If you like puzzle games and you are looking for one in VR, this one might be interesting to you. I was wondering what could possibly be worth putting a puzzle game in VR, but since this involves a lot of 3D spatial thinking, putting it in VR is the best thing for it!
The basic premise is this: You have a pair of dots with the same color and you have to draw a line from one to the other. BUT you also have other color dot pairs to work with AND you can't cross the lines you've already drawn. Very early on it's quite simple and you start to wonder if there's ever going to be a challenge, but then they throw in 3 colors and now it starts to get interesting.
The game scores you based on how many moves you made vs how many moves you were SUPPOSED to make. I haven't seen any situations where you can make fewer moves than suggested but that's a possibility as the puzzles get more complex down the line.
My only complaint is kinda a complaint about the controls on the Index. When I first started the game, the tutorial was annoying because I was supposed to move my hands and draw a line, but every time I tried the whole puzzle moved. I almost couldn't do ANYTHING and was tempted to just skip the tutorial (in case it was bugged) but I kept after it and eventually figured it out. The problem was that the game uses the grip buttons (or gripping the controllers on Index) to indicate you want to move/manipulate the puzzle. The index apparently registers a "grip button press" to the game with very little hand pressure on the controllers and as I held it normally, it registered as me gripping the puzzle like I wanted to move it around in my hands.
Once I learned I had to totally relax my hand and let my trigger finger do all the work, then it was possible for me to move the controller without also moving the puzzle. It's a minor thing but a lot of games these days seem to not take index controller sensitivity into account.
Otherwise, the game is pretty chill and relaxed with no pressure other than "complete the level". The music is kinda soft and the scenery is ok so it could be considered a relaxing game. It's not generally my kind of puzzle game but if you enjoy puzzles that involve spatial thinking then you might enjoy this game.

This was a happy surprise! Bought it on a whim, and I absolutely loved it!
The game itself is a puzzle game, where you connect nodes by filling in lines, and connect colors. Cross every node and connect all colors and you clear the level! Easy to grasp, but has more depth than it first lets on.
Why I enjoyed it
A key factor, the puzzles can be logically reasoned out, pretty much all through-out the game, very satisfying and still reasonable challenging towards the end.
Due to the above, It was very rare that I actually had to restart a level, usually you can work with what you have done so far and keep going until you make it! 👍
I never really felt stuck, and it still lasted a long time! There are a lot of content, but then I've also perfected every level 🤣
Very nice accompanying music, chill and relaxing experience in general, fit for purpose environment and lovely colors when drawing the shapes 😙
The difficulty pacing is not a constant rise but there are some nice dips at the start of the different sections, which is a nice breather when doing lots of them in one go!
Gotchas
It's an OpenXR game, make sure to set your runtime in SteamVR if you haven't!
If the game is not connecting to SteamVR or reacting to tracking, make sure to have your controllers turned on before you launch the game!
That's pretty much it! Highly recommended, if you enjoy any kind of logical puzzles in VR, here you go 😁

A relaxing, seated, puzzle game that rewards your ability to find pathways through a tangle of lines in as few moves as possible. I completed the game in 5 hours and had a delightful time due to the calming scenery and music. I was so impressed with the experience I gifted it to some of my friends. The interface is minimal and intuitive, just like it should be. I plan on playing through multiple times.

Chill casual VR puzzle. Gameplay is simple yet addictive: you connect colored nodes on a graph in 3D space. Higher difficulty levels are somewhat challenging but not too hard

Without any exaggeration, this is the best stress-free puzzle game I've played in VR. The UI is very well-designed and simple to use. The visuals are beautiful and relaxing. A lot of thought and care has gone into the design of the mechanics and levels. And great music too.

Nice VR puzzle game! Works flawless with the HP Reverb G2 WMR headset. Very simple yet challenging game set within a nice environment. Can be played seated or standing without issue.

While you could say ‘Color Connect’ is little more than a dot to dot puzzle game it is a lot more challenging than that at least. The idea is you need to use lines to get one colour from point A to B, then the same thing with other colours. Sometimes you will have to draw backwards in able to go forwards and at times your brain will simply refuse to see the answer to the puzzle, even if it is a relatively simple one. To be fair it kept me amused for a good long while and with 50 puzzles I could easily see myself getting my money’s worth here. Sadly the very basic nature of the game might not be for everyone, but I personally enjoyed it (I just wish there was a hint system in place).
