Wallace & Gromit: The Grand Getaway

About

Wallace & Gromit: The Grand Getaway lets you join the eccentric inventor and his loyal dog in a cozy puzzle-driven escape. Navigate hand-drawn villages and quirky contraptions as you figure out a story full of mishaps and misunderstandings. The game leans into VR with simple pointer-based interactions, letting you inspect objects, tweak gadgets, and react to slapstick chaos in real time. Exploration is key, with each scene packed with tiny details that fans of the characters will appreciate. The charm here is in the execution. Wallace’s bumbling energy and Gromit’s deadpan wit shine through voice acting and exaggerated animations. While the puzzles are light and never frustrating, the world feels alive with hidden jokes and Easter eggs. Playing in VR amplifies the delight of stepping into an Aardman cartoon, though the lack of complex mechanics might leave some wanting more depth. Out December 7th on PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest.
