![]() ![]() That leads you to be one of the most in-demand new kids in a school full of problems. When stress overtakes you, you gain a new power to adapt to and solve whatever’s causing the problem. Your bus crashes into the Creativity Wing, meteors are hitting the Grand Hall, and all sorts of electrical, plumbing, and fire incidents are breaking out around the school.įortunately, as a Prismi, your primary quality is adaptation. That said, the school is quite thoroughly automated and all of that automation seems to be failing right as you arrive. It’s a prestigious high school that accepts various species from around the galaxy to attend. Players take on the role of a being known as a Prismi as they get set to attend their first day at Cosmonious High. It ain’t easy being PrismiĬosmonious High feels like Owlchemy Labs’ most expanded approach to VR storytelling yet. Cosmonious High puts players in the role of a new kid in school… in space, with colorful aliens, everything breaking down frequently, and special powers with which to take your classes and fix it all! It’s a bright and cheerful romp and one of the few VR games I’d happily recommend to players of most ages. That said, its latest venture might be both its most ambitious and broadly appealing yet. ![]() Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator, and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality have all been increasingly good dives into what VR can do. Overall, the entire experience lasts around 5 hours, with a few more to be squeezed out by those determined to make every repair and to find every collectible, but those five hours are memorable, and few will find the time they spend in Cosmonious High wasted.Owlchemy Labs has been around the block a few times in regards to good virtual reality design. While there is no shortage of things to do, there is a significant lack of any real story to encourage you to continue messing around after you’ve completed all the available class assignments. Additionally, there are cards to collect and credits to earn from experiments scattered throughout the school. There is a grand hall where you can track the currently open classrooms, where to head next, what repairs still need completed, and more. Aside from your abilities, nearly everything is interactive, and half the fun comes from throwing everything you find and overall creating more havoc than repairs. Water powers can be used to put out fires, ice powers can fix electrical boxes or create ice sheets, crystals can be used to attach broken cables, you can shrink or enlarge objects, use powers to create mini tornadoes, and so much more. It’s all quite fun and easy, with the only challenge often being where to go next. Sure, there are a few specific tasks you must handle in a specific way, but more often the game allows you to go wild, creating a mess or pushing you to let your creativity shine. Cosmonious High is essentially a playground, and as such how you accomplish a goal is often left up to you to figure out. ![]() ![]() The variety is impressive and each task feels unique. You may find yourself creating formulas in chemistry, dyeing your water powers so you can haphazardly paint an entire room, shooting some hoops, or helping write love poems. Each course has a variety of assignments to complete, all of which are wildly varied and have you make great use of your newly obtained powers. The main thrust of the game is repairing the school while attending ridiculously named classes such as chemosophy. Each power you are imbued with can be used to help you navigate the halls of Cosmonious High, slowly piecing the school back together and unlocking new areas to explore. These powers range from being able to spray streams of water from your hands to being able to create crystals on the fly. You are Prismi, the first of your kind to attend the school, and you have the rare ability to obtain new powers. Unfortunately, the entire experience is over too quickly, and the story is never much more than a reason to mess around in VR.Ĭosmonious High begins with you crash landing in a school which is on the verge of falling apart – fires are everywhere, rooms are locked, pipes are burst, meteors are bursting through the windows, and students are scattered throughout the building in disarray – but imminent disaster is not a reason to cancel classes, so you must fight your way through the chaos, earning new powers in each classroom you visit which you can then use to help rebuild the school. It also helps that Cosmonious High is quite funny, filled with a diverse cast of characters with unique personalities, and makes great use of VR mechanics. There are no repercussions for your actions, you are given a multitude of fun powers to experiment with, and the game actively encourages you to create chaos. Cosmonious High is the perfect playground for those new to VR or looking for a game to blow off some steam. ![]()
