    My love for penguins is well known at this point and that alone made Waddle Home really enjoyable for me. As a puzzle game, it presents an interesting look at what you could do with VR and demonstrates why 3D audio and the ability to interact with a world is important, however, it doesn’t really expand upon its simple mechanics in enough ways to stay interesting. What’s there is cool (it being in VR certainly ensured that I was smiling throughout the whole game), but I’d really like to see Waddle Home do a bit more with what it offers.

    Waddle Home is quite the amusing experience, though it beats us why this rather straightforward experience thinks it needs virtual reality to succeed.

    This is a game that might actually be better without VR. [Jan 2017, p.128]

    Waddle Home is a below par puzzle game at best, and the addition of VR fails to change that. The repetitive gameplay, simplicity of the puzzles, and the sheer lack of content shows that this game was rushed out for launch. P-p-p-p-pick up something better for your PlayStation VR headset.

I give it a 6 not for the game being bad, but because VR adds nothing to the experience. If you publish a game as being VR exclusive, it must use it in a way it adds something to it.… Expand

    This game is kinda cute and i love the robots voices. Its a simple puzzle game and not much else.
    The puzzles are not that amazing, and the    This game is kinda cute and i love the robots voices. Its a simple puzzle game and not much else.
    The puzzles are not that amazing, and the game did not need to be in VR at all, all you do is just look at the penguins walking around with nothing happening around you. Hand motion is always welcome and it made the game a bit more fun to play. even though the game takes a few hours to complete it does not offer a lot during those hours, i'd say pass this one. there are way better vr experiences for this price    … Expand
