Description: Mekside VR lets you and other players jointly shape a virtual reality and explore it. Using steampunk-inspired cubic building-parts of various materials, you can create landscapes, buildings or even mechanical designs in an open, physically simulated world.
Review: You might be thinking Mekside VR is little more than a cheap Minecraft clone (which it is) but that shouldn’t put you off wanting to play this. It works OK, especially in VR and it has a few things that Minecraft doesn’t. Some people will enjoy it and others will hate. I wasn’t in the “enjoy” camp, but I can understand that some people will as it isn’t especially terrible. But sadly £5.79 is terrible given that the online community for this game is as dead as it can be. This is a single-player experience only and with no single-player mode to speak of other than a sandbox creation this is one game that really shouldn’t cost any more than a quid, so do wait for a sale before getting it.
