About Fixer Undercover
Fixer Undercover is a VR puzzle adventure developed by Creativity AR that dropped on SteamVR and Meta Quest headsets in early 2026. You play a repair worker infiltrating a prison to uncover secrets behind its rehabilitation program. The game blends problem-solving with gadget-based espionage, letting you use tools like hammers, wires, and improvised objects to bypass security and progress. It’s a single-player, story-driven experience that leans into creative thinking over combat. The premise is simple: fix things to break things. The setting is a claustrophobic prison with hidden labs and malfunctioning tech, making it feel like a real-world escape room. Best for players who enjoy tinkering with mechanics in VR.
Gameplay
You spend most of the game scanning environments for tools, manipulating objects with hand-tracking controls, and solving logic puzzles. Tasks range from rewiring circuits to disabling cameras by jury-rigging paperclips into tripwires. Each level introduces new mechanics, like hacking terminals by arranging cables or using sound dampeners to avoid detection. The challenge lies in figuring out which tools combine to bypass obstacles, like using a welding torch to melt a lock but needing a heat-resistant glove to avoid triggering alarms. Sessions feel methodical, with a focus on exploration and trial-and-error. Movement is teleport-based to avoid motion sickness, and the UI is minimal, relying on on-screen prompts. The prison’s repetitive cell blocks and lab rooms keep the pacing grounded, but the satisfaction of a clever workaround makes the grind worth it.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community gives Fixer Undercover a 82% approval rating, with critics at 76%. Players spend an average of 12.5 hours, and 68% finish the game. Achievement completion is 35%, with 35 total trophies. The mood is split: 42% describe it as "curious," 38% as "clever," but 20% call it "repetitive." Reviews highlight the puzzle design: "The physics-based challenges are creative, but some interactions feel clunky, like trying to hold three objects at once." Others praise immersion: "Feeling like a real repair worker in VR is unmatched." However, complaints about monotonous environments and inconsistent physics pop up frequently. The game is most praised for its accessibility, with 78% of players saying the difficulty curve is fair.
PlayPile's Take
Fixer Undercover is worth playing if you own a VR headset and enjoy methodical, gadget-heavy puzzles. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier buy with a solid 12-hour campaign. The 35 achievements add replay value, but the game’s repetitive settings and physics quirks may test patience. It’s not impressive but offers a satisfying niche experience for fans of environmental problem-solving. Skip it if you prefer fast-paced action or open-world exploration. For VR puzzle devotees, though, it’s a decent pick with a few clever surprises.
