Cloudborn

I'm enjoying climbing and exploring. Nice relaxing game. Like 'The Climb' with a purpose for the climbing besides getting to the top.

Playing on an Oculus Rift. It is a fairly standard climbing-type game (e.g., The Climb, To The Top), but with a more fantasy-type setting for you, The climbing mechanics are pretty straightforward, but I don't understand when grabbing some vines, the game shifts my point of view without any input from me (in some cases, 180 degrees). It got annoying after a while to keep rotating myself to correct the camera (annoying as in the HMD cable getting wrapped around my ankles). The smooth turning setting is slow enough that I started turning my body instead of using the joystick. Using the left joystick for movement seemed unreliable as it would seem to cut out at random intervals; switching to the arm swinging setting proved to be more reliable. If you have not played a climbing-type game before, this is not a bad choice, so long as you are aware of its quirks. If you have played this type of game before, I don't think you would find anything substantially different to warrrant a purchase. I'll play a few more levels to see if I need to retract any of the above statements, but for right now, this is how I see it.

Gameplay video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZQGRmiUwW0 Cloudborn features an interesting world to explore, full of strange ruins and beautiful nature. Your job is to find the corruption and get rid of it. The game looks good, the art style fits this kind of game very well. The world is interesting, with ancient ruins overgrown with plantlife and the mysterious corruption spread all over the place. You get around the level with walking or climbing. The climbing system is solid, grabbing onto things and launching yourself from one ledge to an other is very simple. There is also a fatigue aspect you need to have in mind, otherwise you will loose your grip. This is handeld quiet easily, you just have to hold still for a moment and grab the ledge (or what ever you're hanging on) with both hands to refresh. This basicly forces you to stop every once, which is convenient, since this gives you time to admire the scenery. Overall this game is simple, but beautiful and is very relaxing to play.

Really good, a bit short, but worth it. Must-have for vr fanatics. I hope they will make a sequel or bigger version with more lore tho, the world shows us a lot of great potential, but we miss the story behind this world.

Interesting idea, pretty graphics, and very smooth controls. Note that the game is very, very short (completable in under 90 minutes).

This is a good VR experience especially because of its style and overall consistent quality. The graphics are really well done and look really good in the current VR Headset generation. Because the well balanced approach to graphic fidelity and style Cloudborn stays readable and pretty even though the levels are quite big. I would not claim that it is a game because for that it is simply lacking some gameplay features. But as a exploration experience it is really well done!

i got to play this early at comic con in sweden and really liked it i then played it and it was a meh game. I do like the climbing and that there is a story but i dont really care but if you want a relaxing climbing vr game buy it
