    For some reason a ton of people are upset over this game not being in first person, which is a stupid suggestion honestly. The entire point of the original (flat) version of the game is that trying to control your character is difficult. Doing basic things like picking something up and placing it somewhere else can quickly fold into complete chaos. This VR port aims to simulate that by having it play in 3rd person, …

    I was really hoping the 3rd person option was only that, AN OPTION. it is the entire "immersive" experience. I thought surely i just didnt see the option to make it first person. even in the setting you can only set the camera so close. it feels like youre controlling a puppet.

    It's in 3rd person. It makes the controlls even harder and playing in VR makes it no different than playing the game normally. The only difference is that it gives you a headache. Also it's the same maps as in Human Fall Flat, so this option is worthless.

    I understand why its not true VR due to the physics involved but they could have tried to make it a better experience in regards to everything else. It's not cross compatible, first-person VR is only available through a beta version, and the menu is rough to navigage, especially if you're adjusting camera settings. I wouldn't suggest buying this until they add crossplay. Then it's worth playing, even if only in third-person mode. Hasn't been updated since December '24. DOA.

    It feels horrible in 3rd person. It feels less immersive and just makes it worse. If there was a first person option then I'd most likely like it. I'd recommend refund this and just buy the actual version that doesn't require VR. The hands aren't accurate to where your controllers are so it just makes it horrible and harder.

    1:1 VR port of the original game, can't complain here. It's important to highlight it's 3rd person game where you control the character like a puppet master. Just like the flatscreen game, and that's the point. Having wonky controls and physics is the core of the game. It's not a 1st person game. Sadly, there's no crossplay with flat screen version.

    This game is good but it could be a lot better. It has good performance and good controls, but they can get really annoying sometimes. Long jumps that i can do easily in the normal game are really tricky, it feels seems like i cant jump as far in this game, and it feels like there is some delay. So far i am quite dissapointed but i hope they will be improving this game. It really needs a first person mode. If you like Human Fall Flat then i recommend testing this game.

    VR Port: Fall Flat As a mod this is interesting. Options that do not work, most level transitions seem to neither work for me or my friends. And no first person mode. A DLC for the base game which costs a few bucks and I wouldn't have minded.

    EDIT: Bought the game again, and now it works, and I tested the first 4-5 levels. The idea of the game is sound - but the controls and graphics are terrible. The poly levels look like made not even for the low-end Quest 2 phone gpu, but for the ultra-low-end Quest 1 phone gpu. Graphics simply are too poor and kill immersion. With proper graphics and much better controls, there could be a great game made using the same concept. I will be refunding again, sadly, I'm not going to play and…

I have played HFF for 85 hours now and I wanted to get this game because it was only 5 dollars, I was interested in playing this game in VR, and I sure do eat up different versions of HFF. But this game did not sit well with me. Unlike normal HFF, I feel less control of my character.

    I'm so glad this VR port exists. At first, I was skeptical of the third-person VR implementation: "Oh it misses the entire point of VR!" But when I tried, it felt entirely novel and unique in a very good way! It does not feel like I am the human, however, maybe it doesn't have to. Puppeting the human in front of me is super fun! Running, jumping, grabbing a rope and swinging off it feels incredibly entertaining in an entirely different and new way. The only downsides I have have been…

    I don't know what folks are complaining about. This is a interesting and unique game for VR. It is physics based platfformer game. Instead of collecting coins, you are using physics to move things around with your motion controllers acting as arms and hands in a puppet master mode with adjustable camera in options for height and distance You act as a puppet master for a sack of wet noodles shaped like a person. Its funny Its cute Its cheap Its unique for VR

    This game definitely however currently this is not worth is. Its done in a 3rd person perspective much like the original game but as a vr version, not at all. When finishing a level, you dont move to the next and when played on quest (atleast for me) you use the triggers to grip and interact with the surrounding area instead of using the actual grip triggers. Also for the price of £9.99, this really should have just been a dlc to the base game. I truly beleive if the developers atleast add an…

I didn't think the third person camera would be that bad, and its not, but I would have preferred a first person view even if its a bit more janky. Even an optional toggle for it would have been appreciated. The best workaround I could find was setting the camera to be close and turning off camera collision.

    This is the best way to play human fall flat. Ignore everyone saying it's bad cause there's no first person, it would suck if there was. The whole point of the game is for movement to be hard and goofy, first person would just make everything easy and boring. Something worth mentioning is this might not be worth it if you've already played the non-VR version since everything is still the same, and there's no cross play with the normal version at the time of writing so if you plan to play with…

    Currently Can't recommend this game due to the lack of one key feature: First Person Online Multiplayer. I've been wanting to play with a friend for quite a while now but playing in 3rd person just doesnt feel right for me and sadly there is still no way to play together with friends online in the experimental 1st person mode. Otherwise it's the same as the base game, funny physics based puzzles and lovely world building.
