Checkpoint Gaming
By Charlie KellyI’m absolutely taken by Arcsmith. It may lose some players with its abstract puzzle solutions and fiddly nature, but that same challenge will also reel plenty more in. With an enthralling sci-fi world and heaps of atmosphere and personality, this VR title stands out amongst the crowd. Serving as an Oculus Quest exclusive, it’ll hardly be a blip on many a gamer’s radars. However, if you’re into VR and you’re looking for a new puzzle game, Arcsmith is your best bet.
IGN Italy
By Andrea GiongianiFunny, smart, totally friendly even with the most delicate stomachs. Arcsmith offers a cerebral and relaxed pastime at the same time. Recommended for all those who are not allergic to puzzles.
