Description: Protagon is a hybrid casual game designed from the ground up for the SteamVR experience. It blends concepts from mini-golf and pinball with an intuitive VR interface. Just pull the handle on the ball, aim and release to launch it into the zero-gravity course! Can you make it under par? Each “hole” or level introduces new twists, obstacles and game mechanics to keep you challenged. To complete your immersion in the unique world of Protagon, the game features hand-drawn background art by Iikka Keränen and awesome soundscapes created by Rich Carlson, both of the IGF award-winning Digital Eel development group, and original theme music by Sotiris Gougousis!
Review: Protagon VR is a puzzle game and a sports game mashed together. It is part snooker, part golf, in fact, it is a rather odd collection of genres, but that doesn’t stop the game being quite fun to play. While quite basic in terms of graphics I did find the game interesting to play…for a short time. With only 4 holes to play, you will see all this game has to offer in about 30 mins and for a game that costs £6.99 that is almost unforgivable. If you get this in a cheap bundle you will enjoy playing it, but paying any more than a quid for this will leave you feeling ripped off.
