Eye of the Temple Critic Reviews

Eye of the Temple is a rare VR gem that caught me by surprise. Its natural and immersive room-scale movement system, rewarding puzzle sections, and overall scale are excellent. If you own a VR headset and have enough room to play, Eye of the Temple successfully proves the potential of VR.

Eye of the Temple feels like it goes back to VR’s roots in a way, the gameplay is simple but very effective, always keeping you thinking and on your toes. The whole experience achieves that one sort after quality in VR, immersion, where you become so focused on what you’re doing it’s easy to forget that the temple is actually your living room. Just be careful not to topple over, that can happen!

Eye of the Temple is the perfect game to feel like Indiana Jones. Traveling to a remote corner of the world, whip in hand, solving puzzles, avoiding traps, riding a wagon, balancing on the void... And all with real movement in an immovable 2x2 space. The mechanics convey the real sensation that we are moving in a much larger space, and the result is spectacular.

Eye of the Temple is an essential VR experience, featuring a well-paced campaign with interesting mechanics. It's a release that demonstrates how intelligent design can work within the constraints of current technology, while ultimately sacrificing very little to do so.
