Description: You are Asher Neumann, an unwitting hero thrust into a time-bending journey to change the course of history. The search begins for your grandfather’s lost apartment and the mysterious artefacts that are hidden within. With the discovery of an unusual wristwatch, you forge a friendship and unlock the power to traverse time and space. Will you have what it takes to navigate the secrets of the past and prevent the collapse of civilization?

Review: Wanderer’ is a time-travelling puzzle adventure game in which you play the role of Asher Neumann who is trying to change the course of history for the better. Right from the start, you will notice that this is a HIGHLY polished game. It looks amazing, almost everything is interactive and it all just works with amazing sound effects, music and a pretty interesting story to tide things over.

OK, so the game isn’t perfect and at least a few times the game hard-crashed for no reason and some of the puzzles that span multiple timelines are hard AF! But given that this game is from an indie team I really have high respect for them for making such a stunning game. It pains me to say there are far too few high-quality VR titles, but this is one of those titles every VR owner should have in their library.
