About Marvellous Playground:
This was one of the most amazing experiences i have had in vr so far.. Let me be clear.. Nothing really happens in this. It’s not scary, or action packed.. You sit in a cart and listen to a woman’s voice talk to you soothingly. It’s almost like a meditation. The music is absolutely beautiful, the game runs smoothly, and it was just a great experience.. This shows you there is more to vr then wave shooters, and horror games.. The only complaint i have, and this is a minor spoiler if you can call it that, was the ending.. I was almost there, the music, the words’ coming out of her mouth, it was really emotional. And just as the cart started moving fast, and i thought i was gonna be treated to a mind blowing finale, it just, ends.. Really wish they followed through on the ending.. But over all what a great experience.. Just take it in.. Nothing is gonna jump at you or startle you.I had always believed that the immersion of VR can be used for more than gaming, that it can deliver beautiful and meaningful experiences that mono screen based mediums cannot. I started up the Impossible Machine feeling a little agitated, one too many coffees and fast games games, having just finished the my first time in the Marvellous Machine I feel calm and centered. An excellent use of the medium to allow positive changes in mental states.
