The Room VR: A Dark Matter | Oculus Quest Game Review

There's enough in The Room VR: A Dark Matter to reward fans of the series as a whole, whilst being utterly accessible if it's your first time in The Room.

For a moment I was fooled into thinking that Narrator's voice of this video was part of the trailer. One of the most atmospheric reviews Ive seen. Great work. I've subbed.

[@docvs.theworld7747]

Thank you very much!

[@Holy_Algorithm]

I absolutely agree! And i normally never ever post a comment anywhere. So i seem to really think this great review was worth beeing underlined again. :D

[@docvs.theworld7747]

@@Holy_Algorithm Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!

[@6DOFReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it! Doc does inject a certain gravitas :)

[@uploadtime1780]

I'll throw my vote in on this comment as well. Great voice for narration. Maybe get into to audible titles as well if you'd be inclined Doc.

[@MrHowlforever]

Dude. Subscribed. I came for a review and I got fucking Hemingway. That's a lot of effort for a review. Your writing is punctual, full of modesty for mechanics and not over washed by emotion or nostalgia for other games. I didn't hear use cheap comparisons to describe a game. You allowed the game to stand on its own and you be it's vessel. And you got one hell of a voice.

[@6DOFReviews]

That's incredibly kind of you to say, and I'm sure Doc will be very flattered! Sorry for taking so long to respond! We were quite busy when we published this review :) Hope you've also enjoyed our newer ones!

[@brenbar5736]

Holy crap what? How does this channel only have 3,000 subscribers??? I’d listen to any game review with this voice, definitely subscribing, hope this channel blows up!

[@6DOFReviews]

It's a mystery for the ages! But really, thanks for the kind comments, and much appreciate your wishes :)

[@computer__eyez]

whew.. when the people find out about this channel and its website... lots of subscribers.

[@justinmedina802]

I would love to hear a audio book with his voice.

[@6DOFReviews]

We'll be sure to let Doc know :) Who knows....!

[@lizzt76]

I just finished this game and absolutely LOVED it! I am brand new to VR...this is the first game I really started playing and couldn't stop!! I literally felt like I was there and even now after I've finished the game...I feel like I truly did visit these places. It's amazing!

Excellent Review, I've played all the Room games on my iPad, hope and wish it would come Vr and now it has

[@UngeRoed]

Awesome review! Subbed :) really well done.

[@6DOFReviews]

Much appreciated!

[@JDRos]

Your voice is so good I thought it's part of the game.

[@6DOFReviews]

Doc Neale does add a certain amount of magic to his reviews :) He's also a professional V/O artist!

[@nikzentertainmentnetwork5640]

With your voice you can narrate my life lol 😂 god your voice and narration is perfect x

[@6DOFReviews]

Doc should narrate everything ;)

This is maybe one of the best game reviews I've ever seen

[@6DOFReviews]

That's incredibly kind of you to say! Also now we hope we never disappoint you!

Thank you so much!

[@Stezzanz]

A jolly good spoiler free review! Well done.

[@6DOFReviews]

Thank you kindly!

[@diamonddog2040]

Well done sir, great review. You earned a sub :)

[@6DOFReviews]

Awesome, thank you! Much appreciated :)

[@Stiffybeaver]

Did you used to do "You Will Die" because you sound like the narrator of that channel. Gifted with a good voice my friend, good job using it and your videos are great, keep it up 👍🏻

[@6DOFReviews]

Doc does indeed have a great voice and fantastic delivery, and it's always a joy to edit his reviews! We're sure he'll be pleased to read your comment! Thanks for watching!

[@ReturnOfJackDawson]

Really an excellent review.

[@6DOFReviews]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@clivebarnard5412]

Excellent review of an excellent game. The only minor quibble with the review is that 1908 would be in the Edwardian rather than Victorian era.

[@docvs.theworld7747]

It's a fair cop! You're perfectly right. We'll put a disclaimer on the written review.

[@nordmende73]

Thanks a lot!

[@6DOFReviews]

You're welcome!

[@victorfaniba6243]

The only minor quibble with the review is that 1908 would be in the Edwardian rather than Victorian era. how long is the gameplay?

[@maggienewcombe1505]

Excellent review, game is good but dark as in brightness, no one seems to say that. I prefer the fireproof mobile games as I can see them but the VR is clever and more atmospheric, thanks for review 👍 😀 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@6DOFReviews]

Thanks and you’re welcome! And yeah, it’s a great game :)

[@diamondjoe100]

This game is amazing highly recommend 👍

[@ExclusiveAgent1]

how long is the gameplay?

[@vkobevk]

depend if you are fast or slow to resolve puzzle, fast=less than one hour

[@tonystasteofitaly1162]

Are there any jumpscares?

[@6DOFReviews]

Nope :)

[@tonystasteofitaly1162]

@@6DOFReviews THANK YOU! This is the first VR game I’ve ever played and that haunting music was getting *too real* - was worried I wouldn’t be able to continue. LOVE your channel btw! Have watched so many of these reviews, super helpful and concise

[@6DOFReviews]

@@tonystasteofitaly1162 Wow! Thank you :) That's incredibly kind of you to say! Really glad you're enjoying the game, it's one of our favorites :)

[@bobsterski06]

not even close to previous games .....

[@LeesReviews69]

I’m literally not buying it because they use teleportation. I want to walk around.

[@docvs.theworld7747]

I understand your frustration, but it really doesn't matter much after a few minutes.

[@6DOFReviews]

As a puzzler, the free motion would actually probably cause more confusion and frustration than anything else. There are certain gadgets and machines you need to play with and the game lets you quickly jump between the locations of those things. Otherwise, you’d spend needless hours fiddling (or trying to fiddle) with things that have absolutely nothing to do with the puzzles. It’s always good to have free locomotion as an option, but trust Doc on this :) It’s a great puzzler :)

[@vkobevk]

because we never walk in room game

[@FireinTheBowl]

Teleporting is fine in this one. In each room there are only 4 or 5 places you can go to so it doesn't matter
