Mixture Reviews

I'm almost an hour in, but I really like it. It plays like Moss but with more of a combat focus and less of the tedious braindead puzzles where you have to move blocks onto switches. You can glide onto platforms. The textures aren't anything to write home about, but it's neat having a character that talks back. Throwing the flasks is a bit annoying since they miss a lot, but the game seems to be balanced around the expectation that you'll miss a lot. It's cool having to multi-task and scrounge for elements for more flasks to throw while also making sure your character dodges the attacks and doesn't die. The combat would be straight-forward and nothing to write about, but having to look away from the fighting on occasion to get raw materials adds the multi-tasking that makes it a little more interesting. Experienced on Quest 3.

It's sad this didn't get more attention, because I think this is a pretty good game. This isn't just a third-person game. It's like [i]Moss[/i] where you control the little guy on the ground, but you are also a character in the world as well. This type of game where you are effectively playing two characters like this is really fun and is something that's different from most other VR games. The gameplay is pretty simple. It's mainly just combat with minor puzzles involving the "mixtures" that you throw as your VR character. It's simple, but it works for the game. The game doesn't get too repetitive as you gain new mixtures throughout the game and also can upgrade the little moth guy to change some things up. The mixtures are used outside of battle, but can also be used in battle for different effects. One thing I really like from games like this is that the worlds can feel really large, while not actually being that large because of the scale of your VR character. Because the world is large for the small character, it does still feel large for you. And there are numerous differently designed environments that are fun to explore even if they are linear.
