theBlu (re-launch)

Very impressive passive experience series about habitants of the oceans, released 6 years ago on PC VR platforms as paid app, a bit reworked and re-arranged as free-to-play product with separate DLC's

Strong sides:

  • Really pure visual look
  • Totally different scenes
  • Passive gameplay - great for introducing VR
  • Very impressive
  • Brand new episode as paid DLC

Weak sides:

  • Overall price increased
  • Deterioration of main menu compared to the original version
  • Quite short scenes
  • Free version includes only single short scene

Summary and conclusion:

A nice try to relaunch one of the classic apps (with some cons), nice to introduce users that never used VR before. A good possibility to the audience who never owned the original app to obtain it for free.

THRASER

A techno-trip gesture-like audiovisual experience, successor of legendary Thumper rhythm game with totally different mechanics and visuals

Riven VR

Nicely made remake of famous adventure game from 1990's with focus on puzzle solving, mystery and rich story line.
