Description: RadianVR is a new vision for an old-school arcade-style puzzle game. Unlike conventional colour-matching puzzle games, in RadianVR you manipulate rings of blocks made of realistic materials such at metals, fabrics, and tiles, in a puzzle that floats in front of you. The end result, especially when playing with dual inputs such as Oculus Touch, is one of feeling immersed in a real-world while playing with a physical puzzle.
With a wide range of special effects—such as locking, rainbow blocks and automatic flipping—the depth and difficulty increase as you play. It includes an arcade mode, a more relaxing “infinite” mode, and a puzzle mode with 100 hand-crafted boards to solve in as few moves are possible.
Review: RadianVR is a classic style puzzle game in which you have to rotate outer layers to match the centre ball. With over 100 hand-crafted boards, several locations to play in and a few different game modes to play, there is more than enough to keep you amused for some time. My biggest problem is that this game would be just as good if not easier to play on a 2D screen. There is zero benefit in this game being in VR. Also, I feel the £6.99 aksing price is about 50% too much so I would wait for a sale if it still interests you. It’s not a bad game at all, but it does get repetitive quickly, but only in the same way all puzzle games do.
