Reflection

Games like Reflection are why I check out the Oculus Rift Reviews Steam curator, because I'd have never found this really nice game without it. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32244664-Oculus-Rift-Reviews/ It's a puzzle room game but instead of the sterile "test chamber" theme I've become sick of seeing, this is a beautiful Oriental aesthetic with simplified graphics that will run smooth like butter on any system. They don't waste time rendering stuff and nonsense like shadows. Distant backgrounds look like matte paintings, which for some reason is a visual effects technique I still have a ton of nostalgia for. Speaking of visual effects, one of the effects that has been very tough for even the biggest-budget AAA games to even attempt is.... reflections in mirrors! Ever puzzle room game needs its 'gimmick' and these devs made mirrors the main mechanic. Near the end of the game they reveal that the "mirror" effect isn't actually reflections, when they reapply the underlyin...

Very enjoyable game. I got about 6 hours of playtime over the 22 levels. Though, I tend to take my time and enjoy the surroundings. I suppose it could be done in half the time. It's a joy just to be able to experience the beautiful locations, mountains and architecture. I really liked the puzzles. I only got stumped about 3 times else it was pretty straightforward but still fun to work out the solutions. The game uses mechanics such as mirrors to manipulate mirrored versions of the environment, gravity, differing timelines, and clones of yourself. At times you will use a bow and arrow and a fishing pole to break stuff or collect things. It's teleport and snap turning only, but I don't miss free movement here. It works fine. Shorter people might have a bit of difficulty. I play seated and found a few things just a bit too far out of reach maybe 10% of the time. But you can just get up and reach over to what you need or use the controller stick to "wiggle" your character over. There's ...

A beautiful experience. The environment and music combine to make a wonderful VR world. I'm not big on the teleport movement but in this case it wasn't too terrible. Most puzzles are not too difficult. I was only stumped a few times. I did need to seek out help on the final level but that was due to an incorrect assumption on my part. I did purchase it on sale. I got about 5.5 hours of play time but I like to look around at the art style. I played on my Quest 2 headset with both Air Link and Virtual Desktop without any issues.

Beautiful and so Peaceful. Played with the Vive Pro 2 and it is wonderful. The Puzzles are fun and I love the boat rides. Be sure to look all around and explore. Thank you for this fantastic adventure.

great hidden gem for vr puzzle adventure lovers. if a developer reads this - are there any more hidden puzzles once you get access to all areas after the credits?

Minimalistic VR puzzle with some cool space and time manipulation mechanics. It's quite short with only 20+ levels, but some of the puzzles are surprisingly challenging and might take a lot of time to solve. There is no difficulty curve: every chapter explores different mechanics without raising the complexity. Graphics is very basic and looks like it was ported from Quest without any upgrades, but it still ok to look at thanks to minimalistic visual style. Works on Reverb G2
