The gameplay of Unknown Pharaoh is centered around casual exploration and puzzle-solving within an ancient pyramid, but it suffers from a flawed arm-swinging movement mechanic that detracts from immersion and can lead to frustrating navigation challenges. Overall, while the game offers engaging mini puzzles, the control issues significantly impact the player experience.
- “Unknown Pharaoh is a casual adventure game that takes place in an ancient pyramid, which you explore as an archaeologist, with the gameplay focused on solving mini puzzles and avoiding traps that await as you progress through the game.”
- “As of the date of my gameplay video, I felt that the movement mechanic of arm swinging was a major flaw of the game, as it was awkward to use and made me feel less immersed in the game due to constant time wasted trying to navigate the controls, which I feel are central to a player's experience in a VR game.”
