Others, like Crystal Rift, is a relic of an earlier era for virtual reality. In their time they won deserved praise because few developers had created complete games for the hardware. At this point gamers are simply looking for more sophisticated experiences with their expensive headsets. Crystal Rift might keep players exploring for a while, but it feels like a prototype for a better game which doesn’t yet exist.

Critic reviews
- 3.0Sadly, what we instead have, is a bromidic slog through uninspired puzzles and dungeons, which is best left to only the most ardent and patient of dungeon-crawler or VR enthusiasts. I’m also pretty sure it’d be handy for insomniacs — it’s better than counting sheep!
- 3.0Crystal Rift is far from an enjoyable experience, with cumbersome controls, lacklustre visuals, and poor enemy AI. The entire experience gets very tiresome very quickly, and with the ever increasing expectations for great quality games, this just doesn't cut it. This rift would be better left unexplored, unless you think you'd enjoy its torturously repetitive depths.
- La verdad es que estamos ante uno de los peores juegos que hemos probado en realidad virtual. Y eso que tenía un planteamiento muy prometedor, que podía habernos enganchados a los amantes del rol más clásico. Crystal Rift es un juego que habíamos empezado con muchas ganas, y sobre el papel podía tener su encanto, pero le falta profundidad, un desarrollo más variado y entretenido y técnicamente es un desastre.
