Transference Reviews
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.

All said and done Transference is a wonderfully executed, narrative, puzzle thriller that kept me entertained through the entire story.
Ultimately, Transference weaves an effective, but grim tale of one man's descent into the madness and the horrific fate that he has sealed for his family. The puzzles aren't particularly challenging, but their difficulty works well within the pacing of the story, engaging your brain enough without dragging the story to a halt. Its claims of 'bridging the gap between games and movies' fall flat, but if you can stomach the hefty price tag, Transference is a worthwhile addition to the narrative-driven puzzle game genre.
Transference is a very successful adventure project without any revelations, but with a good VR adaptation. If you plan to play a story of a mad professor in the usual way without the VR headset, then you can deduct one point from our score.

Transference is an extremely interesting experiment and it succeeds in mixing the movie and videogame components. The use of audio will keep you on the edge, and a few jump scare work very well. However, the constant feeling of tension ends up holding the narrative back, as a greater variety of emotions would have benefitted the overall experience. Transference is remarkably short for a videogame, which might disappoint many players.

Singularly short, but also singularly intense. Narrative of high flights with gameplay at height. It is recommended to play in one sitting.

Plucking inspiration from several unsettling sources of entertainment, Transference delivers a creepy, cerebral virtual reality tour through a broken family dynamic that is unimpeded by taxing puzzles and relishes in immersing players in haunted house of tragedy.
Transference is a story about obsession and the lengths someone will go to preserve the very thing they've destroyed. Here's our review.
Transference combines a fantastic story with great acting and smart puzzles for an experience that manages to really stand out from the crowd.
Film company SpectreVision dips their peanut butter into Ubisoft's videogame chocolate, and the two great tastes taste great together (in a horrible, family-murdering sort of way). While some might balk at the shorter length of Transference, I found the experience to be spot-on, particularly while played experienced in the very high-end VR. With a unique take on “walking simulator” mechanics and some fun (and not overly difficult) puzzles, Transference feels like an afternoon well-spent. Just be ready for some dark, adult themes. They don't call mad scientists ‘mad' for nothing, and Transference has one doozy of a mad scientist.
A game that proves what VR is capable of achieving... despite it's still a great game played as a traditional game.

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.
