    Red Matter 2 is a Scrifi-Adventure, in which you are walking around different locations and solve puzzles. That's it. It*s a walking simulator in VR. Such games were nice in the first years of VR. But in the year 2023 it's only boring, because it's the same of the very much same. The graphics may be outstanding for the limited Quest 2. But for PCVR it's nothing special and the gameplay isRed Matter 2 is a Scrifi-Adventure, in which you are walking around different locations and solve puzzles. That's it.

For PCVR Half-Life Alyx or Vertigo 2 are much better, which I highly suggest: puzzling, interaction AND action (shooting)! Expand

    Red Matter 2 brings best-in-class graphics and interactions to Quest 2, a welcomed entry amidst a largely arcade-focused library—and stands as a solid PC VR title in its own right. Mostly good puzzling gameplay is mixed with a light helping of not-so-good combat, set against a backdrop of a 'radio play' plot that's not particularly engaging. With a stellar attention to graphical detail and direction, both large & small, and a richly interactive world, Red Matter 2 excels in the immersion department in a way that few VR games do. While effectively channeling titles like Lone Echo and Half-Life: Alyx, it doesn't quite reach that mark, but for a small team and a reasonable $30 price tag it's an impressive feat—especially considering the computational limitations of Quest 2.

    Overall, Red Matter 2 is a great sequel that builds on the strengths of the first entry and further improves upon the visuals and gameplay. It simply looks and runs phenomenal on the Quest 2, with mostly captivating puzzles and an interesting mystery to solve at its core. It's not perfect and still exhibits some bugs, and I probably could've done without the shooting sections, but that's a small price to pay when the rest come together as well as this. If you own a quest, this is a six-hour adventure you don't want to miss.
