*Note* Played on an Oculus Rift. Though my time played says .3 hours, it is actually closer to 1-1.5 hours at the time of this review. I've been launching the game through the Oculus launcher, which Steam hours doesn't count. On to the review...
It's basically Geoguessr, but in VR. If you aren't familiar with the concept, you are dropped on a random spot in the world in Google Streetview and you need to figure out where you are as close to your start point as you can, by moving around and looking at the terrain, signs, buildings, etc. anything that may give some clue where you are. The closer you guess, the more points you get. It's quite fun, and lets you explore various parts of the world in a very interesting way.
Where this game differs, however, seems to be in the types of locations you get put in. Where Geoguessr will put you in nearly any random spot, Go Guess seems to only put you in enclosed areas with limited movement range, and almost always from an on-foot location (rather than from a cars perspective in a street.) This means that this is actually harder than Geoguessr, because you are far more limited in what hints you can find. At one point I was outside a church, walking around its lawn and I had to get clues from what I could see out on the street. Another scene had me inside and outside a yurt, surrounded by snow and animals, and I had to make an educated guess. In yet another scene, I was inside of a mall, and I had to figure out where I was based on a web address on a sign.
On the other hand, the game can be pretty generous with how close you need to be. In one scene I figured out what city in New Zealand I was in, and just setting the cursor on the city was enough to get me full points, without needing to zoom in to the max to find the precise spot.
There are some minor issues, however. For one, it's Oculus Rift only for now. But a message from the dev on Reddit suggested they are working on the Vive version. I also could find no way to customize my avatar or choose my name. Changing my avatar is no big deal since I don't play multiplayer, but it'd be nice if I could change my name. For some reason the game chose a name for me, and I don't really care for seeing "OralHeir" everytime I see my score. Another minor annoyance is there not being a rotate button. This would be a very fun game to just pull up a chair and sit down while exploring the world, but it would be far better if you could press a button on the controller to rotate.
All in all it's a pretty fun game, and better yet, it's free! If you have a Rift, I definitely recommend giving it a try. If you have a Vive, maybe follow the game or wishlist it for when it gets Vive support.
