HyperRogue

In VR this the most confusing and unpleasant experience I ever had, first of all, the menu by default is so close to your face that it hurts, the settings are so confusing you can't make head or tail of them, in the default VR game view the whole thing is moving with your head and is so close to your face you can't see the whole play field, of course you can change everything in the settings but good luck figuring them out! I wanted to go inside the hyperspace in VR but I got so frustrated after a half an hour I wanted to throw the headset at it... I'm sure there is a simpler way to handle all this and present a good VR experience but like this you have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. Unless you like deep diving in esoteric menus and setting options, pass this game...

Simple rules, fun to play in brief bouts. It does not let you save, however. So unless you want to marathon the very simple game you're unlikely to see what (I infer) are things that happen after you progress enough. Still, fun to drop in for 5-10 minutes of booping monsters on funny tile grids.

I've played the guided tour, done many runs and I still have no clue how any of the math behind this game works. It's sick asf though. Deceptively simple, but surprisingly difficult! You will not come across another game quite like this. Would recommend, even if it's just to support the devs.

Technically the largest 2D game I've ever played. For 3D, that would be fractal block world. First, which would be the biggest overall? Second, I wonder if those games' playerbases have a big crossover.

the weirdest puzzle roguelike ever. experience noneuclidean geometry directly and exploit it to solve combat puzzles as you explore

Great game! Unlocking all the worlds and achievements is very addicting. Sort of a bummer that you're stuck back in the same early worlds when you die, though. Each world is basically its own game that you can try to improve your high score on. But monsters and powerups can leak into adjacent worlds, with interesting results. I don't mind the simple graphics, but this concept with updated graphics would be super awesome.

Yes this is an absolute banger of a roguelike. Yes you should play this absolute banger of a roguelike. Already a classic.

Fractal Block World for cube haters

Amazing for nerds
