    One of the most incredible gaming experiences I have ever had in 40 years of gaming. Abstract, artistic and truly moving...this game left me in awe.

    Wonderful experience. Surreal and magical from start to finish, it's an emotional roller coaster without saying a word.
    It's a little on the short side, but the sandbox mode is an amazing addition that can definitely extend it's length if you're into that.
    One of the most incredible experiences I've had on VR

    An original, facinating and enjoyable game thats pretty hard to describe. Even with the abstract art style, which looks great, watching the creatures interact in their own eco-system feels authentic, and while the game gives you no clear instruction on what to do, its masterfully designed to lead you in the right direction. It's kind of like being a VR David Attenborough while problemAn original, facinating and enjoyable game thats pretty hard to describe.

    Когда я запускал игру, я не ждал ничего. и вдруг ко мне приходит бумажное животное, а потом ещё одно бумажное животное и пытается у меня стырить мой магнитофон, а потом возвращается первое животное и даёт мне эм... камень телепортации.... эмм..... а потом я нахожу метеорит, который ложу в воду и случайно выжигаю всё маленькое озеро где пили бумажные животные и они умирают.... и я в паниrе думаю их покормить растением, и случайно дотрагиваюсь до растения в пустыне, которое было пробкой в вашей ванне куда стекает весь песок и забивает всех животных и вас собой в чёрную дыру, а потом.....    … Expand

    I was not able to get past the 'Quasar computing' screen and into the game on PS4 psvr - seems from Reddit like other people are having the same problem and any requests for support - or even just to acknowledge it's an issue - get ignored by the developers. Now trying to get a refund from PS store. A shame as it looked like an interesting game.

    My time with Paper Beast left me in awe. While I cannot claim to fully understand what it is that I experienced while playing this game, I’m glad that I did experience it. I would encourage others to experience it as well.

    Captivating and uncanny, Paper Beast is a rare one: a distinctively weird game that'll stick with you long after your brain has filtered out the little hiccups and frustrations. [Issue#346, p.100]

    Éric Chahi created an experience as intriguing, as sleep-inducing. [06/2020, p.65]
