Locked in VR isn't awful, but as much as I love escape games it's hard to really give it a glowing recommendation. The better escape games are full of things for you to move around and explore, but the enviroment in this game is mostly plastic, with a majority of the objects in the room being a part of the scenery that can't be touched. It makes it difficult to tell what you're actually supposed to grab, and what's just clutter that you shouldn't bother trying to reach. It's interesting that this game actually gives you a time limit of one hour like real escape rooms, but the time limit just ends up being frustrating for the wrong reasons because some of the puzzles are so poorly implemented that you'll end up spending way too long trying to get them to work and run out of time and have to start over.
The flashlight in the game operates on batteries for some strange reason, and there are a limited amount of extra batteries in the room, but the flashlight doesn't tell you that and the batteries don't look anything like batteries so there's a high chance that you'll end up just stumbling in the dark half of the room trying to use your crowbar on the extremely finnicky and poorly implemented board puzzle that isn't even very easy to do when you can see it because of the weird delay between your hands' movement and the in-game hands. Since you have to hold the flashlight a significant amount of the time, but you can't teleport if both of your hands are full, you end up having to pick things up and toss them a few feet over and over until you reach the other side of the room you're trying to get to, hoping that the item doesn't get stuck somewhere along the way. And finally, one of the puzzles just doesn't seem to work at the moment, so I still haven't completely finished the game. The voice acting is also somewhat poor, and as much as I feel bad for faulting someone for their accent I really couldn't tell what the character was saying about half the time between the accent and the low volume, so I have no idea if he was giving hints or just commenting about the weather. Locked in VR has a pretty decent atmosphere, but there are just too many problems with it for me to actively recommend it. I'd only try it out if you've played the other better titles available.
