Apart from the cumbersome controls this is surprisingly better than the sequel. It isn't too long and has some cool puzzles, a daft story and a slightly creepy atmosphere. Pretty good stuff.
Meh
Had a few pretty satisfying puzzles and a compelling story and atmosphere to go along with it. Nothing mind blowing, but quite good for what it is.
Movement is a little sickening but the story and the experience in VR is so good

interesting puzzle game. Narrative better than the simple puzzles. Sometimes hard to tell where you’ve been since multiple devices and objects look exactly the same. Cool twist narrative about being one of the soviet scientists and your handler is the bad guy on the base. Puzzles a little too simple and repetitive. Satisfying to operate objects.

a good puzzle game but can be a bit annoying at times, the second game is a great improvement however play the first game beforehand to truly appreciate the changes made
To miało być Deliver Us the Moon w VR, ale nie było. Przeszedłem chyba prawie całą, ale straciłem zainteresowanie i nie chcę ciągnąć na siłę.
A short and easy puzzler, but pretty good. Looks amazing on the Quest - a good example of what you can do with a bit of clever planning and some trickery - I particularly liked the effect on your laser beam and some of the background effects like the privacy glass on some of the doors. Excellent atmosphere, and I really liked the way the investigation board in the pause menu updated based on the information you find in the word. Gets a bit too clever for its own good though, and doesn't quite stick the ending. The whole thing's undermined a bit by some terrible voice acting though to its credit I was second guessing whether it was meant to be rubbish.
Short but sweet, a fun puzzle game with a very intriguing atmosphere. It (thankfully) stops short of being outright "scary", while maintain a great "eerie" vibe throughout. A bit on the easy side, but it allowed me to focus more on the narrative. The graphics are pretty impressive compared to what I've seen so far on Quest 3. Overall better than expected.
Very good puzzle game but short, it took me about an hour to complete it and additional 20-25 minutes to get the platinum by going through the collectibles I missed.
Visually, the game is amazing, it felt like I was in that world, very emerging.
Story was good. Puzzles weren’t really hard to solve.

I enjoyed what little time I played in Red Matter. It's a puzzle game (so not really my thing), but it was quite interesting. I had to stop playing because I got motion sick around the part where there's a weird statue / modern art puzzle underground. Neat game, if you like puzzles you'd like this game.

A good VR game, actually one of the best entry-level titles for whoever just bought a VR headset. Short, with good graphics, nice story, good puzzles. Nothing fantastic, but still really nice.
This was the first time I'd played my Quest 2 in a while. It's a puzzle adventure game set in an alternative future where the Cold War seemingly never ended. You play as a voiceless secret agent sent to an abandoned moon base beyond Saturn in order to gather top secret enemy intel. Shortly after arriving, however, it transpires that not all is what it seems, and the moonbase might not be quite as empty as you were led to believe...
I had a good time with it over the course of a couple of hours this afternoon. The puzzles largely involve you using your translation scanner to interpret Russian instruction manuals, and then turn valves, flick switches and press buttons in the correct sequence in order to make progress. For the most part, the puzzles are intuitive and satisfying to complete. With no combat and only some very occasional horror elements, there's no real sense of threat to stress you out, so you're able to mull things over at your own pace.
The schlocky sci-fi story bubbling underneath it all is quite good fun, too, even if you can probably tell what's really going on, and while the voice acting is a bit hammy in places, I still found myself being whisked along for the ride. Like some other VR games I've played, it's a bit slight and never really challenges you; for the £14 I paid for it (and that was in a sale, I believe) I was maybe expecting something a bit more substantial, but what's here is fine. To be honest, after neglecting my Quest for so long, having space to stretch out a bit and play this in the living room was an enjoyable novelty. I should probably play it more often.
7/10
