When you tell someone that virtual reality will let them experience exotic and wildly imaginative things as though they were really there, they probably won’t fantasize about being placed in spartan environments and told to stack blocks on top of each other as high as they can. Yet that’s the approach Tumble VR has taken in making use of the PlayStation VR, so even though there are some decent head-scratcher puzzles in this collection it’s hard to get excited about the mundane premise.
The more than 30 puzzles alternate through several variations on the theme. There’s the ridiculously simple and easy stacking of blocks on top of each other to reach a given height, some dizzyingly complex light-reflection puzzles where blocks with mirrors must be used to redirect a laser through multi-colored objectives, the sometimes-frustrating job of stacking as many blocks as you can onto a platform as a bar moves back and forth to knock off anything over a certain height, a random-feeling one where you plant of bombs to knock over a stack of blocks, and building bridges between pillars. There are variations on those ideas, too, and some of the solutions made me feel clever for figuring them out after a few minutes of experimentation. There are many different materials, too, and each has weight and friction properties that have to be accounted for. There’s some depth to it.
