Description: Waddle Home is a game about life as a benevolent alien who loves saving penguins and solving puzzles. Grab your Vive and guide penguins through a snowy world filled with traps, guards, and ice, and lead them back home to the Rescue Ship. Bop blocks and toggle switches to help them escape nasty traps and dodge those pesky robot guards. Save the penguins as fast as you can, and collect all three eggs in each level to get a high score!

Review: Waddle Home ticks all the right boxes for a good little puzzle game. It’s fun to play, easy to get the hang of and also offers pretty good value for money. It also has to be said that in VR in it works extremely well and feels natural to play. It even feels strangely real and immersive at times, like little real robot penguins placed down on a diorama for you to control. While I will admit that I did enjoy the PSVR version of this game more this PCVR version is still well worth a look.
