Description: Pipe Dreamin’ VR: The Big Easy is a single player casual puzzle game set in the chaotic, watery and silly world of subterranean New Orleans. As a player, you will use custom VR mechanics to catch raining pipes, avoid the rising waters and build unique pipe structures to escape flooding rooms.
Review: Pipe Dreamin’ VR: The Big Easy is very much like the classic pipe games of old, only in VR. The idea of this game is sound, you play the role of a New York plumber trying to fix huge sinkholes in the street. To be fair graphically the game is OK and some work had been put into it. But boy does this game have issues. Several times the pipe attached and wouldn’t let the water flow through, the game crashed more times than I care to mention and some pipes that you need to finish the levels simply don’t exist! But the final nail in this game has to be the £11.39 asking price for only ten levels. I would want ten times that much for the same price! At the moment I simply can’t recommend this game at any price, but if the issues do get fixed and the price dropped I would give it the thumbs up.
