Max Mustard

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/JgTwDwruqx4 This is one of the best platformers for VR. The gameplay is what makes it stand out. It's fun, challenging, & varied. Although it is a family-friendly game, don't let that fool you, it's got some depth to the gameplay with new challenges being introduced and expanded upon. The checkpoints are mostly generous so while certain platforming sections can be very challenging, it still remains very forgiving. The game has 40 levels. It took me about 6.5 hours to beat the game. The levels had different challenges, even differing types of gameplay at times, with different world-themes as well. Most of the game is 3rd person classic action platforming, but there are first person and a mix of them thrown in. There are some mini-game levels as well, where you will be either collecting as many coins as possible in timed sections or doing a timed shooting gallery. Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting mostly a smooth 90 fps. However, on some levels, on some sections, I did notice some stutters. I did run into one game-breaking bug (that I was able to get around by beating the level without falling), but otherwise the game was very polished (I hope the bug gets fixed soon). You do have snap turning available and the game is meant to be played comfortably seated. [b]Rate 7.5/10. Knocked down the score a little due to some technical issues, but otherwise a great game.[/b] [quote]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.

I just finished the first arc. I think there are 4, so I might be 25% through?! Up to here: I had lots of fun, very cute, cool visuals and cool ideas to make every other level interesting and special. Nice that collecting coins mean something and you can use them to upgrade your abilities in the game's shop. Also incredible ideas to use the VR environment and include the player as an even more active part instead just be there to steer Max, so you are a team. Save points are fair, also I really like the save states if you die during a "boss fight", so you do not have to do EVERYTHING again all over. Until now the difficulty level is pretty fair. Just one remark from streamer's perspective: The FOV of the game capture window is too small, so that you cannot really see Max all the time, while playing. So I decided to stream directly in First Person from my headset view, though I really do not like it this way, because you can see all the overlays like chat and stuff and that breaks a bit the immersion for the viewers. Here I would have wished for an even wider view (especially on the y-axis), also a centered view (it is right-eye focused) and maybe a stabilizing option to make it a better experience for viewers of streamers and content creators. All in all: I love the game, bought it full price and do not regret it, worth the price for the fun you will get. Looking forward to continue!

shoutouts to all my mustard maxxers

Well done VR platformer that borrows heavily from games like Astrobot and Sackboy. It has reasonably tight controls, some fun levels and is moderately challenging at times. The bad: annoyingly cutesy visual style, restricted camera control, some of the music and sound effects are reminiscent of the worst free mobile game ads, some even worse. I can't be arsed to collect everything and towards the end it feels like a bit of a chore. Lots of potential, but please ditch the ''my little pony'' aesthetic.

I only played the first two levels yet but find it essential to write this review for people hesitating to buy this game. DON'T! It's exceptionally charming, tight platforming and satisfying varying power-ups/abilities. As an avid Super Mario fan I can confirm that this seems to be a damn good platforming VR-game. Will update this review when I finish the game. ---Update after finishing the game--- I did enjoy and I do recommend the game for any VR-gamer longing for a good platformer in VR. With that said I was a bit disappointed with the power-ups and map design diversity. The game throws almost all the power ups at you early on in the game, thus there were no more new gameplay elements in the majority of the game, although the variation was good from level to level basis. Map design wise there are some truly great levels and some that are'nt that exciting. The boss fights are great and the highlight of each act. Tl;dr: solid and fun VR platformer.

Add russian language pls, the game is cool

Yes, this is pretty much an Astro Bot: Rescue Mission clone. But damn is it a good one, and given Sony has no interest in doing anything with Astro Bot in VR anymore (or anything in VR, period), this is the closest successor we'll get. 40 incredibly well crafted levels that get quite challenging at times and are varied with enough gimmicks to keep things fresh. Visuals on PC are excellent, and throughout the 8 hours I spent beating this 100%, I only encountered a single bug (got stuck at a checkpoint upon respawning, but a recent patch looks to have fixed this). My only real complaint is that the "navigator" concept that AB:RM had (where you were a robot following AB that you could see) isn't really well integrated here. You are addressed a few times and you do get a few handgun upgrades to use to help Max progress through levels, but they're relatively simple and you sometimes go through several levels without using any. It would've been nice to be able to see whatever you're controlling, but it isn't really a big deal. Additionally, getting gold in many of the shooting gallery levels can be quite hard! I struggled with this over anything else in the game, as getting gold means zero room for error since the required times are ridiculously tight. So there wasn't really much I could do beyond replay them over and over until I memorized where targets appeared next. But those are small things and overall I just couldn't put this game down and had to force myself to stop to make iŧ last longer. Without a doubt one of the best platformers in VR. Highly recommended!

Runs smooth and has decent graphics, which is already more than I can say about a lot of VR titles. You can jump in and start playing without fussing around with controls. Well polished, if it wasn't on VR you'd think it was released for a Nintendo console. This is most comparable to something like Mario 3D world. The design/characters are a little infantile, which is a strange choice because VR headsets aren't suitable for children under 13 to use.

Excellent platform game with lush visuals. Great fun indeed. So glad I got this version over the Quest one. Definitely need more of these quality platformer's. Recommended!
