Review: I have to admit, the last thing I ever thought I would get to play in VR is a sequel to the truly terrible DEUS EX MACHINA VR game, but yet here with are with DEUS EX MACHINA: Stage Zero. While the new game is better than the older one that really isn’t saying much. You get given 30 mins to solve some of the simplest puzzles you will ever see in a puzzle room game with some of the worst graphics you will see outside of the PS1. Sure, it’s free, probably worth a go and indeed it is better than the original, but it needs to have a lot of work doing to it before it is something I could ever recommend.
