Description: Light Tracer is a VR Platform-Puzzler in which the Player is a godlike creature who has to guide a princess in despair up the enormous Tower of Bellbatis. Use your hands to either lead the princess past foe and obstacle or move freely around the world and interact with it. This is a new genre for a new device, a novel and creative take on the popular genre which opens up a new gaming experience that’s clear from the moment the player takes up the Valve Index & HTC Vive.
Review: If you play this game in small doses then you might be able to withstand the frustrating game mechanics that punish you for the smallest of errors. Just a single click too close to the edge and your character will fall, just an accidental click into the sky will cause much the same thing. This is a beautiful looking game that requires precision and plenty of patience. I really did enjoy playing this game and I am happy to say it is worth its asking price. But just be prepared to be frustrated in ways you never thought possible. This is not a game for those with a short fuse that is for sure. Also, I do suggest waiting for a sale as even a little bit off will leave you feeling better about your purchase.
