This old indie title just found new life on the PlayStation Store and it’s compatible with PSVR. Previously released on Steam back in 2015 Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle is a puzzle game that draws on sliding puzzle and platformer elements.

  • Unique puzzle mechanic proven in its predecessor

  • 144 puzzle levels=96 main storyline levels + 48 special ability levels

  • 4 beautifully crafted mansion themes and music

  • Complete storyline with two endings

  • Full controller support

Here’s how the game plays with PSVR, courtesy of Naylo Gaming:

According to Metacritic, the game has mixed/average reviews (only based on 5 critics). Most of the negative feedback seems to be based on unimpressive visuals and slightly repetitive gameplay, some common criticisms for a game of its genre.

While some may see the use of VR as superflous with a genre this relaxed, many gamers find the immersion to increase the magic Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle is trying to convey. This game plays from a sort of third person omniscient–aka “god” perspective–and because it’s a puzzle game where you’re manipulating these rooms in a doll house manner, many players think the VR element creates a whimsical pop-up book experience.
