Description: Light Repair Team #4 is a light-reflection puzzle game where you play as a light-pipe repair person. Figure out how to properly bounce, combine, move and split light through 25 puzzles so that you can return power to nearby buildings and get the city back on its feet.

The city of New Corona’s power grid is none like any other. The city uses light to power its buildings! However, due to flooding and a new canal system to replace old roads and paths, the light-pipe power grid has fallen into a state of fragility. It’s breaking all the time! As the player, you will play as a light repair person on Light Repair Team #4. What happened to Light Repair Team #1 through #3? Well, that’s another story. Use the provided mirrors, lenses and prisms to re-route the light pipes to their proper receptacles. Sound like a simple job? Well, that depends on how bright you are.

Review: Light Repair Team #4 is a light bending game with roomscale puzzles for you to complete. While it is indeed a short game I think the low price point does reflect that (much like the light beams in the game). Some people will find it too basic and too easy, but as I said, for the price, I do think this is worth a look. It makes good use of motion controllers and looks pretty good (if a little sparse) in VR. Well worth a look, but don’t expect a lot of gameplay time.
