  While it may have encountered the same launch issues that plague so many other independently-released VR titles, I have a hunch that Alice VR is going to come back in a strong way. Carbon Studios has created the largest open-world virtual reality game that I have experienced to date, and they centered it around a historical literary character that provides a wide array of referential material. While the overarching narrative might leave you scratching your head, you won’t care all that much. You’ll be too busy gawking at the beautiful world laid before you.

  This is completely reasonable; I would have put myself in the same boat for the longest time. People want different things from a game. It’s a shame, though, because missing out on a captivating experience like Alice VR is not something that can be recommended. It’s not perfect, but this game fills a niche in the VR market with its entrancing environments and fun take on a compulsive literary tale. Alice VR is best experienced with a set of goggles, but it’s a great experience for anyone.

  The importance of making a good VR game, not just a good game, is demonstrated well in Alice VR. Hopefully, Carbon Studio can continue to take big swings on interesting intellectual properties in the future. With a little more experience they could someday hit one out of the park.

  Alice VR doesn’t have the most engaging puzzles, and its slow pace may be off-putting to some, but this VR ‘walking simulator’ through a sci-fi re-imagining of Wonderland is a beautiful, trippy and clever experience.

  Alice VR fails to do this, with a movement setup that does nothing to persuade the player to endure the discomfort. For the price, if being judged as a non-VR title, the content and quality is extremely lacking. It is only the natural immersion that VR brings that elevates the experience. There is a very pleasant looking world here, and the outside sections are the best bits, but that alone isn't enough - gameplay is still paramount.
