You move and attack with Trover directly using the gamepad, but from the seated perspective of the Chairorpian who can only teleport between specific nodes that Trover runs to. The VR mechanics are a clever combination of the third-person platforming you’d find in Astro Bot: Rescue Mission or Lucky’s Tale with the first-person teleportation movement of many VR shooters. It’s got a healthy mix of platforming, combat, and puzzle solving sections, none of which is overly complex but all of it is enjoyable the whole way through. Beneath the insane plot and ridiculous conversations is one of the better VR platformers I’ve played. Thankfully, Trover Saves the Universe doesn’t rely on making you laugh alone. That last point is my biggest complaint with the writing (or lack thereof): Roiland’s comedy style is like drunken boxing in that its wild unpredictability is the key to making you laugh – but during the moments in which it gets a little too “drunk” and goes off the rails, it always falls back on pointless profanity without landing an effective hit.

Sometimes I was laughing at the sheer absurdity, others thanks to genuinely well-crafted jokes, and frequently just from cheap but effective shock value. Trover Saves the Universe had me cracking up the entire time, and I’d often just stop and listen to the reams of extra dialogue characters would continue to ramble off long after I could have walked away.

Many of the voices are done by Roiland himself (you’ll recognize most of them, as Trover and Glorkon sound suspiciously close to Morty and Rick, respectively) and they have a casually delivered quality that is extremely welcome in the video game world where voice acting can too frequently feel stunted and stiff. Roiland’s unique brand of loose, improvisational jokes with intentionally sloppy delivery is just as strange, funny, and unpredictable here as it is on TV. If you’ve seen either of the “Interdimensional Cable” episodes of Rick and Morty then you’ll generally know what to expect from the humor and writing in Trover Saves the Universe.
