Description: A casual puzzle game for all generations. Get captivated by its friendly, intuitive and recognizable gameplay and ever more challenging levels. This is a VR game where your entire family will want to take part in.

Review: You start off in a rather pleasant menu with a conveyor belt system of levels. Starting with 1.1 you start the level. The idea is you make levels of blocks by fitting them perfectly together as they fall out of the sky. Sadly things are not that simple for long as the platform you get to build them on gets stranger and stranger as the shape changes. Pretty soon you will find yourself tilting your whole body left and right, leaning into to try and find where to put the next falling piece.

It all starts so easy, but you will soon find yourself struggling to find a place to put it. While there is a lot of controls to get used to, like tilting, tipping and rotating the blocks as well as their position they soon become second nature.

While it doesn’t look any different to the Steam VR version, this is not necessarily a bad thing. While not a whole new game, it does still feel somehow VR friendly. The scenery looks great, the blocks look amazingly realistic as if you could reach out and grab them and even the controls work well once you get the hang of them. This has clearly been made by someone who loves VR and Tetris, which is good news for me because I love both those things. Bloxyz is well worth its asking price and well worth a download.
