killerstar's review of DeMagnete VR

The game is pretty average. Puzzles can be fun, but some of them are too finicky and the bugs don't help. There's a lot of clipping and getting stuck in geometry, and at one point I had a puzzle chamber bug out.

What I think elevates the game is the voice acting. The GlaDOS stand-in is a friendly bot who is given a delightful personality by Ashly Burch.

Wow, this game can be very buggy. I experienced a lot of collision issues and I solved a puzzle by clipping through walls.

I also encountered a couple of puzzles with structural issues. What I mean is that you could break the puzzle and leave it in a unsolvable state. In once case, it even left me stuck inside an area with no way out. Resetting the puzzle only returns the boxes to their default position and not the player, so I would've had to quit the game an come back. Instead I just quit.

I do want to finish it. I really enjoy the dialogue, mainly because the voice acting is great. I had to google and realise that Q is voiced by the same voice actor that voiced Chloe from Life is Strange and also a bunch of other games. She's really good an elevates a mediocre-to-bad game to a pretty enjoyable one.

Played the demo and enjoyed it. Similar mechanics to Relicta, but with much better voice acting (and less of it). Interestingly, I don't know if it's a bug or feature, but it seems to have extra puzzles hidden behind closed doors that you can reach by clipping through them. This might be an intentional use of the fact that in VR you can clip through walls by moving your body while your character is at the wall. If so, that's pretty ingenious, although not very accessible (it requires ample space to move around).
