Red Matter is a story-driven VR puzzle adventure game set during a dystopian Sci-Fi Cold War. Take on the role of Agent Epsilon, an astronaut of the Atlantic Union dispatched to an abandoned Volgravian base on Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons. Your mission: to investigate a shady top secret research project. Solve puzzles in a beautiful, high-detail brutalist environment which only becomes more and more surreal as the story progresses. Use an array of hi-tech tools to decipher hidden messages and mechanisms and uncover ever deeper and darker secrets of the facility. But beware of what you may find… Once you discover the truth, will you be able to stomach it?

This has been an interesting little VR experience so far. I’m really liking the story and the puzzles. The puzzles aren’t extremely challenging. They’re just enough to make you think a bit, but not so much to make you need to google the solutions.
Graphics and performance are excellent. Texture work is impeccable. It seems well optimized, and it’s always refreshing to have a game work the way it is supposed to. It is crazy to me that smaller dev teams can manage to push out a game that just runs well, yet AAA devs struggle with that concept.
Whereas I’m really enjoying what I have played so far, from what I hear, it’s not a particularly long game. And it makes sense. Playing it, I can just feel that the gameplay wouldn’t translate well to some 10 hour game or something. Having said that, I bought it on sale and probably wouldn’t purchase this for for its full price of $25. But for $12.50 I think it’s well worth it!

A VR reference title
Works fine with PSVR2
Low-Medium Cyber Sickness Level
I've recently learned that there's a PC Adapter for PSVR2 on PC since August and gave it a try. Having RM2 on PS5, I've decided to buy RM1 for PC (on discount atm) and test the PS5 VR headset with it.
Controls are intuitive and the game offers a great variety of interactions and fun ideas (like the translator or the AI communicating with printed cards) and I'm having a blast with the OLED screen of the PSVR2.
As for causing Cyber Sickness, I'd rate the game low to medium (if running smoothly). I prefer the jetpack movement over teleports many other VR puzzle games offer. The slow default walking speed does help too.
To me Red Matter 1 & 2 are must-have VR titles and a good entries to VR too.

Excellent VR sci-fi game, worked well with my HP Reverb G2. Graphics, environments and gameplay is very good, puzzles are well balanced with increasing difficulty although not super challenging. I enjoyed it so much that I really wished it was longer, but nevertheless I definitely recommend this game!

Good game with balanced, in terms of difficulty, puzzles. You probably will be able to manage all or almost all of them by yourself without the need to google solutions. Graphics is descent, story - interesting enough.
The only negative part - motion is too slow, you are walking like a turtle, and flying is just slightly better. Also game physics is very clunky.

Decent puzzle game, but very short (2.5 hours) for the asking price, so I'd only recommend this on a sale.
Nitpick: The flashlight is really weird and pointless in the game, you have to hold the trigger for max brightness. It replacing your left hand tool also makes it that much more annoying to use. Should've been on/off toggle on the right hand.
The game does not use the grip button at all, so interacting with stuff is kinda annoying at times, but definitely not an issue.

Played on Quest 3 wireless with Meta Quest Air Link on Windows 10.
The game has been in my library since 2019 and after playing it, I should have played it much sooner. The VR interactions are well thought out and easy to understand. The graphics are really good (way better than some modern games) and the sound is atmospheric too. The puzzles are nice and not too challenging (including the safe combination, which was a simple logical puzzle, even if some people have trouble with it).
I liked the simple story and the ending.
The game time is about 3 hours and in that time I really enjoyed walking through the underground areas and exploring the story and the fate of the characters.

It's a very good VR game but not as good as you'd expect it to be after all the feedback I read.
The achievements are easy to get and you can get them all in the first playthrough if you're paying attention.
I'd say that the game is a tad creepy at times. The controls feel a bit wonky, but not to the point that it annoys you. It's fine, but could be better.
The puzzles are okay too.
I liked the game, but it won't go to the "one of the best games I played" shelf.
