Description: Craft Wonders Amongst the Clouds! Fantastic Contraption is a surreal building game for the PS VR. Come immerse yourself in a strange skybound archipelago and befriend Neko the photosynthesizing cat. Create intricate machines, then send them whirling, flinging, and trundling off to solve puzzles on the other side of a floating island.
Your task is simple: get the squishy purple ball to that goal off in the distance, or above you, or on the other side of that gap. Your tools are elegantly minimalist: spinning wheels and stretchable rods. But the solutions are endless, and there are no right or wrong ones. Every level is infinitely replayable – this is a VR experience you and your friends will play for hours.
Review: This is one of those games that simply won’t be possible without it being in VR. Not only is this a pretty great game to play, but it is also a great party game with people taking turns to build their own contraptions to get over the finish line. You just can’t help but smile at it even if you are just watching someone else play it. While the PS Move controllers are not the best for this due to their low tracking with a little bit of patience I managed to complete most the levels (mostly with a lot of luck and a tiny amount of actual planning).
