    I tried out Salary Man Escape yesterday. I can say it is a very challenging game and had to go over and over again to accomplish some episodes but I really love the idea and mechanics of the game. So I will definitely keep playing it. Btw coin collecting part is one of my favourites!

    first of all, i'm not a fan of VR game ( the PSVR devices I using now is from my girl friend), I bought this game mostly because of the nice price, 15.99USD with discount, also, the art design is cool as the simple design and color combination, appeals to me. The concept is good after i putting hands on it, no narrative, but the words designed on the bricks are interesting and make youfirst of all, i'm not a fan of VR game ( the PSVR devices I using now is from my girl friend), I bought this game mostly because of the nice price, 15.99USD with discount, also, the art design is cool as the simple design and color combination, appeals to me. The concept is good after i putting hands on it, no narrative, but the words designed on the bricks are interesting and make you reflect a little bit about your real salaryman life. so basically, this is a good puzzle game with good back ground music.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Edgy art style! Reminds me a lot of Tumble, which I really enjoyed. This looks fantastic! I love a good puzzler, it reminds me of Tumble, but has something that was missing from said game, a little bit of context.… Expand

    The game has a retrospective but also refreshing soundtrack. I’m picking up the game for the music mainly (I’m bad at puzzle games anyway). The early stages are easy but it gets pretty tough in later stages, which i feel frustrating but might be pleasing to some hardcore puzzle gamers.

    Good concept and it reminds me of lemming and tumble VR. Levels are challenging and the Enemies's part really surprised me.

    Salary Man Escape, like most things, has its ups and downs. No spoilers. The game is full of challenging puzzles and a unique, fun art style and soundtrack. If you enjoy puzzles and like the style, it is definitely worth picking up.

    The move controller tracking could use some work, so it may be more enjoyable to use the dual shock controller instead. And while everything is more fun immersed in a VR world, it would be nice to also be able to play some "VR games" without VR. In the case of Salary Man, this could easily be done and could potentially expand the market as well as give players the ability to choose when to put the headset on. The VR aspect of this game is really cosmetic only. It is nice to be surrounded by the world while playing but, the actual gameplay would not change with or without VR in my opinion.

    In conclusion, this is a worthwhile game for VR puzzle fans. A rating is always subjective and losing points is usually unexplained by the reviewer. In this case the 2 lost points are strictly for the move controller tracking.    … Expand

    Bought this game during the sale. Really loved the music, provides a kind of funky contrast to the entire feeling of the game. The levels started out very simple but got hard pretty fast. It would be cool if the devs did even more with the entire satire concept though, and integrate it more with the gameplay.

    Pomineme-li mírně nepříjemné ovládání, můžeme Salary Man Escape prohlásit za vcelku povedenou Puzzle hru, jejíž lokalizace na PS VR jí dodává na zajímavosti a unikátnosti. Při nějaké lákavé slevě se tak může jednat o dobrého kandidáta na pozici ve vaší knihovně. Český web GamePress, Jiří Morávek

    the puzzle is a lot of high difficulty and very hard to solve, so make sure you are okay of that

    If you're not put off by the game's stark minimalism and brainbusting puzzles, then Salary Man's unique charms may well be right up your alley but gamers looking for a puzzle game with a more casual appeal, and perhaps more of a sense of fun, might want to look elsewhere.

    Salary Man Escape VR is a quite original and engaging, flawed by some annoying control issues.

    With a unique presentation unlike anything I’ve seen before in gaming, Salary Man Escape creates its own singular vision of workplace hell. But with frustrating controls and a bordering-on-broken physics model, the stellar puzzle design is lost in a mire of irritation and exasperation. If I wanted to feel stressed, I would just go to work.
