This is a really cool concept that can only be done in VR. Now this is a sequel to a game that mimicked the NES days, in this game you move to the 16-bit era. You are a video game character that needs to use a kid in the real world to save the game world. You then control this kid in a classic 90s house, you have a SNES, you pick up a controller in VR and play fake 16-bit games on a TV. While you play your mom or neighbor will start to mess with you, the mom will want you to stop playing so much so you must distract her with a nerf gun while you play. Other levels happen at night where you need to drop the controller and pick up a tv remote to mute it if you made a loud noise in the game before your mom hears it.
The 16-bit made up games are pretty cool, they are levels in different classic games like Zelda, Sonic, Castlevania, alien, streets of rage; they are unique, keep you on your toes and some have genius mechanics. My favorite was a level in a game store where you have two game displays, a fake sonic and a fake alien game and you need to switch between the two and use items from one game to glitch and break the other one, such a cool interesting mechanic. At the end of each level is a boss fight that breaks through the TV and into the kids world, it’s so cool to see a 16-bit boss fight in full 3D while you have to not just control the heroine character but use your nerf gun to fight the boss at the same time, again stuff only VR can do.
It’s a bit short at like 4 hours so it left me wanting more. A few levels go on a little too long and none of them are classic levels, it’s pretty basic. It’s the ideas of mixing with the boys world where it shines. Try this if you have VR and love gaming in the 90s.
Overall Score: 6.7
