  Despite an innovative approach to an escape room-style adventure, with actions in one realm affecting another, the extensive hard-to-follow dialog, finicky controls and “to be continued” ending makes it difficult to recommend Flow Weaver as a worthwhile standalone VR experience.

  It never feels good giving a negative review. I sat on this for a full day, agonizing over scoring such a beautiful game poorly. But what other choice do I have when I had to restart multiple times for even a shimmer of hope to finish what I started?

  I don’t think anything would have been lost from Flow Weaver had it been a normal FPS game on PC, and in fact, it would have been much easier and comfortable to play. I really enjoyed the story and puzzle-solving in Flow Weaver, but I don’t think it uses VR in a meaningful way at all.

  Flow Weaver's short length is the least of its problems. While it does have some interesting ideas, it's not fun to play and often feels like a chore. The voice acting and art style are both appealing, but neither are enough to justify a playthrough. There are far superior escape room experiences available for virtual reality headsets that fans of the concept should consider checking out instead.

  The gameplay is boring, the texture quality is akin to a PS1 game, the story is barely interesting, and there are far too many bugs and glitches to count. Trudging through the mess that this game is, the only redeemable quality is the dimension-hopping --- a great idea that definitely needs to be implemented properly.

  Flow Weavers is a well-designed and enjoyable escape room puzzler that is perfectly suited to virtual reality but also suffers from some of the common issues that the format provides. While it doesn’t reach the genre heights of The Room: A Dark Matter, it offers a welcome change of setting with the emphasis on magic and dimensional teleportation well suited to the virtual world. This is a game that may well weave its magic on you, albeit for only a brief while.
