Review: Pantheon is a VR 3D creation app that lets you make and share your creations with friends and other people. Working with the Oculus Touch (of the gamepad) you work wit the classic menu in one hand, make with the other. From making to painting, and even adding textures. While basic there is a lot of possibilities with this app provided you have the creative mind to realise them.

To be honest I spent most the time exploring worlds that other people had created. Some people made stories, other just made something nice to look at, but it was a load of fun seeing them and often enjoying them.

Trying to create various worlds and works of art in VR is always loads of fun, sadly this app takes all that fun away. Sure it is free and so I didn;t expect it to have half the features of some of the paid apps in the same genre. But what I did expect is a basic 3D building app that worked and that is not what I got. It’s hard to get used to, doesn’t work half the time and shapes, styles and colours you get are more basic than windows paint!

But yet, when it did decide to work I found myself still having fun with it. Being able to explore other people’s creations is a great idea and works flawlessly. It’s just a shame the app itself doesn’t work as well.
