PAGAN PEAK VR

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers - Spoiler Free Review[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program[/i] You can see my video review here: https://youtu.be/VMW6C5x16Mg This is a good escape room with lots of atmosphere and high production value. It even has a good story. If you're expecting Kobold Chapter 2 then you'll be disappointed because this game is more of a traditional puzzle escape room. Whole thing should take on average about 1 hour. There are 3 rooms to solve, although the last location is very basic. The puzzles are quite enjoyable to solve because they can be figured out through simple, but careful observation. There are no obtuse puzzles. So if you struggle with puzzle games, this might be an approachable one, even for beginners. Puzzle experts though may find the puzzles here a little too easy to solve and may be able to breeze through the game in about 20-30 minutes. The locations are detailed and look very good. There is full locomotion and 3 different turn options, although I believe the snap turning option is the best in this game. You can play mostly seated, although one object may be hard to reach because it is high so you may need to stand up for that. I really liked the atmosphere. I enjoyed the puzzles. However, this game does have some serious faults. As other reviewers have mentioned, the game isn't the best optimized. I was getting about 45 frames per second on my 1060 GTX with the graphics set to high. There was stuttering on my avatar hands with some objects (but not for others). However, the biggest negative, in my opinion, was the last 1/3 of the game. Rather than having puzzles like the first two rooms, there is simply a choice to be made. Pick one and you get a good ending. Pick the other and you get the bad ending. There is no replayability. Once you know the solution to the final puzzle in the room, you can go straight to that and skip the rest of the puzzles in that room. The good part of that is that you can quickly get to the alternate ending, although, you cannot skip the early cinematic portions at the start of the game. There are loading screens as well. [b]Rate 7/10. This is a good developer and should get our support (because I want Kobold Chapter 2!). This is one of the highest production values for an escape room currently available in VR. However, I hope game gets patched to address the issues mentioned.[/b]

Played on full Index kit, 2080ti/9900k/32GB Great game. The horror aspects don't get in the way of the puzzle solving. Graphics looked good and the sound really added to the atmosphere. This is the best horror themed escape room Ive played so far. Great job devs!

Loved the Kobold game, love Pagan Peak VR too. I didn't think I'd like an escape room. While I was sometimes frustrated with some of the puzzles (thinking too far on one of them). It was a very good and suspenseful game. I did start on normal mode, thinking maybe I should have went with easy, but after 1 game over (it can happen) I decided to stick with normal mode (I was gonna beat it damnit!). Which I did. Well worth its money!

This is an easy game with puzzle solutions everywhere in-game. Exit the house and follow the footsteps in the snow. I have made speedrun videos on my YouTube Channel. (with an example of a good and a bad ending). It had some creepy parts to it (people at the window). It's worth the VR experience. You should definitely try the game.

tbh i played it 3 times and i had fun all the time worth it

Short gaming experiences are actually just what I've needed lately, as my time is short. Pagan Peak delivers an experience that encompasses four rooms and a small outdoor section. I explored and discovered everything in each area, and finished in about an hour. Nice. The game is dark and creepy, but there's a layer of amusement that keeps it from ever really feeling oppressive. I genuinely grinned at some of the stuff. 😄 The claims about the game having no jump scares are accurate, though there are a few things that could catch a player off guard and startle him. If you're not a complete wimp, you'll be fine. I am sad to report I had technical problems. The game crashed two times during my first play session, and thankfully the game autosaves. My second play session involved about 4 crashes as soon as I loaded into the game in the outdoors area. The last time I stood still for a few seconds, instead of immediately trying to move, and that was the time it didn't crash and I was able to complete the game. The game supports both SteamVR and Oculus runtimes, but it launched with SteamVR when I selected Oculus. They should probably fix that. Pagan Peak is a cool little experience worth going through if you enjoy immersive creepy stuff with some light puzzle solving. Have fun.

This game is so jittery, and you have to exit to get back to the menu to change the graphics settings. Even when I lowered the graphics settings, it ran so poorly that the game was barely playable. Even worse, all of this pain led to a painfully short game with only a couple decent scares and maybe 3 or 4 puzzles that I solved while high in no time flat. TL;DR short, too easy, and poorly optimized
