Trove
Your dogs have been dognapped by a beaked lunatic named Glorkon who stuffed them into his eye holes and is using their life essence to destroy the universe. You're partnered with Trover, a little purple eye-hole monster who isn’t a huge fan of working or being put in the position of having to save the universe. He’s also not that big a fan of you quite frankly, and neither am I. (Jk, you’re great) Only you and Trover can save everything in this bizarre comedy adventure, created by Justin Roiland! A comedy adventure filled with combat, platforming, puzzles, and morally questionable choices. See how the best intentions can go horribly awry. You control Trover's movements, but not his mouth. He’s got a lot to say about what’s going on in the game. Travel the cosmos to experience a variety of weird alien planets and bizarre characters with big personalities. Upgrade Trover AND YOURSELF with new abilities to (hopefully) defeat Glorkon while evading awkward situations. You'll be immersed in weirdness, no matter which display you use — play on TV, monitor or VR headset displays.

This game feels like playing one of the shows from Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty.
If that sounds fun to you. Then enjoy the eye holes. If not then... shrugs

If you like Rick and Morty humor, this is a game you would likely enjoy. The actual gameplay is alright surprisingly, and unlike a lot of comedic games it isn't a buggy mess.
This game did not crash a single time, which is impressive with the current video game scene, and is fully playable with controller so you can just lie back and enjoy it.
For people struggling to open the game, force it out of VR mode. For some reason VR mode will cause it to crash randomly instead of starting even if you specifically select non-vr mode at startup. Just open properties and add this to the opening command field. "-novr"
Minor spoilers for if you haven't played or finished the game yet and would like to skip some tedium and really enjoy the game -
If I were to play it again, I would skip the collectables as they are kind of tedious, and aren't really linked to extra content aside from a single joke at the end. I probably spent double the time playing the game to get all of them for the joke at the end, and it was funny but wasn't worth it. If you are reading this and haven't completed the game to get the joke, I very strongly recommend looking up the joke in question to see it to save you almost 90% of the tedium in the game.
Also, the button puzzle in the first level is in fact, impossible. That is the joke. I spent maybe 20 minutes mapping all the possible combinations to figure this for sure, and some people online say it is possible but it's really just a joke. This is shown later in the game as well but I won't go into details to avoid ruining any jokes in advance.

I just finished High on Life 2 and decided to play through Trover again. Love this game. It made me laugh more than a few times and the gameplay is very easy to master. They should add sex though.

This game is filled with "omg, I can't believe they went there" and it's hilarious. The mechanics are pretty good and the VR is simple (put your headset while playing the game sitting down). Controller is pretty much required to play this. Some of the gameplay can get a bit... less exciting but it's fine. Game makes up for it in other departments.

My mother always says, "Bathtub Guy, shut up about real estate!" But I just keep on talking about it because it's a great investment if you want to make something out of your life. Another great investment? Ice cream on Sundays. TRUST. ME. Ice cream on Sundays will make you feel closer to God. TRUST. THAT. Because ice cream is sweet. You know, what else is sweet? Church. Church is very sweet.
I'm a Christian man, but I don't necessarily believe in Christianity, isn't that crazy? You know my mother certainly says it is, but I don't let that stop me from getting out and preaching half of the word. Now I'll grab a Bible, tear out half of it, and then live by that part of the Bible. Old Testament, New Testament, no clue! I just point to a page and I go. A lot of times that ends up being revelation, so I tell people "Hey, if it's the end of the world, might as well get into real estate."

I’m not into writing reviews, but this particular one deserves! This game is hilarious and soooooo much fun! There were times I just let the npcs keep talking to each other just to hear the insanities they were saying. I had a blast playing it. And I’m terribly sad that it’s over.
