As charming as the previous titles in the series. Production quality is top-notch. The intro credits for these games can only be appreciated in VR. Some levels were better than others, but all are designed for you to fail multiple times along the way until you figure out the sequence of inputs needed to complete the level. In a smaller level, that's the strength of the game, not a weakness. However the last level has a little too much RP and waiting, nearly 9 minutes, and if you fail on the awful switchboard panel at the end you have to restart. Big no-no when you're wearing a heavy device on your face. Otherwise, really can't complain. The game is brimming with charm, from the food to the little puzzles and items you get between missions. All the games in the series are recommended.

A brilliant third entry that raises the bar for puzzles even higher. The story is once again super compelling, and the mix of humor and thrill works perfectly. It looks fantastic on my setup and the overall presentation is just captivating. If you liked the first two, you’re going to love this one.

Game is a blast! I never achievement hunt, but this game makes it fun (except some of the speed runs are rough). Highly recommend, support this studio so we get the fourth edition!

This series is the best VR experiences I’ve had. Fully immersive, I feel like an agent every time i’m sat at the desk shuffling through mission materials. Every other game I play I catch myself trying to use those smooth and fluid telekinesis powers. The humor is never over the top cringe, instead just charming. The feeling of discovery then mastery of each mission is so perfect that I cant get myself to do the last mission, knowing I may never find a game like this again. 10/10. And for my oculus users, this game has game settings in steam properties to run in Oculus mode, which way too few games have. It just works, unlike a lot of SteamVR games.

Really good like the first two, granted nothing will beat the second games' intro but this takes second. Unfortunately the achievements weren't idiot proof as the soda was a headache to get to work sometimes and other levels were a breeze in terms of requirements. This game also takes crown for hardest which times just makes it annoying but that's probably on me in some places. One thing for devs as I hope you read these, but for next game, because obviously you'll make another these are great, I hope we can play as spy for Zor as it'd be a great opportunity for you to give wildly different levels and a whole different feel so Phoenix can take a back seat for a bit.
