Description: Are you a strategic thinker? Do you have a steady hand and nerves of steel? Do you enjoy building towers or are you more of a demolition demon? With over 70 fiendishly addictive levels of balancing, building and demolishing, Tumble VR – exclusive to PlayStation VR – will test your physical and mental dexterity to the max.
Get hands-on with gravity-defying building tasks where the highest tower gets the biggest score, or take on tricky balancing acts with blocks of all shapes, sizes, weights and dimensions. Enjoy blowing things up? Lay mines in tactical positions to topple towers and score points for the biggest blast radius.
Review: Tumble VR is a puzzle game of sorts that also relies on you being a strategic thinker. You will not only need a PlayStation Move Controller, but you will also need a steady hand and nerves of steel to play it. Set over 70 levels you will have to build with bricks, knock bricks down, or even use bricks to guide something to its destination, this is very much like a virtual Jenga set with some bonus levels thrown in for good measure.
With an easy to navigate menu, simple controls and a nice learning curve this is a game that would only work in VR. Being able to lean into and around your brick structures means you can get the perfect spot for the next brick pretty much every time (provided you have a hand of steel). With score challenges and even a multiplayer mode, this is a game that should keep you amused for several hours at least. If you like your games simple and fun, this one will certainly tick the right boxes.
While most the puzzles are based around stacking blocks as high as you can before they tumble like you probably did when in nursery school, in VR it is just so much fun and at times deeply nerve-wracking. What I did find odd was even in a VR game, with a VR block, in my VR hand, my real world hand started to shake! Some of the puzzles are so hard that your nerves will get the better or you. OK, so you are probably not going to play this game an awful lot, once the challenges get a little tougher most people will give up. But for those who want to go on and get gold on all the puzzles, there is also the multiplayer mode to mess about with. A simple idea that is simple to play.
