    Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality You can view my initial impressions review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/mUFxBIJV1gE First thing you should know before buying this game is that the motion controllers are used as a gamepad. So there really isn't any reason to use motion controllers if you have a gamepad controller. This is a seated experience. It's a puzzle game first and foremost with a very confusing story, especially at the start. You do have full locomotion…

    Soul Axiom Rebooted is a first-person puzzler with a lot of well-varied content, an interesting setting, and a somewhat crude execution. It's a remake of a decent game that came out 4 years earlier, but due to horrible mismanagement barely anyone ever played (or even heard of) this remake. The story takes place in the same world as the team's previous title, Master Reboot, but is independent from it apart from a few references. In this world, people can upload their memories and their "souls"…

    This started out seeming like it might be good, but the "powers" you gain are so trivial and automatic (e.g. you can only use power one on some objects, and power two on other objects, so there's no decision, you just do the thing that you are allowed to do) that most of the game is walking simulator. I finished what I think is described as "the first tier", up to getting the third hand-power, and at this point I'm pretty tired of the game - "the beach", especially, was so much walking and…

    Revised 2 March 2020: Overall rating: 7/10. I have played this game for almost 7 hours using Vive Pro with Vive wands......and in VR this game is not bad...it does have a lot of puzzles and different levels. Some problems with this game from my perspective: First the graphics are not the best and slightly blurry at times; and in some areas the lighting is bad. Not a big issue but it does impact on clarity at times throughout the game. Second, using the Vive wands are somewhat…

    This review is exclusively based on Soul Axiom Rebooted's VR support View My first time booting Soul Axiom Rebooted was during my very special Halloween 2022 VR Live Stream "Sponsored" by Wheatstone Holmes. That live stream was conducted with a standing VR setup, so I was expecting to play VR games with motion controllers. After playing Hinge for a couple of hours, I wanted to try Soul Axiom Rebooted. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1429640/HINGE_VR Soul Axiom Rebooted booted into my VR…

    I really enjoy a lot of what this game is going for with the ideas it tries and the QoL choices made with the reboot. However, I have to make this negative review to warn any users primarily getting this for VR that it does not function at all in this mode, and that no matter what I tried I could not even get past the first cutscene. Beyond that, the first cutscene is extremely nauseating and does not look like it has been well ported for SA, so I do not have high hopes for the rest if I was…

    Soul Axiom Rebooted delivers a solid mix of first-person puzzle-solving and sci-fi storytelling. The puzzles are varied enough to stay engaging, often requiring clever use of the game's unique abilities. While the narrative can be a bit abstract at times, the world-building does a good job of keeping you curious. A worthwhile pick for fans of story-driven puzzle adventures.

    "Soul Axiom Rebooted" is for those players who are into mind-bending puzzles, sci-fi stories and stunning digital worlds. The cybernetic dreamscape of this game is a visual treat, filled with neon lights and surreal details. The atmosphere and the world itself makes you want to explore every corner. This title takes the first person puzzle solving to a whole new level with special powers like materializing objects, disintegrating obstacles and even rewinding time. The puzzles are challenging…

    There is no controller tracking! All control is as if playing from a gamepad, looks too not good. It would be quite playable if they would add controller tracking.

    Hey, everybody! I love logic games. This game did not pass me by. To my surprise, I did not fail. The game is worthy of your attention! 1) The puzzles are logical, but not difficult. 2) The visual style is interesting. 3) The plot is interesting enough. 4) Easy controls and narration. Some cons: 1) Bugs when exploring non-standard paths 2) Some inaccuracies in the pointer on quests.

    The VR in this game (Atleast with my Mixed Reality Headset) is severely broken to the point where It's basically unplayable. Freezes way too easily and menus are definitely not VR friendly.

    The Ui, is broken in vr (can't see all of the info) and the motion sickness is crazy, like don't rotate the camera while playing, it's the first thing I learned by doing dev in VR. It's not a VR game, it's a classic game with vr poorly implemented.

    Checking in from 2026, this was still an enjoyable puzzler. No, the graphics area not 2026 AAA visions but they completely fit within the aesthetic of the game. The puzzles are varied and require some thought. What I enjoyed was that the game does not hold your hand and point you to the puzzle. The power mechanics are introduced and once you have those basics down the game drops you into a level and says "Go." and you need to determine how to apply your powers and solves the puzzles. As the…

    I really enjoyed this and played it all the way through using KAT loco and VR. There are some frustrations though. The boss battle at the end feels out of place, and it is really distracting to be walking around looking at your own arms waving around in front of you all the time. Overall though, it was a really good VR experience.

    Soul Axiom RebootedSoul Axiom Rebooted is a simple story-driven puzzle game. The remake feels a little unnecessary, there are some nice new features but I feel VR and Switch support ultimately held them back in improving the game visually, which already looked very dated when it released 4 years prior. The game also has quite a few bugs that ultimately aren't getting fixed now. I enjoyed my time with the game but I recommend buying it on a sale. GameplayIf you play a lot of puzzle games you…

    This game has less ties to the label of "puzzle" than a match 3 game. It's all running around and interacting with objects while trying to wrangle the game into putting you into the interactable state. Overall it's just buggy and bland.

    So far so good. I can pick at the flaws but I'm still interested in coming back to it. There's some graphics glitches, holes in the geo, and invisible walls, plus it can be so dark I fell through a hole in the environment because I didn't see it. Then there's the fact it doesn't use the 6DOF motion of the controllers, it's really just a gamepad game that also happens to work on VR controllers. But weirdly that didn't bother me much, and just helped make it a relaxing seated experience. The rest…

    I played this game in VR using motion controls as a game pad. The game is similar to the Talos Principle. You enter various memories and have to solve puzzles in order to progress. The locations are interesting and expansive and the game provides a lot of content. The quality of the game technically is average. In particular the graphics are poor. In conclusion , this is a average puzzle game but it does support VR and that does add something to the experience that perhaps elevates the game…

I'd be prepared for it to be a piece of ♥♥♥♥. I can request a refund if I realize it's a completely worthless game. Is it all that bad? Yes and no. - The game does look old. They don't play that anymore. It feels like a game from the 2000s. - The graphics are horrible, it smells like old scraps :D + I like the interface, it's intuitive…

    I played the whole game in VR and would recommend this big time. Enjoyed the puzzling and searching very much as it was on exactly the right level of challenge so everytime I played the game I would get a big further into the story because you really want to know what the heck is this is all about. It kept me busy for over 20 hours and was well worth the money. I played this streaming from my desktop pc with the Steam app on a Meta Quest 2 and that worked great.

    An interesting and trippy VR puzzle game. The graphics are not great, already taking into consideration that this is VR. But the puzzles are nice. Accessible, but they'll make you think and scratch your head. There are some different mechanics like materializing and dematerializing things. It's interesting to play in VR, but maybe it wouldn't be that interesting without it.

    Imagine that you just woke up in a strange room, and you have no idea who you are, where you are, and what you are supposed to do…. This is how starting the game will make you feel… Perhaps you already know this is a puzzle game, but there is really no hint, no background story to help you understand what you are supposed to do…. And as such, the start of this game is not the best. As it proceeds, you come to realize that the puzzles are too simplistic and there is a lack of originality… Soon…

    The light is too bright and it's wildly annoying :( It's very hard to get used to in the beginning, it's the first time I've encountered it. So, you should adjust your monitor and light settings inside the game correctly. Okay, I'm rambling... I'm going to go further through the game. By the way, the puzzles can drive you crazy sometimes...HARD!

What kept me hooked was the story, about digital souls. This mixed with intuitive puzzles, which were a bit confusing at times, made for an enjoyable experience.

It's very unplayable and I can't recommend this as a vr title.. The intro scene triggers my motion sickness hardcore, the navigation is very bad and you can't use your controllers at all to move your hands which also triggers motion sickness for me.
