    Despite being a relatively compact experience, OddBug Studio has created a tightly knit series of challenges invested in an eye-catching world topped-off with a VR implementation that will undoubtedly be copied by many other titles before the year is out. It’s hard to fault the team for what content is there, as in those few hours of gameplay it’s likely that you’ll find The Lost Bear to be one of the most compelling PlayStation VR videogames to date.

    A mechanically modest platform puzzler, The Lost Bear neatly leverages the power of PSVR to fashion a wholly charming adventure that lingers long beyond its slim duration.

It's competent for what it is and it's probably for somebody but not for me. It is a far cry from being as interesting as Limbo or Inside even with the VR aspect. I would buy those games again if they were made in VR if the developers happen to read this...… Full Review »

Every loading screen I've had (and I've had a lot of them, due to the game's "puzzle" design) my whole angle of view were rotating anti-clockwise by 2-4 degrees. I've ended my play through having to turn my head by 90 degrees and controller being all over the place. And since whole PS UI worked as intended, this problem sure is an in-game bug.

    Puzzles were so secondary and light-weight, it makes me wonder how it's even possible to screw them so badly. From idea to animations, to mechanics, to puzzles, to UI — this game feels so sloppy, it makes me wonder if it was just a result of a one-week hackatone, which no-one ever bothered to polish. Good thing it is short.    … Full Review »

It's a cute, quaint 2D platformer that makes an excellent, clever use of the depth of field offered by VR. While on the short side, it's worth the trip.… Full Review »
