Haven’t used oculus in awhile and when I try to open Daedalus I get the above message. Right now none of the apps will open fully, they’ll start then disappear.

Daedalus is a platformer and an exploration game set in a spectacular oneiric and surrealist world.
Daedalus, architect and creator of fantastic mechanical artifacts, was imprisoned by the king Minos to prevent him from sharing his knowledge of Creta’s Labyrinth with others Every night, in his dreams, Daedalus explores the intricate labyrinths aboard his own winged creations, trying to relive every step, each leap, each flight to freedom, attempting to escape his own tragedy.
Help him find the 3 platforms that open the gate of each level and explore the mysterious environments derived from a dream. As the levels progress, the difficulty rises and the architecture grows more and more perplexing. Boost yourself, glide, take advantage of the wind columns, make use of trampolines and activate mechanisms that pour new platforms at your feet to reach your objective. Will Daedalus escape his own prison?

I was put off at first by the pictures of the game world and this not among the first I bought for my Go. This was a mistake the textures, colours and movement are all amazing. My only disappointment was the ending which I found to be rather an anti-climax. A view of the outside world, some visual effect would have served round things off rather than the abrupt finish, but this is a very minor complaint as this is certainly one of the best experiences available on the Go.

It's an extremely pleasant game that you will probably enjoy (turning chair almost a must though), but there are three problems: 1. There is no story. 2. There are no puzzles. 3. It's short. Well, the last one's is to be expected, considering this is basically a "phone" game for 5 Euros. Plus, it's longer than the likes of Land's End (there are 4 levels, 5 stages each). Now, regarding the story, there's one paragraph of text that you can read in the main menu under "Story" and another that gets displayed after finishing the last level. That text has nothing to do with what's happening on screen. There are also no hints whatsoever during the game to the "story". On PC, there are "storyless" games that have ten times more narrative punch than this one with a "story" could ever dream of having. Even Land's End on the Go, which has no written story, is much more cohesive and interesting as you can come up with some sort of narrative yourself. Here, you are given some dumb excerpt from the Greek mythology that just does not make any sense.. I'm sure the game would be better of without it. Speaking of puzzles, to be fair, the game didn't promise them. But some reviewers clearly do mention puzzling. There is NONE. You just jump from platform to platform. Several times during the game you will have to look for the next platform to jump on, but this is it. The challenge is very mild. It's not bad, the game can be played by pretty much anybody, independent of their previous experience, but If you're PC platformer gamer, you will finish this with maybe "dying" once or twice, and mostly out of curiosity. In that case, you can only hope that the VR effect will outweigh the linear gameplay and lack of challenge. Overall, it reminds me of the mid nineties PC games, when anything in 3D, un-resembling real life, and in first person perspective was, like, "Wow!". But it's 2019. So if it was a regular PC game, I'd give it 1.5 stars, but as it's on the Go, 3 stars it is.

I hope they expand this game or make a sequel. It is still the most comfortable satisfying easy-to-control game I've played on the Oculus Go. The mazes are beautiful I can't get enough of the flying/gliding movement mechanics. Why do flying games always seem to get part wrong? Anyways it's a very relaxing game—sort of a physics puzzle game I guess? But it feels more like an adventure game. Anyways, it's my favorite.

It’s difficult to find truly unique and mesmerizing experiences in any medium, and VR is no exception. Don’t get me wrong, there are some excellent first-person shooters and horror-themed games for the Oculus Go, but you more or less know what you’re getting. With this title, you are transported to a place unlike anywhere you’ve been or anything you can imagine. I love the mystery: is it the future? Another planet? Aliens? Another dimension? You’re left wondering even though there’s a minor backstory. The graphics are so imaginative, surreal, and slightly spooky. The gameplay is tranquil, exhilarating, and nerve-wracking all at the same time. I tip my hat to the developers for a truly unforgettable experience. My highest recommendation!
