Floor Plan 2, developed by Turbo Button, is a unique comedic adventure game that draws inspiration from escape rooms, featuring a plethora of brain-teasing puzzles, all contained within an elevator. Your adventure starts on your first day of work, where you’re tasked with finding a lost treasure somewhere within the building, a find that could potentially save the company. The catch? Each floor you visit via the elevator serves as a portal to an entirely different world, filled with eccentric characters and a language you can’t comprehend. Additionally, the concept of time and space is rather unpredictable. The game, designed specifically for VR, boasts over 6 hours of meticulously designed gameplay, and allows players to revisit completed puzzles for new challenges. Good luck on your wacky journey!
Should I play Floor Plan 2 in 2024?
The good
“Floor Plan 2” has garnered a lot of love for its quirky, fun puzzle gameplay. Many users appreciate that it improves on the original in numerous ways, especially with its charming characters, witty humor, and engaging puzzles. It’s also noted for its good production values, interesting art style, and smooth performance—even on older VR setups.
The game’s multiple save files feature is a hit among players who share their VR setups, eliminating conflicts and allowing different users to play separately. Additionally, the game has been praised for allowing for both standing and seated play, with rotational options and a “giant mode” that makes reaching items easier.
For those who favor a more light-hearted atmosphere, Floor Plan 2’s playful character and whimsical style make it a delightful experience. The puzzles are enjoyable, with some straightforward and others devious enough to keep you engaged. Bonus modes and collectibles like “fart hands” add replayability.
The bad
However, the game has received criticism for its locomotion mechanics. Users have reported issues with the teleport-only movement system, which has caused frustration, particularly with getting stuck in walls or having to walk around in the real world to adjust their position. This could be dangerous and detracts from the overall experience for some players.
There are also complaints about the game not supporting certain VR controllers and headsets, notably the Vive Cosmos controllers. This incompatibility has left some players unable to progress past the initial screens. Additionally, some users found the graphics to be simplistic and more akin to mobile VR standards, which was seen as a letdown for a PCVR game. Lastly, a few players found certain puzzles to be overly complex or reliant on “moon logic.”
Verdict
Should you still buy or play this game in 2024? Absolutely! 🎮 Despite some issues with locomotion and VR compatibility, the overall charm, humor, and engaging puzzles of “Floor Plan 2” make it a standout title in the VR puzzle genre. If you can overlook or adapt to the movement mechanics and have a compatible VR setup, it promises a delightfully quirky adventure worth your time. Whether you’re a fan of the first game or new to the series, Floor Plan 2 offers enough fun and innovation to be a worthy addition to your VR library. 🌟
