Cosmodread was one VR horror videogame VRFocus was looking forward to and it delivered. Some might not like the repetitious formula and it’s not visually stunning but that shouldn’t put most of you off. Cosmodread genuinely succeeds in what all horror games should do, making you afraid of the dark thanks to the absorbing atmosphere and gameplay. A definite must-have for those that love this genre.

Vanishing Grace comes across as one of those VR titles which seemed great in the demo, seeing a small snippet, yet on inspection of the entire experience, you wonder where the rest went. Even with its short runtime Monte Perdido Studio has showcased some wonderful talent like its ability to create a story-driven experience that you enjoy being a part of. However, its linear structure does mean that Vanishing Grace is a one and done VR title, lacking Myst’s or even Mare’s ability to make you step back in.

Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son is a lovable VR adventure that doesn’t do any disservice to the original material on which it’s based. There’s quite a bit to do if you look close enough as the title is all about paying attention to your surroundings. As such there can be quite a variance in gameplay time, expect around 6 hours on average, thanks to the different repetition elements – constantly repeating certain mini-games actually makes them easier. With a unique art style and engaging story, Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son offers an unexpectedly enjoyable adventure, and you don’t even need to have seen the film. That being said, it’s time to see if Groundhog Day is online somewhere.

All in all, Red Matter is a very high calibre VR experience, neatly weaving its story and puzzle elements together. It by no means perfect, following the line of other puzzles in VR that are seemingly unable to offer plenty of reasons to come back for more. So like a good meal take it slowly and savour the moment.
