Lucky Blocks Battlegrounds:
With so many VR games this is an essential for your library. Excellent production values and worth full price. It’s a platformer, so it plays like Mario. Hop on enemies to kill them, collect coins for bonus lives, avoid traps, reach checkpoints to replenish your hearts. The environments are beautiful, stylized, and varied. Levels start easy but get more difficult as you play. The music suits each environment perfectly. It’s not a long game, but there is replayability for completionists such as speed runs and finding collectibles. They recently added achievements if you are a player who needs achievements. If you love platformers, you cannot go wrong with this purchase. Good VR platformer game. At the time of writing, I haven’t played Moss or Trover yet, so I can’t compare it to another vr platformer yet, but it was pretty good. The level design looks great, and they’ve reused models from their New Super Lucky’s Tale title, which look very good. Unfortunately, they didn’t implement Lucky’s dig or slide mechanic from the aforementioned title, but that was expected, as this is a remake of Lucky’s first game. Depth perception was a little difficult to master, so I found myself repeatedly falling to my death when trying to jump from enemy to enemy at times. Now that Playful has mastered crafting a great 3D platformer and refined their VR development skills, I’m eager to see what Lucky has in store next.
