DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles is an enjoyable interactive VR experience set in the universe of the Netflix series. The voice actors and animation are the best part of the game but it falls rather flat in terms of gameplay, plot and length. The story is incredibly generic with the only unique part being a mysterious alien device that infects the lions and castle. The only point of this however is to add a series of minigames and it is ultimately pretty pointless. Flying the blue lion is also not a very enjoyable experience; it's like playing a very boring rail shooter with no real challenge; it gives you no real freedom which is a shame as I was hoping for some epic space battles like in the show. The only really enjoyable part of the game comes at the end; in which there is a rather fun but short boss fight that gives you strafing controls for the lion, making it a lot more engaging than the rest of the game.

The biggest letdown in this experience was the length, it takes less than an hour to fully complete and has no extras or real replayability value; you can just start over and experience it from the beggining again. For some VR titles this would be ok but in order to make it work you need a lot more interactivity to pull you back into the experience. Voltron is just too linear and gives the player no freedom which is a shame. It would be so much fun to have been given the option to explore the castle of lions or even just the paladins rooms. I did enjoy the very end of the game, when the paladins finally manage to form Voltron; but sadly it takes place in a very short cinematic in which you have no control.

Overall I really wanted to make this a positive recommendation, but I just feel there's not enough to DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles to warrant the price. If it were a free to play experience I would hands down reccomend it but as it stands it is in no way worth it as of now.

In short DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles (Although it should probably just be Chronicle since it's a single short adventure) is a decent experience that you can clearly tell a lot of love was put into by the creators of the show; it is held back by it's length, price tag, linear story, mostly uninspiring gameplay and lack of replayability.

Vrepit Sa.

PROS:
-The visuals, while slighly unimpressive in screenshots, really capture the look and feel of the show when you are standing in the middle of it.
-The ANIMATION! For a tie-in low budget game, the animation was particularly impressive. The character's movements and facial expressions were all very well done and a ton of fun to watch.
-Being in the cockpit of the blue lion is just awesome.
-The game is fully voice acted by the cast of the show. They do a great job as usual.

CONS:
-It is very short, just barely an hour long from start to finish.
-The gameplay is just too easy. I was playing very sloppily and I still made it through without encountering a failstate
-Flying the lion is reistricted to a predetermined path with limited movement. Some sort of free flying mode is sorely missed oppourtunity.
-The scaling in the cutscenes with the characters was really inconsistant. The villain's height seemed to fluctuate with each cutscene, and Allura and Coran looked tiny. It really breaks the immersion factor when you are standing next to the hero's and villains and they are comically short.

Gameplay consist mainly of watching cutscenes, solving simplistic puzzles, and simple flying and shooting mechanics. Be warned that some of the cutscenes involve a lot of camera movement, so those sensative to motion sickness may get a bit dizzy. I know I was by the end of it.

If you are a fan of this show, as I am, then you will have no regrets buying this game. Kids will also have a great time if you want to pick it up for them. I wouldn't go buying a VR headset just for this game though.

Other than that, there really isn't any reason to it. This game was entirely meant to entertain fans of the show, and was very clearly targeted towards children. There is nothing particularly innovative or unique outside getting to experience the show in VR.

You don't get to play as Voltron

More of a theme park ride than a traditional video game, I thoroughly enjoyed the short time spent zooming around the universe, piloting in the Blue Lion.

Combat is easy, puzzles are simple, storyline basic, but it's the VR interactivity and immersive perspective which elevate the game into an experience.

Being not much of a Voltron adherent (classic or recent), I enjoyed the characters and world enough to be left wanting more upon completion - which seemed to be an intentional design decision - yet I wouldn't hesitate to play a sequel.

If you've played Vader Immortal, Voltron has a similar structure and overall feel (although Vader is the superior game, being one of my all-time favourite VR titles).

Let me start off with saying the graphics in this game are amazing. I like that the characters are cartoons but the environment is not cartoony. The puzzles are fun, they aren't too easy nor too difficult. It's basically an episode of Voltron with the interactions being puzzles in between cinematics. I've never watched the new Voltron show, but I did watch the original Voltron when I was a kid. This game is definitely worth buying.

User Olipie is very succinct as to why this game is disapointing and not recommendable, I couldn't really add anything more useful and I recommend anyone thinking about buying this game to read that review.

I got this for 50% off and for that price it is worth it. I'm sure I'll be loading this up for people new to VR often.

I do not write reviews.. Can never be bothered.. However, for this game I have to make an exception.

If you love the netflix series - Buy this game NOW!
You will only get about an hour of gameplay, but it is so well done and it provides an insight of what animated series could become!

As the developer mentioned in a reply to Olipie's review, this is a casual narrative cinematic experience. Having read that and Olipie's review, I feel I went into this experience with the right mindset that allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. It lasts about 1 hour and it felt very much like an episode of a TV show (note, I have not seen the Netflix series). I found the experience to be exactly how I would want to experience TV through VR. As other reviewers have mentioned about the price, $10 is a bit on the expensive side for a single episode of a TV show, even if it is somewhat interactive, but I'm happy to spend the money if it will encourage similar future content (of any title/series) from this developer or others.
