Description: Entropic Shop VR is a bundle of mini-games designed for virtual reality. Set in a fantasy magic shop, the different mini-games offer a wide set of activities, each one requiring different skills and strategies. The mini-games take the form of simple and short but intense experiences in a colourful, cartoon and absurd environment. Feed a tax collector with doughnuts, search the shop for cursed objects and try to please what seems to be an endless wave of clients.
Play alone or share your headset with your friends for some old fashioned multiplayer. Be the fastest, the more accurate or just the luckiest to compete for the high score. Or you can just relax and play it casual. Because those who brag about their score are just trying to compensate for something else. And you’re not trying to, are you ?
Review: Entropic Shop VR is a magic-filled collection of mini-games in which you will play one of four games. Entropic Shop (find items on a list), Basket Express (Virtual Job), Treasure Hunt (Hidden object) and Heist Dance (a music rhythm game). They all look good with cute cartoon graphics form start to finish, so nothing too scary here for the little ones. The good news is the games are all easy and most kids should be able to play them as well. But I do feel asking £3.99 for this is just too much by half. So do consider waiting for a sale to get this one, but for some family-friendly fun this is worth a look.
