A VR Thrill Ride. I had a blast playing this VR game! It was challenging, immersive, and thrilling. The graphics were sharp, the puzzles were clever, and the story was captivating. I felt like I was really in a spaceship, trying to escape from a deadly situation. The game kept me on the edge of my seat, as I had to use my wits and skills to solve the mysteries and avoid the dangers. The game was not too easy or too hard, but just the right level of difficulty.
Could have been better. This was looking to be a great game ... BUT with its rubbish control system it fails greatly ... No free movement, free turning, crouch, its lazy tutorial, keeps this otherwise great puzzle game off my wishlist Link to my Review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEwc5bz_6iQ
Beautiful Art, Challenging Puzzles! I loved this game and want more! The puzzles are challenging and a couple had me stumped but if you keep at it you’ll figure them out. This is the first part of a series. Not sure how many chapters there will be but in less than a year we should be able to play the next installment and i’ll be ready and waiting for it! If you like puzzle games you need to buy this as it’s not too expensive and what they did with such a small team is amazing and deserves support!
Really active on discord too so I recommend joining and giving feedback if you have some.
Fun with a little "egg" hunting. Depending on your ability on escape rooms, this one can be fairly quick or you might find yourself staring at the same puzzle for hours on end. Sometimes when you realize what you were missing the whole time, you just want to smack your head. If you are up for a bit of a challenge, then avoid any possible spoilers at all costs, cause nothing changes between playthroughs. Meaning once you found the solution, you can try and speed run it next time blindfolded. There are some variations between each of the puzzles, so it's not like you solve one and you solve them all. But, some parts just remind me of an Easter egg hunt.
From having played test versions and the current live version, they have been pretty receptive to feedback. However, there are still some things that could be improved and hopefully will be in future updates. Currently there are no settings for playing seated/standing. So, some puzzles might be hard to work on if you are seated. The main grab function is on the right hand only and you have no pockets. So, grabbing multiple objects can be a challenge as some reset back to their original spot if left alone too long. You can only teleport to specific spots and snap rotate. Sometimes when teleporting between spots, you are recentered and have to physically move to get in reach of the puzzle. The way items snap to the hand can be a little finicky at times. Make sure if you are going to take a break, you do it after you hear/see the announcement that a checkpoint has been saved, as some steps in between will be reset to the previous checkpoint.
This is a fun one to drop friends into as there is no immediate “danger”, nothing to scare them, just simple escape room puzzle solving and the controls are easy enough for anyone to pick up. If they are stubborn and don’t want hints, they might have to come back for a future play session.
Challenging and Immersive! If you enjoy escape rooms or puzzles, this one is a MUST HAVE, especially for the price! The puzzles are creatively challenging, but not completely impossible. The game is pretty immersive even with restricted location teleporting, which I enjoy. I also really like that a pop up happens when it saves your progress so you know where you will have to start again if you quit.
The game is short but I'm looking forward to the release of more content. Also, when you finish it, check the credits for my name! 😁
Addictive, hard to walk away. I have had the pleasure of testing this game and I cannot wait for more content. Some of the gestures in having to grasp or rotate objects can be finicky, but the principles and challenges of the game are unique in comparison to other solve-it puzzlers and escape-rooms I have experienced. The quality of the graphics is also a big plus for me. I was able to play the game fully seated with having to stand only 2 or 3 times when I needed to reach for an object. Nothing I experienced deterred me from wanting to come back and finish this game.
I do wish we had free range motion instead of teleporting, but the teleporting was an aid because it restricted you to the important parts of the room. Essentially, the teleport landing spots kept you focused and moving forward. I don't want to spoil too much, but the clues around the room were challenging in themselves... so I felt engaged every step of the way. I cannot wait for the next chapter. Even just learning how to travel between the rooms was such an exhilarating find. I've never seen another escape-room game do that. Being vague so I avoid spoilers.
"AVO Escape Space" Review by ArnookieVR,. "AVO Escape Space" Review by ArnookieVR,
I recently had the chance to play AVO Escape Space, a virtual reality escape room game that takes place in outer space. AVO Escape space is designed in collaboration with real-life escape-the-room games and is created by the studio "Game Cooks". You play as PatientZ, the last surviving passenger aboard the spaceship, and you must solve intricate and mind-bending puzzles to escape the vessel and secure your freedom. The game is described as “dystopian” and may take more than four hours+ to complete.
The game’s story is set in a dystopian future where you are the only survivor of a spaceship that has been hit by a meteor storm. You play as PatientZ, who must solve puzzles to escape the doomed vessel. The game’s puzzles are designed to be challenging and require you to think outside the box. You will need to use your wits and problem-solving skills to progress through the game.
The game’s graphics are stunning, and the VR experience is immersive. The game’s sound effects and music add to the overall atmosphere of the game. The game is set to release on October 17th, 2023 on the Meta Quest platform via App Lab and will be available to purchase by the time this review is posted!
If you’re a fan of escape room games and enjoy solving puzzles, this game might be worth checking out. With its immersive graphics, challenging puzzles, and engaging storyline, AVO Escape Space is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
My only gripe is with the teleportation movement I hope the developer adds free range movement in the future. Adding this feature would make the game fully playable whilst seated.
You really feel a sense of achievement when you finish the game In a way that's hard to explain.
I hope you find this review Useful. ☺️ If you did consider joining my Facebook group just replace the words dot with a full stop! wwwDotfacebookDotcom/groups/QuestCentral/?ref=share_group_link
Great escape room game. I love escape room games and this one lives up to it. There are minor kinks with grabbing items but eventually you can get it. I do wish you could walk freely instead of teleport. I would consider it on the harder side but not so difficult that you couldn't complete it in 1 sitting. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I mean, what a game !! Absolutely stunning, I finally completed the game and and if you have not played yet, you’re in for a great! Lovely environment and some of the best thought out puzzles you will see in an escape room game!
You will need your wits about you! These puzzles are going to test your capabilities, it’s so immersive you will be hooked for hours!
I’d grab this game now while it’s only £5.99 as it’s only going to go up once all the new rooms get added! That’s right new rooms. I can’t wait! I don’t want to spoil too much of this game, but all I’m saying is get it! You won’t be disappointed I recommend this game 100 percent to all puzzler fans 🤩
Well done to the developers! Amazing work, look forwards to the upcoming new content 🙌🔥
