    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.

    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 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

    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.
