Virtual Reality games need to do a few things for me to captivate my attention. There needs to be immersion in the world, which usually combines visuals and sound into the story, as well as being able to interact with the world around me. The other thing that VR games need to do to hold my attention is to give me that ‘one more thing’ to keep coming back to, albeit a gameplay loop, enthralling environment, or an engrossing story. Wanderer, which launched in January 2022 on PSVR, Steam VR, and as a native Oculus game (which is where I played the game using Steam VR and my Meta Quest 2) checks all of those boxes for me.

Behind this collaboration that does not look good, we have here a VR game of quality puzzles that really exploits the concept of time travel and incorporates the (varied) puzzles with consistency.

This is one of the best virtual reality games of recent years, almost on a par with Half Life: Alyx. If you have a VR viewer, you can't miss it.

I liked Wanderer a lot. It mixes many strengths of other VR games with many ideas of its own. An interesting pastime with challenges as well as action elements.

Wanderer is a fun, well-crafted game with a detailed narrative and well-designed puzzles. Currently lacks subtitles and translations, making it less accessible to Italian players. Visuals are enchanting, though technical aspects like game physics and exploration need refinement. Recommended for future time travelers.
