Even with all that considered, I would have definitely welcomed a third or fourth ‘main’ area to flesh the experience out, though the developer says a third elevator will be added for free post-launch. Once your done Turbo Button remixes both segments to give you more challenges, and there are bonuses to unlock by hunting out adorable red fluffy creatures. There is a system for extending your hands to grab objects and a giant mode that puts things within arms’ reach, but much of the magic comes from human-scale, close-up interactions. Also - and I acknowledge that this is far easier said than done - I wish the game had a means of reigning levels in, as people in smaller play spaces might struggle with the assumed amount of virtual space you have. Or at least, it does at first Floor Plan 2 is mainly split between two environments, and the second is larger, more complex and ultimately more troublesome that the first.īut, even as those moments begin to stack and threaten to grate on the game’s charm, the latter eventually wins out. Floor Plan 2 graduates from the Grim Fandango school of brain-teasing there’s not a recurring hook to the challenges and most require some insane stretch of logic, though the game does a good job of helping you along the path. In the training area alone you’ll be greasing finger traps with butter and finding long-lost items hidden under worn hats.
Puzzle solving can be similarly euphoric. It’s an incredible bit of VR-centric gameplay that capitalizes on both the unique interaction and connectivity the medium offers. One particularly brilliant moment has a companion silently communicating with you through a window, directing your hand to the correct switches. I also love the puppetized hands you control and the fantastic stretchy inventory system, which I think might be the best I’ve used in a headset. Puzzl’s employees are overly-chirpy Muppets with big, beady eyes that you can’t help but smile in the presence of, and there’s a momentary spark of human reaction when you try to swipe a security guard’s hat off of his head or steal a radio out from under the hands of a snoozing frog. If you have any experience with the first game’s friendly personality, you’ll know what to expect here – environments are vibrant, interactive playgrounds but it’s the characters within them that really stand out.
