About Untitled Hood:
Wow, this game was a pleasant surprise! Clean minimalistic visuals and the absence of speech/text/story keep the focus on some truly interesting physics puzzles. Be forewarned, though, that the game presents both intelectual and physical challenges, as some puzzles require throwing with accuracy and timing. Thankfully, the throwing felt natural and responsive, so if you’ve ever thrown darts or tossed a baseball you should be fine. Also, there is no punishment for failure except for the inability to progress, so you can keep trying any through until you get it. I would say that any fan of puzzle games who is patient enough for the skill based puzzles will be impressed with the number of creative ways that throwing a block at a circle can be made surprising and interesting. It kept my curious right up to the end, which took me a little over an hour. Absolutely stellar VR puzzle game. The mechanic is throwing cubes into goals. However, the cubes are color-coded into several different varieties, each with some unique property or behavior you have to reason out and then employ, alone or in combination, to get the right color cube around or through the variety of obstacles and into the matching color goal. It is a game made of (mostly) simple elements which combine to form some fairly complex puzzles, that will require at least some actual thought and experimentation to solve.
