Cave Crave
Critic Reviews for Cave Crave
To be honest, before installing the game, I wasn’t sure it would be my thing. I couldn’t see how the premise could make for an enjoyable experience. As a VR enthusiast, I really should have known better. This game simply wouldn’t work as well on a flatscreen. It thrives on atmosphere and immersing the player—things that just aren’t possible with a TV or computer monitor. But that’s exactly where VR shines. It’s a completely different medium and as such, needs developers to take risks on new ideas for gamers to experience something truly different and Cave Crave VR does that exceptionally well. I award Cave Crave the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Cave Crave earns an 8.0 out of 10: a finely tuned VR spelunking sim that nails atmosphere, tactile climbing, and authentic cave design. Its faithful recreations, satisfying physics‑first movement, and the new Arcade Mode deliver both contemplative exploration and high‑intensity runs. Difficulty spikes and limited seated/controller options hold it back from perfection, but steady updates and the promise of multiplayer make this a compelling pick for explorers, climbers, and speedrunners.
