Review: It has to be said ‘SMUSH.TV – Competitive VR x PC Action’ is quite an innovative game of the likes we have not seen before. The gameplay is a cross between Beat Saber, Tetris and a Tron Shooter, all rolled into one. While you can indeed play on your own this game is meant to played by two people, one in VR and the other using the PC. While the action is supposed to be linked to the beat-map of the music I didn’t get that feeling at all. Sure, it is still a fun game to play, but that side of things sucks. Played as a party game this game will deliver on value, but as a single-player experience that £15.49 price tag will seem ridiculous. If you can get friends or family to play this with you I do recommend it (maybe wait for a sale anyway), but us single players should probably give this a miss unless it is on sale for just a quid or two.
