Nintendo Labo VR Kit Reviews
Nintendo's Labo VR kit sees the Japanese gaming giant's foray into family-friendly virtual reality.
Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit is ingeniously designed. The synthesis of physical cardboard Toy-Con with commensurate digital software creates a tactile and fun virtual reality experience that feels decidedly Nintendo. However, once the initial magic of Labo VR wears off, all that is left is a shallow, oddly assembled lot of minigames that won't last more than an afternoon.
Neither gameplay nor contraptions are enough to save uneven, uncomfortable package.
Nintendo Labo VR is basic, but it’s immediately more fun than its expensive peers
At worst, you’ll spend a few hours having fun putting together some charming cardboard toys and seeing what parlor tricks your Nintendo Switch can do with them. At best, you’ll dive into one of the most inexpensive, yet engrossing, VR experiences out there.
Despite its limitations, inventive use of the Switch and Joy-Cons pave the way for a novel VR experience that's more about creativity.
A thoroughly enjoyable and surprisingly engrossing mix of VR, handicraft, and edutainment.
It won't stack up to high-end VR headsets, but Nintendo's Labo VR Kit is a surprisingly solid and in-depth introduction to the world of VR.
