    I wonder if this game was ever play-tested. 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.I wonder if this game was ever play-tested.

    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.    … Expand

    Do not expect hours and hours of gaming or a huge virtual immersion, but The Lost Bear is a very enjoyable puzzle-platform and VR is the classic icing on the cake.

    The Lost Bear isn’t necessarily what you’d call a killer app for PlayStation VR. It doesn’t have that same immediate impact games like Batman VR, Farpoint, or Arizona Sunshine demonstrate so well. Over time, however, that brand of first person virtual reality has become more and more familiar and I find myself looking for games that attempt to use the technology in new ways, which is what you get from The Lost Bear.

    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.
