Description: Portable Farm is a new type of SteamVR overlay that displays 3D objects and scenes through a two-dimensional portal, allowing users to reach inside and interact with objects on another dimension, on top of their normal VR experience. Meaning; idle games and other such concepts are now possible within VR
Review: ‘Portable Farm’ is both an app and a microgame of sorts. It’s a virtual-farm game in which you play on a small tabletop farm. You will be doing the usual things like growing crops and planting them again, but the spin is you can play this micro-game just about anywhere including in other games! Maybe I am missing the point to it, but I just don’t see why you would want to do this! If you want to play a virtual farm game, then you will play a virtual farm game! If you want to play something else you will be playing because that is the game you wanted to play! This is not something I am willing to recommend even if it is oddly clever.
