DeMagnete VR

It's... an okay game. The puzzles are fun though most are pretty simple. The graphics, while also simple are pretty. But the game has some serious bugs. At least for me on my Index, I was using continuous motion, and I could not turn right at all. Clicking my analog stick would do nothing, however I could turn left just fine. The game also needs a lot of work on collisions, as they'res a bunch of doors you can just walk through like it's not even there. Peaking your head through walls or objects, lets you see right through them as there's no fading to black or anything similar. In the end it's again, just an okay game, as another reviewer said, it feels more like a PSVR game than it does a PCVR game.

The magnetic puzzles are interesting but quickly become boring with the same uninspiring environment.

EDIT: ***I've just changed my rating from 6/10 to 8/10. I do like the little AI and Ashly Burch's voice, and the puzzles are great and fun, at least to some degree. I like the physics too - and the dynamic shadows. Textures are really poor, but I'm playing for the puzzles. So would be fair to rate this game 4/5, also for the kinda unique puzzles.***  Tried the game, first Index, then Rift CV1 just to be sure. My rig: i9 10900K, 32GB 3200 MHz, Asus Strix OC RTX 3090, Asus Z590 mainboard, Win 10 Pro. Latest drivers. The game supports native Oculus drivers - thus you get same performance as if you'be bought the Oculus Store version. There're few graphics settings (bloom on/off, antialiasing on/off, some lighting on/off), I activated them all. I set SteamVR to res 200% and then 144 Hz - and got reprojections. But 120 Hz res 200% worked fine. Not sure that the game is that greatly optimized - I get solid 144 fps using res 200%, 8xMSAA and all other settings maxed in Boneworks - so DeMag...

Played on the Rift S! In DeMagneteVR, you solve several puzzles using the power of magnetism and cubes. Difficulty wise the "tutorial levels" are easy to understand without any explanation (except controls). On more difficult levels, you'll have to think a little longer. There is no hint system, so it's time for some BIG BRAIN MOMENTS! You will have a lot of different ways to solve certain puzzles, which in my opinion, is the best feature of the game. A certain someone said to me: "There's no right way to solve a puzzle." The quote describes the solving mechanic perfectly. The story is good. It's enough to keep you motivated. Sadly, the main character named D doesn't have a voice. The only person talking is your robot, Q. I wished for more talking interaction between these two to build up a relationship. Some bugs I've found: I had problems getting out of the lava boat (switching to teleport will fix it) Some walls had no collision for the player. I got hard locked in the last ...

DeMagnete is a fine if terribly short puzzle game that was enjoyable but has a lot of flaws to it. The game is fun enough that I would have given it a thumbs up except for its price to content ratio. At its list price of $20, I wholeheartedly recommend AGAINST the game and, even at the $8 I paid for it, I'm a little iffy. So if you can find it on a really good discount, I'd say it's still certainly worth picking up. For its strong points: - It's got a nice, decently crafted world that is fun to be in. - Controls are customizable enough to satisfy everyone's needs. - World sound is perfectly fine, nothing to write home about but I didn’t find anything too out of balance (other than Q's teleport sound). - The puzzles are fun enough and I found myself well enough engaged to go back to it three times in a row when I had an hour or so to get back into VR. However it does, unfortunately, have quite a few issues for a mid-to-late 2021 VR game: - The length of the game is terribly short. T...

This is an enjoyable and kinetic puzzle game, you get to play with magnetic forces in a quite innovative way, and I enjoyed it a lot! 😮 A few more mechanics are introduced along the way, so do pay attention to what the cubes do! 👀 I didn't and I payed for it in confusion 🤣 The environments are... surprising, let's just say you'll be in for a treat, and it's definitely not what I expected from the trailers! The puzzles start out quite straight forward, but progressively gets more and more complex! Near the end it was pretty challenging indeed! 😅 I streamed it all, so I probably missed the story from talking over dialog, but I think I understood it in the end 🤣 It was a bit unclear for a while though. Otherwise, it ran really well, and the few quirky things I experienced they fixed, so good job devs! And there's a range of input/control options 😁 Gets a thumbs up from me!

DeMagnete is an interesting puzzler with an original game mechanic that was fun to use. Basically you have to figure out how to manoeuvre cubes around (like Portal companion cubes) in order to unlock a door to get to the next level. You have a floating orb companion that leads you through the levels and gives you some backstory, but does not provide any clues to solving the puzzles. The levels were unique and the puzzles never felt repetitive. The difficulty ramped up gradually as you progressed without being crazy hard or too easy. Some thinking outside the box was needed as well; not all solutions are straightforward. I liked the consistent art style, graphics, good sound effects and background music. It ran very smoothly on a Reverb G2 at 100% resolution on 2080Ti. Some (all?) levels have more than one puzzle area to complete and there is no save point between puzzles, only at the end of the level. This caused a bit of frustration for me at the two most difficult puzzles as I wou...

It's like a soft version of portal.

Fun, simple puzzle game with a splash of adventure. Nicely done. I enjoyed it.

It's definitely not the worst VR adventure out there, but bugged and boring puzzles spoil it. Most of them are just passable: they use the same mechanics in very similar way and do not require much thinking. First thing I noticed is that on many levels you can bring "cubes" through the door to use in the next puzzle, which in a good game(like Talos Principle for example) would be utilized as a hidden game mechanic, but here it's just an oversight. Then there are a lot of bugs that allow player to pass or squeeze an item through the wall, either accidentally solving the puzzle or completely lock further progress on it. In the last case you would need to reset the room, but in 90% of the cases doing that does not change players position in the room(which is clearly a bug and not a feature), breaking everything even further, forcing a restart for the whole level. And there is nothing more boring than repeating a puzzle, especially the one that was not much fun even the first time arou...
