Defunct Games reviews Elevator... to the Moon: Turbo Champion's Edition by ROCCAT Studios, available now on Nintendo Switch for $14.99.
While it may be a great escape room-style puzzle game in virtual reality, Elevator... to the Moon loses a lot of its charm on the Switch. It's an all-too-brief adventure with only four levels filled with simplistic puzzles. The quality writing and goofy scenarios aren't enough to make up for the stiff gameplay and repetitive environments. The elements that make this game fun in virtual reality end up working against this Switch port every step of the way, and it makes me fearful of future VR adaptations. This is not the way this game was intended to be played.
