Description: Escape!VR is an escape room puzzle game for the Gear VR. The player is trapped in a room, and must use only their wits to make it out alive. Escape!VR’s first room features a time bomb waiting to explode. in order to save yourself, you’ll need to figure out how to defuse the bomb, and not have it explode in your face!

Review: This classic ‘escape the room’ style puzzle game is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. With some pretty good puzzles and a handy “hint” system (that a lot of other games in the genre don’t have), this game can keep you amused and gets the brain working. While only having 2 rooms isn’t great and having to pay extra for more rooms is also pretty bad I did still have fun playing it. Sure it looks basic, sure the puzzles are not that hard and yes the game has a few bugs. But for a less than a single pound, it is well worth a go.
