    Overall, Light Tracer is a well-crafted VR platform title. Once you get used to the controls, it becomes challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. There are some very frustrating elements, but not enough to spoil the gameplay entirely. Having said that, Light Tracer is at its best when played in relatively small doses. Like a plate of snacks to nibble on instead of a feast, but still just as tasty.

    Instead of copying the status quo, Light Tracer tries to give gamers something they haven’t already conquered before. The challenge behind this virtual reality experience is in figuring out how to control the character without retaining direct control over her movements. Learning to do two distinctly separate tasks in a single moment is the key to solving many of Light Tracer’s puzzles and moving forward.

    Light Tracer is cute and clever, challenging and frustrating, and ends up as a platformer that fully exploits VR’s ability to draw players into its cheerily devilish world. I’ve previously given Oasis Games a hard time for the mediocre quality of their releases, but I’ve got to give it to them – they’ve finally hit on a winner with Light Tracer. It’s as good as any platformer on the system, and once again proves that there aren’t many genres that won’t work perfectly well in VR.

    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.    … Full Review »
