While VR continues to wait for its killer app (hello, Half-Life: Alyx…maybe?), the inherently immersive platform has hosted plenty of wonderful and underrated games. 2018’s Budget Cuts was one of the most wonderful and most underrated; it cleverly mixed Portal, Job Simulator, and the classic Mike Judge film Office Space into a genuinely funny and engaging puzzle-solving stealth adventure. Thus, I was thrilled to sit down (and stand up, and crouch down) with Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency. And after an hour or so of play, I was not disappointed.
The sequel starts on a train, following the office-robot-overlord-overthrowing events of the first game. Adorable, harmless robot citizens sit in various seats in a handful of cars. A passenger here, a bartender there – and you need to get to the front of the train to disable a bomb. Naturally, the same army of aggressive, six-shooter-armed security droids will shoot on sight if they spot you. So you can warp your way through the cars using your trusty teleporter gun, or you can portal yourself up to the roof of the train.
