Yes, it's repetitive. Yes, it's “easy”. Yes, it's not so challenging. Yes, it's pretty straightforward, linear, “from A to B” etc. But a huge BUT:
This is how you should make games when "riding" something technological and I see that more and more games try to adapt to this technique where "your" joystick controls another joystick. I love the constructor panel, the simplicity of upgrading, visualization and "feel" of what you are going to control later.
This is how you should make VR constructors. I must be able to see and manipulate in 3D anything that I will be using, imagine a sword forging, you will spin the iron bar it at your will, that's how you make a sword. It will definitly frustrate you if instead that, you'll be promt to an cheap gui "check" option (of course depending of the purpose of the game).
Main cons (IMO):
- Game actually is really short as if it was barely a tech demo or just a demo, very grindy itself.
- Camera handling could be much, much better. Maybe an option to "lock or follow" would be nice.
- In game ghost controllers could be better, maybe replaced with more techie "physical" ones or joysticks.
- Mission timer really has to be gone, it even lacks any "scientific" or lore explanation. Even IXION didn't need any while the game itself is based on total and continuous disaster after disaster without full recovery up until the very end.
Why would I still recommend this? Have the experience, not every game is meant to be replayable or even finished for everyone. Many are out there to have that experience and give you that feel you may or may not need. Give it a try because if you don't like it you can always return it.
