";s:4:"text";s:5800:" In fact, the game itself winds up being pretty brief, with only a handful of worlds until you reach its conclusion. The gameplay isn’t exactly the most nuanced in the world, but the ride is still a blast while it lasts.While the game plays extremely well despite the lack of VR, this is one game which would have benefitted massively from gyroscopic aiming.
Not only does it add an interesting twist to the otherwise-familiar platforming gameplay, but also means that your view becomes even more vital to seeing where you need to progress to, spotting the important collectable coloured babies, and generally making progress throughout the stage much more visible.We said that the chairopian is stationary, but we actually lied – they can somehow move up and down into the air. Justin Roiland and Squanch Games have done an excellent job of taking the ludicrous, freeform humor of Rick and Morty and molding it around a straightforward but enjoyable 3D brawler – even if it’s lacking the complex and well-crafted plots the best episodes of that show are known for. Roiland’s unique brand of loose, improvisational jokes with intentionally sloppy delivery is just as strange, funny, and unpredictable here as it is on TV. Many of the voices are done by Roiland himself (you’ll recognize most of them, as Trover and Glorkon sound suspiciously close to Morty and Rick, respectively) and they have a casually delivered quality that is extremely welcome in the video game world where voice acting can too frequently feel stunted and stiff.Trover Saves the Universe had me cracking up the entire time, and I’d often just stop and listen to the reams of extra dialogue characters would continue to ramble off long after I could have walked away. Some adjustments to aid readability from a distance would be greatly appreciated, especially when the dynamic resolution can affect the text at times in handheld mode.Trover Saves the Universe is a surprisingly fun little game. That last point is my biggest complaint with the writing (or lack thereof): Roiland’s comedy style is like drunken boxing in that its wild unpredictability is the key to making you laugh – but during the moments in which it gets a little too “drunk” and goes off the rails, it always falls back on pointless profanity without landing an effective hit.To be clear, I don’t have a problem with the potty mouth (though there is a censored mode if you do) and a lot of the profane nonsense here adds to its hilarity. Mature Humor,
I'm hoping for a Rick and Morty game in something of a similar vein but more shooty shooty and vibrant worlds like in the show.Do I have to have a really high IQ to enjoy this game?I find it odd that someone would complain about a game or show if they know it's not to their taste...just remember, there are better uses of your time folks!People who don't like Rick and Morty are simply not intelligent enough to understand it. ... Pc, Nintendo Switch, ... Trover Saves the Universe Review.
""Rick and Morty" and "hilarious" should never be in the same sentence.Looks like if you have PSVR then that’s the version you should go for. Combat was always amusing, but these later fights made me wish the whole game had their creativity.It took me around four or five hours to beat the campaign, which is shorter than I was hoping. Thankfully, Trover Saves the Universe doesn’t rely on making you laugh alone. Rough spots like this keep the story closer to Rick and Morty’s slightly less successful second Interdimensional Cable episode than any of the show’s more thoughtfully structured arcs: Still amusing overall, but not the best of what this madcap style can do.Thankfully, Trover Saves the Universe doesn’t rely on making you laugh alone. Combat was always amusing, but these later fights made me wish the whole game had their creativity.It took me around four or five hours to beat the campaign, which is shorter than I was hoping. Their hiding spots make great use of the chair height mechanic and teleport nodes too, with Power Babies hidden in corners you can only see from certain heights or viewing angles.Trover Saves the Universe is a short and sweet VR platformer wrapped in one of the most ridiculous video game stories you’ll ever see.
That said, a big portion of the enjoyment comes from whether or not you enjoy the humor.It was surprising how fun the gameplay was, but I'm not sure how well it would translate. Alongside co-creating one of the funniest shows of last decade, Justin also runs an indie studio called Squanch Games with the help from Tanya Watson-Jessen who was the executive producer at Epic Games and worked on Fortnite. If you're a Rick and Morty fan it's definitely worth your time, even without VR, since it sounds like the implementation didn't ruin it.
The most impressive thing about Trover Saves the Universe is the fact that it has no regard for the social taboo that can often restrict comedy. Justin Clark played through Trover Saves the Universe twice: once in VR, once in 2D. Beneath the insane plot and ridiculous conversations is one of the better VR platformers I’ve played.
