Island Time VR (2018)

After a journey at sea, you are shipwrecked on a tiny island. Using your wit, ingenuity and the advice of your new buddy, Carl the Crab, you’ve gotta find a way to keep yourself from starving and survive. Craft tools, fend off creatures, try to signal an airplane… or you could just give up and die? Maybe, just enjoy the sunset while you can. Almost makes you forget that you're in a desperate struggle against your own mortality.

Island Time VR is a lot of fun for those precious few minutes you find yourself in its world.

Much like Job Simulator, Island Time balances the ridiculous with a challenging task perfectly. Although it may get repetitive once you learn the ropes, the loop of discovering new ways to survive while dealing with whatever mishaps may occur is engaging and enjoyable. Spending time on the island with your mate Carl the Crab can be great fun in VR, just don't expect to spend a lifetime doing it.

Stranded on an island with a talking crab... you may find yourself wishing for a quiet volleyball.

Island Time VR barely works correctly, and it's an extremely shallow survival game that is often annoying when it does.

Island Time VR might have been a fun pick up and play game had it cost £3.99 or something similar, however, there is no way I could possibly recommend you pay £16.99 for what essentially feels like a demo. There are so many better games out there which you should spend your hard earned cash and time on. It disappoints me to say this, but spend your money on something else.
