    So Patrick did a review about how this game is just slightly puzzly... I don't think he went to the 2nd set of challenges, where you have to toss away a falling rock, while you stack stuff that can barely fit under the range of a bar that goes back and forth.

So as you are stacking cylanders on their sides, and planks that are twice as long as your building square, while also trying to put the heavier stuff where it has support, while a bar keeps going back and forth, and a rock keeps falling that you have to grab and toss away....

    It's really hard to explain what Tumble in VR is like. Basically to me it's a palette cleanser. It's something you might mess with before you get ready for bed, so you can forget about how much you hated your coworkers today. I wish that in order to do a review for a game you have to have beaten half of the game. I haven't gotten that far just yet, but to me, for the $10, it's something different.

    Also the robots are incredibly snarky. "Oh this one is easy, really it's just a formality, finish it and we'll move on" or "Humans I hear need extra motivation. Here is a medal for if you do a good job. Medals are fun! Yay!" (all done in a monotone robotic voice which makes you wanna punch the thing)

    I don't know what to tell you about this game to be honest. It's not a must have, the demo is really short, all the real game takes place after the demo... There is just something indescribably satisfying about tossing away things you don't want, grabbing the piece you do want, putting it in carefully, and then moving on. They even have a sarcastic line about a dramatic increase in the learning curve, as they have you stack blocks on a tilted base...

    I can only imagine what the higher levels are like. If anyone is complaining about the simplicity of the puzzles they probably haven't made it to the 3rd level of puzzles.1    … Expand

    Surprisingly addictive and satisfying. A lot of content for the lower price point. Would recommend to anyone and everyone, my favourite VR launch game by far.

    An unrecognized gem in the PSVR library. Engaging puzzles that leaves room for creativity and tight design.

    Do you like Jenga and games like these? then this is for you. I like it a lot, I play it a lot, it's very nice, just find the way to create the tallest tower, or add the highest quantity of blocks to the construction, or play with mirrors and lasers, solve puzzles, etc etc. Nothing new at all, but very fun when you play it in VR.

    I expected Tumble to be just about stacking blocks, but was surprised to find a few different modes such as measured explosions (try and blow a stack of blocks as far as possible with a limited number of bombs) and and laser light bounce off levels.

    Это головоломка у духе тетриса. А местный робот отдаёт Гледос из портал, но с целью построить самую высокую башню, как пример... и в самых необычных условиях и на время.

    This game is fun in fairly short bursts. Playing for more than an hour at a time will probably bore you, but it's always fun to come back to and continue on a few more levels. It's a pretty simple game so what is there looks good. Great textures to make you believe that the blocks are actually made of the material they claim to be made of.

Great textures to make you believe that the blocks are actually made of the material they claim to be made of. I haven't finished the game yet but so far the puzzles are all fairly straight forward. I'm still hoping for more of a challenge in coming zones, if there are indeed more zones after Zone 5. A solid little game to add to your VR collection.… Expand

    I know we're all excited for VR, and I'm trying to be as positive as I can be with Tumble VR. The tracking is fairly reliable, and some of the block stacking puzzles are a bit interesting, but ultimately, it's just a dull experience. You're stacking blocks in VR. This is the kind of thing that I could do in REALITY and really it would be the same general experience. Fairly dull.

If 5 out of 10 is an average game, this isn't even a 5, because it's barely a video game. It's a practice in monotony with a little bit of puzzle element.… Expand

    It's stacking blocks in virtual reality. It was one of the launch titles and it was ok as that but there are more interesting vr games now.

    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.
