The WhatsNext verdict

For VR players looking for an atmospheric, tactile puzzle-adventure centered around operating a train through a mysterious post-apocalyptic world.: The physical joy of shoveling coal, throwing switches, and using a gravity cannon to dismantle obstacles gives the journey a delightfully grounded, hands-on rhythm. Tradeoff: The entire escape wraps up in around two hours, and occasional VR physics hiccups can briefly interrupt object manipulation.

What it does best

  • Creative VR puzzles with satisfying aha moments

  • Driving a steam train feels wonderfully hands-on

What might put you off
