A climate-conscious puzzle adventure that’s themed around music – what’s not to love? Well, a fair bit it turns out. The Oculus Quest 2 title’s first misstep was an intro screen that described it as a 'hands-first experience'. I’ve generally found the Quest 2’s hand-tracking to be not half-bad, but Eolia expected a bit too much from the budget hardware. Its hand motion controls weren’t always that distinct from one another, so it was really easy for the game to register the wrong gesture or not register anything at all – which as you can imagine was very frustrating.Īdditionally, Eolia isn’t the most comfortable game to play if you suffer from motion sickness. There’s no option to use teleportation movement, and the sections of the game where you ride on the back of a large beast are near-unbearable. I did manage to find some comfort controls in the game’s main menu by quitting out to it, but the settings didn’t go quite far enough to make Eolia’s movement enjoyable.Īdding insult to injury, I wasn't that impressed by Eolia’s puzzles, which lacked the creative spark I’ve found in VR games like I Expect You To Die 2.Įolia would have benefited a lot from a scaled-down scope. By reducing the size of the world and cutting down the number of different things players can do, the developers could have given what remained the TLC it needed, and made playing Eolia feel more worthwhile. Just as with last month’s recommendation, Moss Book 2, I’d suggest playing through Red Matter before playing the sequel. Sure, Red Matter 2 does a fine job of getting you up to speed on everything that's happened in the Cold War-inspired sci-fi story so far, but it’s by no means a replacement for the original game.

That said, if you do decide to drop into Red Matter 2 you’ll have an out-of-this-world experience, whether you’re a fan of the series or a complete newcomer.

Once again stepping into the shoes of Sasha Riss – or at least the body her consciousness is inhabiting – you’re sent on a planet-hopping mission after discovering a distress signal from a comrade who'd long been presumed dead.

On your adventure, you’ll have the opportunity to explore several environments, with your curiosity rewarded with story details or hints for how to solve the game’s next puzzle. Speaking of, which, there are some repetitions amongst the game’s puzzles, but generally the challenges are varied enough that you’ll be kept engaged.
