"Prepare to face some excessive narration, but this creative body-swapping fantasy adventure is an otherwise wonderfully immersive VR experience."
The Good:
Vivid and colorful locations
Body-swapping conceit is nicely executed
Wearing masks to transport yourself to other worlds evocatively mirrors the very idea of VR itself, making for a particularly immersive experience
Maskmaking is satisfying and fun
The Bad:
Over-narrated, especially due to the voice similarity
Spyglass mechanics are too finicky
Potentially thoughtful story gets lost in clunky metaphors
Our Verdict:
Hampered only by some clumsy storytelling and awkward mechanical problems, Maskmaker is an immersive VR experience and an inventive adventure game with enough fun gimmicks to feel like a fresh take on the genre.
