The classic block puzzler brought into VR creates a whole new immersive challenge that you won’t be able to put down! Includes four levels of difficulty with custom boards and songs. Unlock each and play them all!
Review: You probably don’t need me to tell you that Block Wave VR is pretty much Tetris in VR and the idea is to fill the floor square and make as many blocks as you can disappear. Of course, things are not that simple and soon the pieces are falling faster than you can humanly cope with. While I like the idea of the game I felt the controls here not well made and nothing felt natural. Personally, I would wait for this to be in a sale, even if it is only £3.99 full price, as I feel paying a little less for this will help you appreciate what there is in this game a little better.
