Description: A VR arcade game that immerses you into an underwater experience, compete with your friends and family to achieve the longest dive and collect the highest number of pearls by collecting the bubbles that emerge from the abyss!
Review: ‘Bubbles & Pearls’ is a bubble popping challenge game in which you have to finger pop as many bubbles as you can while avoiding the bad oil-filled ones. What? Do you want more info than that? Tough because that is all there is to this game. Sure, there is a timer as you start to run out of oxygen, but it isn’t too much hassle at all and all you really need to do is pop all the bubbles, avoid the black ones! It’s a short gameplay loop that gets very repetitive quick quickly.
My biggest issue with this game is the price and the lack of content that makes that said price an even bigger issue. If this had been a quid or two I would have suggested giving it a try, but personally, I wouldn’t bother paying much more than that as this game simply isn’t worth it.
