Arca's Path VR Reviews

My wife with Cerebral Palsy has limited movement. This game is perfect because it relies on head movements alone.

This game is very addictive. It's definitely for those who like puzzles. I loved it.

I love how different and unique this game is. Playing without a controller and just the headset is trippy.

Really nice game. Lots of great ideas. Great visuals. Great controls. Unique. A VR must-have.

Pretty good atmospheric puzzle game. It's a rare combo of a bit challenging and very relaxing, and the price is fair for the amount and quality of content you get. So good I re-bought it on Oculus so I can play on my Quest.

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/GKNbsteBAJ0 [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] i got this game on sale for $6.79 USD this week on Steam and I am giving a tepid recommendation at that sale price. I do think the game is overpriced for what it is. It's a gaze-based navigation marble run / maze type game. There are 4 chapters with 25 total levels total. Whole thing took me 3 hours exactly. The game is beautiful. The artists involved in this game really created some beautiful worlds. Unfortunately, several of the assets are repeated and several levels look almost the same. I would have liked to seen more variety. Same thing with the music. The soundtrack is really good. But again, it's repeated throughout several levels. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of gaze-based navigation. It reminds me of all the bad mobile VR games out there. I won't say it's great in this game, but they definitely made the most of it. They made lemonade out of lemons. If you're worried about neck-strain, they figured out how to minimize the problem because you're hardly ever looking all around. Unfortunately, you are punished for looking around. I died several times while looking around. Technically, you can stop, hold down the a button on the Touch controller, and the game will pause and then you can look around .... but it was too cumbersome to do that often for my tastes. There's also a story here told through breaks in between chapters that are comic-book like drawings that show what's going on. They looked cool, but unfortunately, it didn't draw my interest. There is no voice acting. So I did enjoy the game, but I've definitely played more exciting marble maze type games. I enjoyed Marble Mountain VR a lot more than this game and that game is priced lower. This one is just too casual in the gameplay and even the light puzzle elements were too easy. I would have liked to have seen some of the puzzle concepts combined to make for a more challenging gameplay. [b]Sale Price Rating 6/10. Normal Price Rating 5/10. Buy on deep deep sale and only if you're interested in a casual, artistic, relaxing experience mixed with some puzzle elements in your marble maze game.[/b]

Arcas path...what can I say but well done. Arcas path reminds me a lot of marble madness, but so much cooler as you are in the action. Each level gets crazier than the next! One complaint I've heard some saying, without trying mind you, is they don't like that you control the ball with your head...this is where the game shines and it is this mechanic which makes the game actually fun to play. It took me a few minutes to get over my already preconceived idea that I wasn't going to like it...a couple levels in I thought wow, this is actually really cool. Is it another wave shooter, another escape the room game (we need 1000 more of those....not lol) No, this game is something unique and special in VR. If you liked Marble Madness you will like this game. Bravo devs, bravo.

Great fan of Super Monkey Ball, Marble Madness, Hamsterball etc. But i honestly hate the control system. I understand it's necessary for devices like Oculus Go, but please add in the Vive version an option for tilt-controller, or at least a command-line switch if you don't want to touch the UI. Thanks. Until then, sorry but i can't recommend this game.
