Description: From the co-creator of Rick and Morty comes Trover Saves the Universe. Your dogs have been dognapped by a beaked lunatic who stuffed them into his eye holes and is using their life essence to destroy the universe. You’re partnered with Trover, a little purple eye-hole monster who isn’t a huge fan of working or being put in the position of having to save the universe.

Only you and Trover can save everything in this bizarre comedy adventure filled with combat, platforming, puzzles, and morally questionable choices – created by Justin Roiland! -Control Trover’s movements, but not his mouth. He’s got a lot to say about what’s going on in the game. -Travel the cosmos to experience a variety of weird alien planets and characters with big personalities. -Upgrade Trover AND YOURSELF with new abilities while evading awkward situations. -Immerse yourself in weirdness.

Review: While far from perfect I still think Trover Saves the Universe is a good addition to the VR platformer line-up. With some edgy humour, this is Adventure Time, only a lot stronger. Don’t let its cutesy cartoon looks fool you, this is an adult game with adult humour and while it doesn’t take an adult to control it, it will take you a while to get used to it. While the jokes are often better than the gameplay I am still happy to recommend this but do make sure you like this games humour before download it as the jokes are pretty much all that makes it worth a download.
