Aside from your abilities, nearly everything is interactive, and half the fun comes from throwing everything you find and overall creating more havoc than repairs. Water powers can be used to put out fires, ice powers can fix electrical boxes or create ice sheets, crystals can be used to attach broken cables, you can shrink or enlarge objects, use powers to create mini tornadoes, and so much more. It’s all quite fun and easy, with the only challenge often being where to go next. Sure, there are a few specific tasks you must handle in a specific way, but more often the game allows you to go wild, creating a mess or pushing you to let your creativity shine. Cosmonious High is essentially a playground, and as such how you accomplish a goal is often left up to you to figure out. The variety is impressive and each task feels unique. You may find yourself creating formulas in chemistry, dyeing your water powers so you can haphazardly paint an entire room, shooting some hoops, or helping write love poems. Each course has a variety of assignments to complete, all of which are wildly varied and have you make great use of your newly obtained powers. The main thrust of the game is repairing the school while attending ridiculously named classes such as chemosophy. Each power you are imbued with can be used to help you navigate the halls of Cosmonious High, slowly piecing the school back together and unlocking new areas to explore. These powers range from being able to spray streams of water from your hands to being able to create crystals on the fly. You are Prismi, the first of your kind to attend the school, and you have the rare ability to obtain new powers.

Unfortunately, the entire experience is over too quickly, and the story is never much more than a reason to mess around in VR.Ĭosmonious High begins with you crash landing in a school which is on the verge of falling apart – fires are everywhere, rooms are locked, pipes are burst, meteors are bursting through the windows, and students are scattered throughout the building in disarray – but imminent disaster is not a reason to cancel classes, so you must fight your way through the chaos, earning new powers in each classroom you visit which you can then use to help rebuild the school. It also helps that Cosmonious High is quite funny, filled with a diverse cast of characters with unique personalities, and makes great use of VR mechanics. There are no repercussions for your actions, you are given a multitude of fun powers to experiment with, and the game actively encourages you to create chaos. Cosmonious High is the perfect playground for those new to VR or looking for a game to blow off some steam.
