each tile has eight possible locations.

Review: ‘BombSweeperVR’ is very much what its title suggests. It’s the classic Minesweeper game, only in VR. You have a flag to mark potential mines, an axe to pick away at blank squares (or set a mine off) and a shovel to dig the mines up. To be fair it works simple enough and is just as much fun to play as the classic game. But even paying the small sale price of £4.31 I felt short-changed. With only 25 levels and very little replay value here there simply isn’t enough to justify that price. I don’t mind the game at all, but getting it as cheaply as possible should be your priority.
