    PROS: Brilliant hand gadgets ideas + Good puzzles + Nice environments + Well worked
    CONS: Story too bizarre for me + Sometimes you don't know where to go + Lagging problems when walking left-right

    One of the best adventure VR titles I've played, Hearth of the Emberstone improves literally every aspect of the original Call of the Starseed, especially amount of actual gameplay.
    If I have to nitpick some flaws, it would be those: there are still barely any item interactions, puzzles mostly require precision and speed rather than logics and reading diaries in VR is a bit awkward,    One of the best adventure VR titles I've played, Hearth of the Emberstone improves literally every aspect of the original Call of the Starseed, especially amount of actual gameplay.

    I'm very excited to check out next episode of the Gallery when it comes out.    … Expand

    The Gallery: Episode 2 – Heart of the Emberstone isn’t massively long – a run through should take around 5 hours or so – but it’s big enough to offer a satisfying experience, especially if you play episode one for a refresh. Cloudhead Games has done exactly what it needed to, create a compelling sequel that expands and improves the series.

    The Gallery: Heart of the Emberstone proudly carries the torch from the first chapter in The Gallery series. It offers an experience that feels totally unique in the gaming world. It does a fantastic job of breaking away from the stigma of short, proof-of-concept VR titles to deliver a quality narrative experience that’s a must-have for any fan of the genre.

    The Gallery’s second episode isn’t a great deal bigger than the first, but it’s a heck of a lot richer. You won’t visit many more locations or even spend dramatically longer with it, but the entire package feels grander and more considered. Though it’s still very much one installment in something much bigger, it’s evolved to meet our heightened expectations of the second year of VR content, and yet again left us begging for more. This is one adventure you won’t regret going on.
