Push SquareSammy BarkerOct 20178/10It's the unique way in which individual stories overlap that makes The Invisible Hours such a great game. You'll need to replay this story multiple times over in order to uncover all of its secrets, and with each run you'll come to appreciate its choreography more and more. Existing inside a living, breathing world with famous historical figures like Thomas Edison is what virtual reality was made for, and the fact that the fiction is able to deliver shocks with such frequency is testament to the quality of the story-telling on display.

EurogamerRobert PurcheseOct 2017A brave VR murder mystery experiment inspired by immersive theatre, but the asking price is too high.

GamePittRob PittNov 20178.5/10If you have a PSVR and are wondering what game to buy which won't make you queasy and doesn't involve platforming or shooting things then this is for you! The story is great, a well-known one but with twists and turns which you don't expect that will keep you entertained for hours. Tequila Works had me believing I was inside a murder mystery, fully immersed more than any game, TV show or movie ever has.

Thumb CultureJohn TonksOct 20174/10I really doubt that this game will be something that people will want to play over and over again. With the wooden acting and poor character models, one play though is plenty for me. Not to mention how many times you need to watch the story to obtain the clues and see all characters. By the end of it you will probably know the story better than the characters in it. Hardened trophy hunters will find a good amount here to work through. (I commend you for how many times you will have to listen to ‘Detective Gustav Gustav’).
