Description: Eye of the Temple is a VR game that lets you explore a vast and treacherous temple using your own feet. Keep your balance as you step from one moving block to another, dodging traps and solving puzzles with your torch and whip in hand. As you explore the Temple complex and its past, you might just uncover the mystery of the Eye, and find yourself becoming part of its legend.
Review: ‘Eye of the Temple’ is exactly the VR game I always wanted. It’s a room-scale action adventure that sees you walking in a small area performing various tasks. This is one of those VR games that sucks up your time while playing it all thanks to the deep levels of immersion you get here. It looks great, is amazing fun to play will keep you amused for a good while or certainly long enough to justify the price tag. But the truth is you need a BIG play-space here that a lot of us VR players simply don’t have. If you haven’t got at least 2.5m SQ don’t bother getting this game. I do love it and I easily recommend it, but I am sure it could have been made playable for smaller spaces as well, but the game really hasn’t changed much since the original ‘Eye of the Temple: First Steps‘ was released long ago.
