Transference Reviews
Transference presents a unique premise and some interesting ideas but ultimately falls a short in realizing their potential. That said, it’s worth checking out in VR for its captivating audiovisual experience.
If you have an extra 25$, you can choose to spend it on a short trip to the world of Transference, though a few exciting and maybe scary moments aside, your trip might not be as good as you have imagined.

Creativity is above everything in gaming industry and can cover many issues in games. Most of the time that Ubisoft brought us a smaller game (compared to its huge blockbusters), it has been a good game with creativity, like Grow Home, Valiant Hearts and now, Transference. Without a doubt, Transference is one of the best VR games that has created and even without VR it is still a deep experience that emotionally and mentally challenges you to tell you an amazing story. beside wonderful story, also art style, colors, puzzles, and music are very beautiful. Sound is everything in this game and developers use this element in best way that is possible in a game. despite of some issues in gameplay mechanics, Transference is a piece of art that takes you to the depth of its complex story to experience pure mental fear.

Transference is a great game to experience in VR, but outside of that fails to leave you with any sort of lasting impression.

Halfway between graphic adventure and walking simulator (but with the plus of VR), Transference is not a game for everyone, but its atmosphere is priceless.

Transference is an experience fit for VR, and from that perspective, the game does a phenomenal job of providing tension, scares, and narrative beats. Those looking for value may feel a little short-changed, especially so without the implementation of virtual reality, but the overall package should leave you satisfied if horror and terror is your forte.
Transference certainly showcases the potential of VR storytelling in the style Spectrevision are attempting. Even if its short story isn't always effectively told, and some of the puzzles distract, the atmosphere that's been created through detailed world design, incredible lighting effects, and intense sound design makes for a terrifying experience.
Transference is a particular piece but, besides its lack of content and its abrupt final, it also is an interesting experience. With a compelling story, great sense of atmosphere and astonishing graphics, we recommend it to everyone who likes titles that go beyond being just a videogame.

Transference stars well, but in the end, fails to deliver a good story or gameplay. but despite all these problems, the game has a great atmosphere and offers a touching horror experience which is hard to forget even after finishing the game.

Transference won't leave you with anything to remember it with, the story isn't thrilling at all and the experience is too short with very obvious puzzles.

Dangerously overpriced surrealist horror.

Transference is a story about obsession and the lengths someone will go to preserve the very thing they've destroyed. Here's our review.
Though this sinewy psychological thriller may prove both disappointingly brief and overtly obtuse for some headset owners, as an exercise in pure, distilled atmosphere, it's one of PSVR's most bracingly effective offerings so far in 2018.
The environments are scaled well and comfortable to move through using the standard quarter-turn method or by spinning in place in an office chair. In that regard, the technology behind Transference is a triumph.
The challenge of Transference's puzzles tapers off, and there's little subtlety when it comes to certain themes, but great use of some grim audio make this a decent little horror game.
Transference offers a unique experience. If it scares away with now known gimmicks, its unhealthy atmosphere, exploded storytelling and the imagination left to the player as well as the meta aspect of browsing a faulty software in a video game make it a unique and successful experience.

Transference is a genuinely terrifying and atmospheric virtual reality horror game from Ubisoft, but it has some issues that keep it from reaching its full potential.
Transference doesn't have intense combat or elaborate bosses. Instead, the adventure is about the experience of being in an unknown world that feels wrong. This uncomfortable tone of fragmented memories, environments, and many jump scares to create a surreal horror experience. For so much Transference does well it length and expensive price tag will bother a lot of gamers.
Transference is an ambitious experience that feels a little bit late to the party. It has an interesting premise and an atmospheric, well realised world brought to life with gusto, especially if playing in virtual reality. But despite all of this, it never truly transcends the slew of similar games that came before it and is over much too quickly.
