Description: The Shores of Loci is a single player narrative puzzle game that can only be experienced in VR. With compelling characters, beautiful cinematic scenes and surreal worlds, the Shores of Loci will transport you to other dimensions to create visions larger than life. In this multidimensional story, Giants and Villagers alike need your help to reclaim their lands and rebuild their cities. Complete your journey creating a universe where puzzled pieces are assembled and transformed.

Review: ‘Shores of Loci’ is a 3D jigsaw puzzle of sorts in which you will be building little islands full of life and detail to the point that they look like little dioramas and then those little islands become real-sized ones once they are finished. It is well worth mentioning the level of detail that has gone into these puzzle islands as it really is incredible, like holding a small piece of land in your hands and feeling like a god as you build the islands back together. It’s slow-paced, relaxing and shouldn’t give most puzzle fans much hassle as there is a hint system in place once you hold don’t a piece for long enough.

While there are only 4 worlds it will take you a good hour or so to get through them all and by the looks of things there are more to come in the future. I would have liked it to have been a bit cheaper than the current £11.39 asking price, but I think the amount of effort that has gone into the models still makes it worth the purchase.
