Description: The Harpa is the heart of the Ionian forest. With every tree felled by the approaching Tritone army, her spirit weakens. You and your sister Allegra are Ionia’s brave new heroes, embarking on a quest to heal this mythical creature with the power of music before it’s too late.

Review: ‘Rhythm of the Universe: Ionia’ is a cinematic style adventure game in which you will be exploring the alien jungle world, completing puzzles and generally trying not to compare this game to the Avatar movie. The good news is the game does look good most of the time and doesn’t really look any different to the Steam VR version! But the movement inside the game is a little restrictive. However, it is the story that will keep you going, the mystery of not knowing what you might see around the next corner and to be fair this game is as magical as they come.

The biggest issue here is that there is less than a single hours worth of gameplay. And it was not like I rushed through it at all. The good news is if you can grab it in a sale you will enjoy this game a lot more than I did. It is well worth a play that is for sure and I enjoyed what little time I had in the Ionia world. But that time was far too short to get value for money.
