Virtual reality really enhances the experience with its excellent mish-mash of different styles and aesthetics helping to immediately sell me on what it was about. I can’t wait for Pixel Ripped: 2017 in which everything is loot boxes and microtransactions in single-player games.

- 8.5Pixel Ripped is a love letter to all things classic gaming. From the inventive melding of retro graphics with a modern VR game setting to the way it subverts medium stereotypes by putting you in the dress and shoes of a grade school girl with a trusty Gameboy, it’s hard not to smile while playing this nostalgia-fueled adventure.
- We highly encourage anyone who is currently a VR user to pick up Pixel Ripped 1989 as soon as possible. It’s a solid experience and did something that few other virtual reality games have ever done to me – make me forget I’m in virtual reality. The gameplay is fun (even if a bit more difficult than you’d expect at times) and the concept is great. It’s a tad longer than most other VR games out there, and comes in at a very reasonable price.
- 8.0The amount of fun to be had traversing the excellently designed levels with almost telepathic control intuition would be more than enough to recommend this, but ARVORE has gone above and beyond to ensure this one sticks in the memory long after completion.
- 7.0There aren’t many games with such a surety of visual design as Pixel Ripped 1989, but while it’s deeply referential it retains its own unique character and flavour. It’s perhaps aggravatingly tough at times, and fundamentally you’ll be playing a Game Boy game for a good portion of your time here, but it’s undoubtedly a VR experience you won’t have seen before.
- Un nostálgico viaje a los 80 que, a los más "mayorcitos", hará aflorar recuerdos y sensaciones de antaño. Un concepto original (jugar a una portátil dentro del juego) que repasa, con humor, muchos clichés y mecánicas con las que crecimos. Lástima que llegué en inglés y se sea un poco corto, porque es una genialidad que recordarás mucho tiempo.
