Without the need for a tutorial, you can jump into this game and have a solid idea of what it is you were expected to do, but the game manages to tell you hints and tips to get better at the game, without forcing you through a fully-fledged tutorial.</ins></div></td></tr>

To make things easy, these pieces snap to the already placed pipe, but when you wish to change the orientation of the yet-to-be snapped piece can be quite difficult. Quite possibly the only consistent way of solving the problem is by contorting your wrist in an inhuman fashion and unless you’re a superhero, it isn’t all that reasonable to expect that.</ins></div></td></tr>

You could impose some challenges on yourself to use as little or as many pipes as you can to succeed, but on a fair amount of the levels they give you the exact amount to complete the level; leading to not much variety by the end of the game, and that puts a damper on the overall experience knowing that once I’ve finished it, going back to it is rather frivolous.</ins></div></td></tr>

Of all of the puzzle games to have recently come out for VR headsets, I can quite confidently say Water Bears VR is one of the better ones.</ins></div></td></tr>
