Other than the gift-wrapped ending, the scale of the puzzles fittingly rises alongside the story, regularly teasing you with the darkest implications involving the events happening to you. Torn is one of the better puzzlers in gaming. Full stop. There’s a growing number of games on virtual reality platforms that gamers without an HMD are missing out on and this is certainly one of them. Do not miss this one if you have the means to play.

The sheer invention on display inside its gravity-defying mansion makes it as thrillingly curious as VR gaming gets, but its plodding exposition and largely simplistic puzzles can sadly undo a lot of the great work Aspyr put into the story and design. This is one of VR’s boldest adventures yet but, like the crazy scientist at its core, it doesn’t have all the answers.

The main enemy with Torn is actual, real-life time and a possible lack of patience - studying courses to increase statistics to get a better-paying job takes a lot of time. Fortunately, turning to a life of crime can be just as rewarding with money, albeit much riskier due to the possibility of going to prison. Fortunately, while Torn can be a murky experience for some, there is a handy in-game forum filled with information and helpful users who can help to navigate this otherwise dry adventure.

Torn is a long way from being revolutionary and its controls never feel right, but the cheerful ambience, passable voice-acting, and satisfying-but-simple puzzles make it a pleasing jaunt – even in moments of aimless wandering trying to work out which door you’ve missed. There’s undoubtedly a lot more to be done in VR, but this is an agreeable way of passing the time while you’re waiting.
