Tumble VR

A thoroughly engrossing puzzle game. [Issue#180, p.47]

Simple, yet complex puzzles, combined with a GLaDOS-like taskmaster, have you laughing and constantly wanting more.

Tumble VR is easily one of the most comprehensive games among the PSVR's launch line-up, both in terms of longevity and mechanical depth. While not the kind of quintessential puzzle game that can stack up to this year's best (The Witness), Supermassive Games' virtual reality stack-a-thon stands tall on Sony's virtual reality machine.

Tumble VR builds on the successful formula found in the original PlayStation Move title, with virtual reality greatly adding to the experience.

This VR version of Tumble changes everything, thanks to the ability to see the depth, to a game world that surrounds the player completely, and the chance to turn literally around the structures.

Solid VR puzzler with nice immersion, some control issues and a steep learning curve.

Simple and safe, Tumble VR provides a nausea-free virtual reality block stacking puzzle experience suitable for gamers and non-gamers alike. Intuitive and reasonably challenging, it should keep you busy for a few hours. Just don’t expect a lot of variety.

Tumble VR is enjoyable and works well with a PlayStation Move controller. It's as good a way as any to kill some time.

Every level offers a new challenge from the last, and for that, Tumble VR never gets boring.

It is a pity that control sometimes is more of a headache than their own puzzles, because the game is varied, fun and cheap.

The same PS3 game but granted with new puzzles, game modes and the VR touch. A bit too simple but fun anyway.

Tumble VR builds on the surprisingly good game Tumble on the PS3. With 70 very diverse puzzles with increasing skill levels the game is far from dull. The VR adds an other dimension and will keep young and old busy for a while.

Not the most attention grabbing of the PSVR launch titles, but a competent puzzler, that offers a more mellow VR experience.

Despite the over-sensitivity of the motion controls, bringing the original, addictive puzzle game into a brand new virtual reality setting works extremely well. A solid and enjoyable puzzle game to kick off the genre on PlayStation VR.

The attempts to inject humour fall flat, and the presentation is still cold and clinical as a result, but this shortcoming isn't anywhere near large enough to rock the release's sturdy foundations.

Tumble is a good example of the tactile feedback a combination of motion controls and virtual reality can bring, and importantly, it’s something people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy, and understand.

A clever puzzle game that make great use of the VR effect. But the control scheme has something broken and its appeal is limited.

Tumble VR is still a great PlayStation Move puzzle-game in spite of the six years since it first got out on PS3. On the other hand, it's not the game we advise you to buy to showcase the potential of VR to your family.

The tower of blocks that is Tumble VR is built on very unstable puzzles. If you keep on building, you will definitely find some beautiful things, but you might have stopped playing before that happens.

I can appreciate that Supermassive has figured out the fundamentals with Tumble VR and come in at such a budget-friendly price, but I also can't deny the times when I grew bored of playing. Don't rush through this one.

Tumble VR improves upon the original Tumble with all manner of new puzzles and a cute versus mode. It’s also a game which makes total sense for playing within the PSVR. There’s something about placing blocks with your own “hands” that just feels better than other puzzlers. The caveat, of course, is if your controller also exhibits the weird shakiness in-game from time to time, which makes it totally annoying rather than an amusing experience.

Tumble still is quite enjoyable and guarantees zero motion sickness, but it could've evolved a little bit since its original release.

Tumble VR is let down by the frankly piss-poor tracking of both the DualShock 4 and the Move controllers, making the precise block placements the game sometimes demands tricky.

Tumble VR is a satisfying VR puzzle game. Despite technical issues, that does not affect the gameplay much, the game offers many puzzles and a welcome Vs Mode. Not sure you will want to play it again after completion though.
