Pop-Up Pilgrims
SCORE: 63
I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download
code for Pop-Up Pilgrims on the PS4 VR. This is a 2D side scrolling
video game that reminds me of Lemmings. We have villagers that must be
guided to the end spot. How do we guide them? A floating false god does
the work. Guess what role the player takes on in Pop-Up Pilgrims? The
floating false god.
Pop-Up Pilgrims looks nice in Virtual Reality. The game does have indie
graphics. It is interesting to see the wrap around effect in Pop-Up
Pilgrims though. I ran into some issues with the controls in Pop-Up
Pilgrims. There are multiple 2D planes in this game. Swapping from one
to another was frustrating at times. I never could adapt to that very
well. I would get stuck on one flat 2D plane and struggle to swap to
another one. The tutorial was the worst.
The Eastern flavor music in Pop-Up Pilgrims is neat to listen to. If you
do not like that style of music then you will disagree with my high
score. I found Pop-Up Pilgrims to be simple and easy. It is like a lot
of the PS4 VR video games in that regard. In a lot of ways Pop-Up
Pilgrims felt very shallow to me. Waiting for the villagers to move back
around because I did not jump them in time was so boring.
If you let a villager die then their spirit will rise from the death
spot up the screen. We can make the villagers jump short distances and
long distances based on how we line up the puffs of clouds. I love being
able to use a normal PS4 controller with Pop-Up Pilgrims. I wish more VR
games included that game play mechanic. I understand the games that need
us to have two hands. It is just nice to use a controller at times.
Pop-Up Pilgrims is a downloadable only video game. I found no
information on a physical copy version of Pop-Up Pilgrims on the PS4 VR.
Pop-Up Pilgrims starts really easy and gets a bit more difficult later
on. I know plenty of people who will be immediately offended by the
false god content within Pop-Up Pilgrims. I wish the developer had been
more sensitive to the beliefs here in America.
