The Setup
A physics-based puzzle-adventure where you play a giant, good-natured tentacle monster, using your tentacles to build contraptions and solve environmental puzzles across a sandbox world, wrapped in a light, humorous story about self-discovery.
The Review
It’s a lot funnier and more heartwarming than the "giant tentacle monster" premise suggests, and there’s real substance here — 10+ hours across 50+ levels, which is a lot for a VR title. The tentacle-physics puzzle mechanics feel genuinely novel. The one real downside is that it’s VR-exclusive with no flat-screen mode, so it’s a hard sell to friends without a headset.
What I Liked
- Substantial length for a VR title
- Genuinely funny, heartwarming tone
- Novel, tactile tentacle-physics puzzle mechanics
- Flexible comfort settings
What I Didn’t
- VR-exclusive, no flat-screen option
- Single-player only despite the playful premise
The Verdict
Rating: 4/5
