Review: CoLab is a pretty refreshing puzzle game that is a mix of styles to tax just about anyone’s brains. It even looks good, if a little basic and with 100+ puzzles to finish you easily get your money’s worth paying just £3.99. But it is the small things that I hate about CoLab, the annoying narrator and the lack of instructions on some of the harder puzzles. But it is the lack of movement that really takes you out of the immersion with no moving around you can play this sat down with a gamepad and that isn’t what VR could bring to this game. It is good I suppose, but it lacks things that could have made it a much better game. It’s still worth a look I suppose, but I wouldn’t pay much more than a quid or so for it.
