    Light Tracer takes an interesting approach to VR platforming and environmental puzzles, even if they are generally easy to overcome. However, it would have benefitted from removing the boss battles and the design of the princess’ outfit is questionable. There’s plenty of ways the path finding controls of Light Tracer can be used for future, better titles, but Light Tracer itself definitely needed a lot more time to feel complete.

    I typically don't like puzzle games but VR changes that, and this is a solid puzzle action platformer in VR.
    You direct by aiming and pointing where you want the character go and have surprisingly good control despite this strange way of control. Each level has a boss that is unique, difficult, and fun to battle. (albeit a bit upsetting until you beat it)

    Each level adds next elements to the puzzles that you have to use to deal with the obstacles that are in front of you, checkpoints are generous and you are right back into the action almost right away. The game is multiple hours to play through and seems like a pretty easy to achieve platinum that just involves doing a few things that don't seem too difficult, beating the game, and then collecting enough coins to get the 4-5 costumes you can put on the girl.

    The Greek song that is the soundtrack of this game is 100% as catchy as can be, if I was a bigger dork I'd say something like "toe tapping". (I am a dork, just not big enough to say that)

    Overall it's a solid and interesting game that if you have a VR headset, you should absolutely have in your collection to play, it's also just a very charming game.
