Wayward Sky's story is a nice and simple affair and it does a good job introducing people to VR and using it in creative ways. Yet finicky controls, short running time, and general ease keeps the game from soaring.

The low price point mixed with the solid game play makes this a must play title
Wayward Sky would be a fun game as a "normal" puzzle-'em-up, but the sheer sense of scale and winning use of PlayStation VR elevates it to another level. With a nicely designed sky fortress which is easy to explore and lots of puzzles to solve, this is a great beginners VR game.
Anyone looking for a simple game to introduce their children to virtual reality with may find Wayward Sky a good choice.
Wayward Sky is a brilliant title, with some innovative ideas and a peculiar design. It is an adventure with a soft pace, all based on not too elaborate environmental puzzles. Yet, Wayward Sky plays in an fervent way with the sense of scale and the perspective deceptions of Virtual Reality.
