    Wanderer combines delightful world design with insidious environmental puzzles, to create a top-notch VR experience that should not be missed. With incredible visuals, a mountain of surprises, and a fun AI buddy to tag along on your adventures, Wanderer is a delightful brain teaser of a game.

    Wanderer is the right game to show what VR can really do, with some amazing ideas being pulled off here in smart ways that keep the player engaged throughout the entire experience .

    Despite a certain imbalance where basic textures and other simplistic models rub shoulders with polished graphics, such as realistic VR manipulations limited to objects that have a use, Wanderer is overall a high quality title. Thanks to its concept of intertemporal puzzles, it makes us efficiently cross time periods and rack our brains to come to the end of what looks like a huge escape game. However, you'd better hang on to some of the more difficult puzzles. Wanderer will offer you an enjoyable adventure in which you will enjoy playing with time.

    Wanderer is an ambitious project and for the most part, M-Theory and OddBoy have succeeded. The single-player adventure will keep you busy for 10+ hours and you’ll want to see it through to the end. Pushing the settings to max on PC will give you a glorious game to look at, and the audio is rock solid. Yes, there are one or two unwieldy issues along the way yet they didn’t hamper the overall entertainment Wanderer provides. If you’re looking for a puzzle game to really get stuck into then definitely take a look at Wanderer.

    Wanderer mostly delivers on its promise to immerse players in a sci-fi adventure that has you trekking across time, replete with fun and interesting set pieces that offer up plenty of objects to collect and use as you move forward (and backwards). Voice acting and its script are all on point, however clunky object interaction hampers the entire experience since you're constantly searching and manipulating items. That's more of a casual warning on what to expect than a solid reason not to play though.

    While it has a few design decisions holding it back, the time-traveling joys of Wanderer promise a bright future for adventure games within the VR space.

    A beautiful mix of action, adventure, puzzles and narrative, Wanderer is up there with the best. With 8-10 hours of content, it’s on my top 10 list!

    Highly recommended game with some minor problems (it doesn't have the quality of Half Life Alyx but it's good enough).

    PROS: Wonderful    Highly recommended game with some minor problems (it doesn't have the quality of Half Life Alyx but it's good enough).

    PROS: Wonderful ambientation + Lots of puzzles + Watch-friend is a great idea + Traveling through time is a great experience + Many ages to visit + Long game + Hands don't go throught walls or things and good interactions with objects

    CONS: Sometimes problems grabbing things + Don't detect index finger (it appear itself when is necessary) + No walksteps sound + A bit of stuttering

    6,5/10 - Niezła
    (po graniu 12h i ukończeniu gry)

    Ładna gra logiczna (choć spodziewałem się ładniejszej), z dosyć przyjemną fabułą i bardzo zróżnicowanymi lokacjami.

    Zagadki na każdym kroku, nie wszystkie przypadły mi do gustu.
    Bywają nielogiczne i czasem pomoc systemu podpowiedzi nie wystarczy, mimo że jest naprawdę fajny i fabularnie wytłumaczony - naciskamy przycisk na nadgarstku, zegarek zaczyna latać i do nas mówi... ale to naprawdę ma sens.
    Wtedy, zamiast używać wszystkiego na wszystkim, lepiej zerknąć na YT.

    Ogólnie dobrze się bawiłem, zwłaszcza pod koniec.
    Niektóre minigry naprawdę fajne, tak jak i strzelanie z broni palnej, ale celowanie z łuku to tragedia.    … Expand
