    This game is awesome if you're looking for something really basic and fun. The voice acting, the dialog before and after you show up are just top notch. Don't expect a complex platform game, everything is pretty silly and easy, but fun. If you like Rick and Morty, you'll probably going to love it.

    The game is about 5 hours long, which is just barely enough to justify the $29.99 price.

    If you like "lol I'm so random" type humor then this game is for you. You would think the humor of Trover Saves the Universe would be similar to the humor of Rick and Morty, but it's not. It's just five hours of Roiland saying whatever random unstructured words came to his mind at that moment while    The game is about 5 hours long, which is just barely enough to justify the $29.99 price.

It's just five hours of Roiland saying whatever random unstructured words came to his mind at that moment while you progress through a mediocre and uncompelling story. I have no problem with curse words, but a constant stream of them doesn't count as meaningful humor. One upside is that the combat is fun and the various puzzle mechanics are interesting, but neither can save the game, as I found myself getting bored for most of the 5 hours.

    Worth playing if you're a die-hard Roiland fan but otherwise I can't recommend it.    … Expand

    It's a VR game you play with a controller. It's basically a neutered and dumbed down game. Also, I love Rick and Morty and Justin Roiland's humor, but MY GOD this game is just annoying and isn't all that funny. Just weird characters yelling made up nouns and cussing. Graphics kinda suck and gameplay is BASIC. The game is most like that Adventure Time VR game for the Samsung Gear VR,It's a VR game you play with a controller.

    Fun game, game accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Basically an interactive cartoon. The movement concept / accompanying lore is pretty trippy in VR. If you like the garbage constantly spewing forth from Roiland's mind, you'll like this.

    PROS: Wonderful music + Lot of humor + Crazy and funny story + Much fun to play + Chair mode gameplay is great and both upgrades (you & Trover) are cool
    CONS: not too varied gameplay

    It's mostly just Justin Roiland ranting at you for about four hours. Good thing he's a funny dude.

    Justin Roiland really knows how to entertain. The Game is super fun, with similar voice-acting as in Rick & Morty this masterpiece entertains for a short 5 hours of gameplay, but its still worth the experience! Fighting isnt really that great, but the unique voice-acting from Justin Roiland really hits the nail on the head. Voices are pretty much the same as in Rick & Morty whilst TroverJustin Roiland really knows how to entertain.

Voices are pretty much the same as in Rick & Morty whilst Trover has the voice of Morty and some enemies the one from Rick. Puzzles are fun and not too hard. The atmosphere is silly whilst also fascinatingly weird and the characters you will meet on your journey are overwhelmingly funny.

    A must-play for every Rick & Morty-Fan out there!

    I played this game in VR with an Oculus Quest 2 and an Oculus Link.
    It's a really good game (one of my favorites) with a wtf and a good story, even if the gameplay is classic. Trover and the other characters are always talking about something (always wtf) that adds a lot of life to the game and what they say is really fun.

    It's a game you play sitting down, I think that's a good thing because sometimes you just want to play VR and relax.

    I hope there is a sequel coming soon !    … Expand

    A genius blend of comedic and gameplay excellence, Trover Saves the Universe is arguably the best Oculus Quest title to date.

    While Trover Saves the Universe doesn’t have that same level of interaction a lot of other VR titles tend to feature as standard nowadays, its elevated from being a standard VR platformer to one with a unique atmosphere thanks to all the other elements. Trover Saves the Universe is the funniest experience you’ll have on Oculus Quest, plus there’s plenty of content thanks to the included free DLC. It’s a fun experience which should give most players a good 5+ hours of entertainment.

    Although gameplay for non-VR players feels like an afterthought, Trover Saves the Universe is an off-the-cuff experience with hilarious writing that ends far too soon.
