March 2025
A Fisherman's Tale is a fun puzzle game that plays with you're perception. Also it's a fun little tale as well with a charming assortment of characters. The graphics are a cool style. The length is kind of short, but not surprising for a VR title and can be played in one sitting. I'm not sure if it's worth $14.99, but definitely worth on sale.

Great game with fantastic storytelling. However, it is a bit short (90 minutes). Puzzles are relatively straight-forward, and can be inferred by the matryoshka kind of mechanic. Very creative use of VR. Worthwhile experience, specially if you think of it as an experience rather than a long game.

A very nice, but short game. The story telling is great, the surroundings and objects are fun to interact with and the whole concept is perfect for VR. Puzzles are very straightforward, it took me just 90 minutes to finish (including some fooling around), but I've missed some optional achievements, so I guess that could be used as a replay-ability value.

When I say the phrase "VR games used to be fun," this is what pops into my head. It works so well in VR, it gives you this unique sense of wonder and awe without being laggy and overly ambitious. Pretty short, I took an hour to beat it but honestly it could've probably been done in half that. But damn is it nice to sit in that tiny slice of VR history where games were this dedicated and creative. It's a pretty standard point and click adventure with a recurring ability to shrink objects or enlarge them by shifting your perspective from model house inhabitant to model house builder. I think with the VR, it turns a solid 7/10 game into a 8/10 if not just to put this game on a pedestal for what vr can do right. $15 is a tall price for something shorter than an HBO episode but It's all about how much you wanna go back to that point in time.

It's worth to play because the idea is very interesting and works really well in VR. But the gameplay itself is a bit boring and janky, the narrator treats you like a brain dead child that makes really annoying. Only grab this game on a sale.
