  Pixel Ripped 1989 is SO COOL! I love the concept so much and they did such a great job on this! You play in VR as a girl in school with a Gameboy-type device with a game on it reminiscent of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon blue/red. I grew up playing those games so playing this was so nostalgic for me. They seamlessly weave the 2D gaming world with the 3D reality world together with a fantastic story and visual effects. You have to play the Gameboy and it can be pretty tough at times while also playing in the 3D reality world. The first level you have to distract your teacher with spit wads for example otherwise you lose and get sent to detention. There's 80's synthwave music mixed with 8 bit MIDI video game music and it's perfect. I would love to see more games like this that span generations of gaming and fuse them into one but for now Pixel Ripped 1989 stands alone uniquely and wonderful. Total playtime for the main game was 2.5 hours, short and sweet, but there's also a Halloween themed arcade mode.

  WHERE IS THE DAMN OPTION TO CHUCK THE F*&%ING CONTROLLER?!?

  Jokes aside, a damn awesome VR experience with a late 80s charm! Brilliantly done! VERY difficult at times just like an old GameBoy & NES game especially those damn red dragons at the final boss! F&*K those guys!! Loved (and hated) every bit of this game, from beginning to end! I beat it in one sitting which does say something of how the game pulled me in and kept me entertained. If you are looking for a retro GameBoy/NES VR experience, get this game! Actually, just get it no matter what! It really is an awesome experience that every VR player should play! Looking forward to the sequels!!

  Phenomenal Game, had 0 issues during my play to which it was the embodiment of quality over quantity. Can't wait to experience the sequel and soon to be joined by their upcoming third release in the series.

  Should you buy this? Yes. Any other questions you should ask? No. If you like the look of the trailer - just know experiencing it first hand in VR is EXACTLY as fulfilling as you hope it will be. I've been eager to play this since seeing footage of the original test version what seems like years ago now. Games lived up to my self-induced-hype so far! Only downside - i'm only 50 mins in and over halfway through. This could be a bit of a short one - so i've had to force myself to stop playing so not to go through it in one sitting. But regardless - this is a MUST OWN for any 80's/early-90's kid with fond gameboy/NES memories. Also there appears to be additional secrets (hidden cartridges) in each stage that I need to go back and find them all - similar to finding the KONG letters in DKC. So I think there should be a few more hours of replayability :) Great work over the years Ana and congrats to the additional devs at ARVORE who helped her complete this masterpiece. Roll on Pixel Ripped 2!

  I've spent almost four hours in this game so far (with at least another 4-8 hours to go for hidden items, achievements, and an extra game mode), and overall I'm very pleased with it. There are countless video game, pop culture, and product references sprawled throughout the game. I cannot tell you how many times I called my wife in the room just so I could ask her if she remembered this or that (I will not provide you with examples because I don't want to spoil them for you). I was so immersed in this game that I forgot I was actually in VR, and when I saw lightning in a few scenes I actually thought it was IRL. I was glad to see the environment change each level because the classroom level took a bit away from the first level of the handheld game as you have to keep looking away from the screen to shoot spitballs every minute to distract the teacher (this could be fixed by increasing the amount of time she becomes distracted for). PROS: + Great blend of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 80-90's theme. + 5 hidden cartridges scattered throughout each of the four levels (20 to collect in all). + Smart use of the environment (from the 3d levels to the hints/secrets written on paper or audio chatter from people in the world). + Worlds differ slightly when you replay them, which helps with replayability. + Head tracking is fine and framerate is perfect (you'll easily get > 90 FPS). + Touch controllers and Xbox controllers work great. + No loading times whatsoever. + Good amount of achievements to attain. + Extra game mode/difficulty to unlock. CONS: - No options to control the graphic settings (like AA or shadow/texture quality). - Jaggies are present in certain environments, which could be resolved with AA settings. - During 3d levels, I found that the hands and virtual game pad seem to reset at times, which is distracting. - Final round of final boss battle can be frustrating due to no level boundries on the edges of the screen, so your character can fall off the side when hit by enemy projectiles, forcing you to repeat the round. I would really love to see this fixed! TLDR / FINAL THOUGHTS: I would recommend this game regardless of whether you grew up during that era; this game is very fun, creative, unique, and immersive. You cannot go wrong for $20 and you'll likely spend 8+ hours on this game just trying to complete it and collect all of the hidden items, achievements, and unlock the extra game mode.

  This game is an extremely unique one. I havent played anything like it. It's a game that really takes you back to the goold ol days of gaming, but without relying solely on nostalgia. The platforming is fun and polished, and the layering of various game elements keeps the game enteresting the whole time. Highly recommended. Note: I was a beta tester for this game, so I have played the entire game despite what my playtime says. I'm playing through it again just because it's that good :)

  This game takes the spirit of what we remember made video games in the 80s and 90s so cherished and mixes it into the rise of modern VR. This is not your typical locomotion fps VR title. This is a well-crafted and challenging side-scrolling game done in proper VR style! You take the role of a young child obsessed with a handheld video game that becomes intertwined with the real (VR) world. In order to save both the real (VR) world and the video game world, you have to simultaneously play your handheld and deal with the outside world like your teacher who will end your fun if she catches you playing, or saving your classmates from flying creatures, battling your principal to progress and get back to the game, etc. The visuals are colorful, bold and the scale of everything looks bigger than "normal" as you are living through the perspective of a kid and that works really well. The music and sound effects bring everything alive. The graphics change from simple greenish colored pixel designs to more mature bright, glowing, vibrant, muti-colored character designs that maintain that retro pixel feel. Unlike most VR titles, the story works well as a background to the gameplay. There are a lot of references and homages littered throughout the story, environments, and level design - things that will bring a smile to your face. Do yourself a favor and play this game with tracked controllers to feel immersed during the first level or two, but if you are on the Vive, grab yourself an xbox controller because the challenge ramps up and unfortunately, the vive controllers will only cause a lot of frustration as they are not well-suited for the faced-paced, reflex driven input precision needed to move forward in the later levels. This is an enjoyable, well designed, must-play title, that though only lasts 2-3 hours, is worth your attention if you are a fan of video game nostalgia and tight side-scrolling gameplay (or if you just want to go back in time and remember what life was like when you were a kid growing up during the earlier years of video game entertainment)

  Stylistically wonderful but unfortunately the gameplay itself is incredibly tedious, with no need to interact with the ‘real world’ outside of occasionally looking up - apart from the novelty factor it may as well not be there. Difficulty spike on the final boss is incredibly frustrating due to perspective issues which turned a mediocre game into a poor one. Very disappointed.

  I remember playing the demo on DK2. It's come a long way. If you're into Megaman or any sidescroller plus own VR you should definitely buy this. The pixel art alone on the handheld looks great. It could pass for a stand alone platformer. Add everything else.... distractions. Chaos. It's one of the most unique experiences, for sure.
