What players say

Players are split on The Tale of Onogoro. A minority adores it as a rare VR Japanese-style adventure, but many find it ruined by an annoying companion who dictates the slow pacing and by repetitive boss fights. The cutscenes can be skipped, which helps, but the puzzles are simple and the boss gauntlet late in the game frustrates even fans.
