A Fisherman's Tale 2

Hello Operators! Today marks a very special moment for us, as we’re extremely excited to announce the Early Access launch of Spymaster today. Available now, Spymaster comprises all of our hard-earned VR knowledge from Firebird, A Fisherman’s Tale, Maskmaker, One True Path and more, and distilled…

We're happy to announce some fresh news for the game! We just published an update with 2 important changes. First, you probably noticed already but we decided to change the very title of the game. It can seem a bit strange to change a title long after a release, but we realized some players were…

Beautiful Puzzler with some Issues.

I wish we could give games here 3.5 stars. It’s not quite a 4. The first game was great, and marred only by brevity. The second outing also provides a great puzzler with fantastic graphics and art direction, and great new mechanics. However, it still runs a bit short, with 5 chapters that you can finish in one line sitting or in two shorter ones, and the voice acting isn’t that good. However, fans of the original won’t be disappointed. This series has carved out its own little niche on Quest, and is a fun game in its own right.

Epic masterpiece

I remember the first Tale being very short but pretty trippy with the constant changes in scale. Another Tale absolutely blows it out of the water (pun intended). Seriously, buckle up. The mechanics are fiendishly clever. The physics are spot on, if you're living in Alice in Wonderland. There's a thing called a "backwards brain bike" that basically is welded so turning the handlebars right will make the wheel go left. That's what this reminded me of in a lot of puzzle, where your perspective will be turned upside-down but you still have to maneuver through an environment. It's also like the game Twister, where you have to think very hard about what one hand is doing while the other does something completely different. "Trippy" is being gentle. But the puzzles are a perfect balance between cleverly challenging and reasonably solvable. There are no time limits on anything (I spent a lot of time in some rooms just standing in place trying to work out the game plan for my brain). Underwater games creep me out (I saw Jaws in the theater as a child), and the obvious progression toward facing the Kraken made me very nervous that something scary would happen, but the game always sidesteps back into whimsical before it actually gets frightening. And even though I love puzzle games, I always need to cheat a little. I didn't have to here. Solutions are readily obvious (or at least less obtuse) by looking around more closely. And the longer you play, the more you realize this game is really special. I don't finish many games, but I don't think this happens often. As the closing credits rolled, I just sat and took it all in. "Wow" doesn't even cover it. The kind of game I will think about for years to come. I think one of my favorite things about it is there is no real violence. No killing things (spoiler alert). The ending was very compassionate and beautiful. Just, whatever is above "wow" is what I thought. Well done, Vertigo Games. Top marks all around.

Excellent sequel

I loved the first game so I just had to get the sequel. I played sitting down in a very small room on a recliner and had absolutely no issues except occasionally knocking over my drink when I wasn't remembering where I placed it down. The new mechanics in this game added a very clever layer of difficulty over the first game but once you're through the "tutorial" section, it got very exciting to see what was going to happen next. I cannot recommend this game or it's first entry enough and if they make a third entry in this series I will be going all in on it as they are not only fantastic stories but the gameplay mechanics are some of the best that VR has to offer. It's games like this that don't make me feel left behind when I'm still playing on Quest 2 but if a future entry in this series is exclusive to a newer Quest headset, that would actually be a compelling reason for me to run out and buy one. Please give these games a try and I promise you will not be disappointed

Mesmerizing

What an amazing title! Played the first one, “A fisherman’s tale”, it was original, concept and all but didn’t wow me, a little repetitive gameplay. Came to the second and… oh my! What a fantastic experience. The story, the puzzles, the gameplay, originality, voice acting, the scenarios. I teared up at the end, not gonna lie. Incredible, challenging. 10/10

Another Whimsy Delight! ⛵️💜

The first Fishy Tail was my first ever VR game. I fell in love at once. I played it again a year later after I’d become a seasoned VR gamer and loved it just as much. This second one does not disappoint! It’s full of quirky challenges and an immersive world. I love the narrator and the back and forth venues. It’s total escapism that makes you feel like a kid again. The only thing I didn’t care for is the story. It was rather boring and stupid. I can’t help feeling like the developers ( like Netflix and Disney) are so desperate to incorporate DEI that it became the focus and took away from the game authenticity. The first one wasn’t like that at all. Not sure what the point was but here we are. I still love the actual gameplay and the puzzles are not too easy not too hard. 🥰
