there is a way to carry over saves from the non-vr version of the game and I've been playing from where I left off years ago just around when red sigils start to appear. I would say the game is a lot more engaging in VR. It pretty much was made for it.

The same beautiful and amazing game, but in VR One upside of playing this version, apart from it just being more immersive, is you can't really cheat puzzles, accidentally or not What I found lacking from the regular game, is you can't take connectors without breaking connections (I googled and it is apparently supposed to be possible after some patch, but I couldn't) And for some reason when you use the time speedup feature (by holding both grip buttons), some objects get dropped, while others don't, a bit annoying Overall, it's not a must-have, since it's not as full-featured as some other VR games, but if it's on sale or if you're a big fan of Talos, I'd suggest getting it, for sure

First of all the computers in game you do not need to use, all you do is collect puzzle pieces, in different arenas it is a calming game i love every second of it, and you can't die, you just are back at the start of the puzzle you were on, it is a breath taking game and to be honest after Halflife Alyx this is my 2nd favorite, you should try it it is a little easy sometimes it is easyer then you think sometimes, the solution may be simple just look and keep your mind open. and set movement to continuous or something regular FP controlls, teleport would not be good for this game.

A solid 4/5 stars, would be 5/5 if not for the (not gamebreaking) bugs that I encountered a bit. Throughout just gotta say I first played the non-VR game in 2015, and loved it. And had no problem paying for the VR version when I found out it existed. This game is as beautiful as the day I last played it 9 years ago. Anyways, here are the small bugs- 1- I didn't see an option anywhere that allowed me to scale my height. The windows you shoot lasers from, I had to sit down to properly see through. I am 5 foot 10, and having to sit down to see through windows and access terminals was inconvenient and would break my immersion a bit. This port would benefit from having an in-game scaler where you can set your height and the windows and terminal would scale accordingly so that you dont have to alternate between standing and sitting. 2- occasinally, when pointing a laser redirector, sometimes what I was pointing at (usually other connectors), I'd have to aim noticeably higher or lower than what I'm trying to connect to, to actually connect to it. If those 2 issues were addressed then this is an easy 5/5. But still very much worth it either way

It's the VR version of one of the greatest puzzle games on steam. Surprisingly the controls translate over really well.
