Light Tracer (VR & NON-VR)

Run&Jump Platformer with puzzle elements, in VR. Extremely cute graphics with what would be vibrant colors without the slightly overdone bloom, great soundtrack, infuriating to play at first due to the weird control scheme and a factor I'll explain in a bit, but once you get the hang of it (remember that the Vive touchpad can be super sensitive) it works well and is actually fun (albeit still rage-quit inducing at times). The one thing to keep in mind is that the princess is dumb as breadcrumb. She will walk in a straight line to the point you are pointing at, even if there is an abyss in front of her. This is really just as as it is in every other run and jump (when was the last time Mario jumped over a gap although you forgot to press 'A'? , but due to VR and the very nice modelling and animation work she looks semi-real and you kind of expect her to have some semblance of intelligence and autonomie ... which she really really doesn't have. Still... a very nice, child friendly ...

Hello, I must apologies for this is my first ever review. I have reached pretty far in the game, I will update my review on completion of the game. I barely got myself a Mixed Reality headset and was looking around the steam store when I came across this game before release and thought this would be a pretty neat game. Compared to all the other games on steam at the time and now I still think this game is one of the most well made on the steam market right now! So the game is a simple puzzle/platformer and as you progress thru the game the puzzles become more difficult and rewarding with very little to no hand holding/tutorials form the game. As you progress thru the game you will have little interactions with the little princess as she wishes to reach the top of the tower. Best way I could describe her is that she is a spunky princess thinking she can get up the tower all by herself. The game mechanics are crisp, clean and responsive. Be aware, for players that are ...

played in NON-VR-Mode: good riddle game + interesting physics + cute chibi + very cute chibi + soothing music + riddles can get pretty difficult + dark souls boss battles - english synchro not good (ajpanes ebounce sounds great) OOOFFF: riddles can get pretty nasty. but its fun nonetheless. Sometimes nonvr mode can be a bit confusing. 89/100 from me 13/10 awww Chibi <3

A better than expected platformer with some good music and interesting boss fights. The only negative is the save file. You can't move it and no cloud backups. =(

Kind of wish there was a more neutral option than just Yes/No. The biggest problem with this game is that there is a crash on Exit that will force you to remove your VR headset to dismiss the crash dialog when you want to stop playing. While this doesn't impact gameplay this is a huge inconvenience in general. (Used Vive, did not test Rift and don't know if the crash happens there or not.) Furthermore, this game is predominantly viewed from different angles by grabbing and rotating the map. If you have ever seen or played a game called Echochrome it's basically like that although without the perspective gimmick. This means, unfortunately in my opinion, that there is no real reason for this to be a VR title, BUT I do appreciate the developers' contributions to diversifying the genres and perspectives available for VR. The game seems fairly straight forward and simple, there is no real penalty for death as far as I can tell except you start at the last checkpoint which are frequent. I...
