00:00Taskmaster VR. This game sounded appealing to me when I first heard of it, then once
00:20it got released I literally spent 10 hours watching the series on YouTube. I couldn't
00:25believe I haven't seen this series before. It had so many of my favourite comedians and
00:31presenters on it, but I put it down to living in Japan and not being up to date on the UK
00:37television programmes. So anyway, I was excited to finally play this. Now my first impressions
00:44were not that great. I feel like it could look a lot better in the graphics. Whilst
00:50it's not the worst, there is certainly room for a lot of improvements. I'm glad I watched
00:57the television show first because it certainly gave me a better understanding of how this
01:02game show works, so not to take anything too serious as there might be shortcuts, hidden
01:09clues or just ways to work around some of the tasks. So there are basically 15 tasks
01:17split into 5 episodes of 3 tasks in each. The tasks are not bad, a bit hit and miss,
01:25half decent, half could be improved. The problem solving is true to the show and will require
01:32some thought on most of them. In each episode you will do 2 tasks in the house or garden
01:39and then one in the studio. The set is very true to the show. It looks great and is instantly
01:50recognisable. I wish though there was a button you can press to have the option to skip the
01:56dialogue. The game gives approximately 2.5 hours of gameplay and longer if you want to
02:06beat your scores. You do have the option to go back and play any task you want once
02:12you have completed them. There are also mini-tasks you can do. I assume these must unlock as
02:19you get certain scores in challenge tasks. The controls are very simple to learn, though
02:26the mechanics need much improvement, especially when trying to throw objects or pick up objects
02:33and handle them. The menus are also very simple and clear to understand. I really wanted
02:40to love this game but I just can't. I've played through it once and I just don't feel a sense
02:47of wanting to return to it. If you are a fan of this show you are going to appreciate the
02:54set and some of the tasks, but you are going to be felt let down, like something is missing.
03:01The mistake I think they have made in making this is it being a solo player game where
03:07it really needed to be a competitive game. It needed to be a multiplayer game so you
03:14could either play and compete against your friends or online against other players. If
03:20you can pick this game up for a few dollars then go for it, but I would say for now give
03:26it a lot more time for updates to fix and improve some things hopefully. So I score
03:34Taskmasters VR a 17 out of 25. You can find my scoring system in the description section
