Espire 1: VR Operative

While the game is somewhat fun if you're into stealth games. It makes you SOOOOO nauseous. Yes, I've spent enough time in VR to be able to handle most games, however this one is something else.

Please don't let the mixed reviews dissuade you, Espire 1 had a rough launch trying to support all available platforms at once, which didn't work out well (and is also why Espire 2 started out as a Quest exclusive, focusing on the most popular platform first and porting everywhere else once the game was fully polished, although the devs currently lack the resources to do the porting work to PC sadly). The PC version of Espire 1 was also abandoned for about a year, but LODE have since updated the PC version to bring it in line with other platforms and have remained committed to keeping it that way and supporting as many headsets as possible. It's very clear that Espire 1 is anything but abandoned, and that the devs listen to and implement player feedback. Espire 1 offers a very fun stealth experience, the atmosphere and music is excellent. The Espire Control Theater is a really cool way to combat motion sickness, and is even woven into the game's story (you play as the remote pilot of an advanced military telepresence robot), which I always thought was super creative. Espire 1 regularly goes on sale for under $5 and it's absolutely worth trying out at that price.

being able to threaten a npc with your real voice and have him react to it is awesome

it almost worked for me, but it quickly got bland and repetitive. it had some good ideas and mechanics, i always love games that give you plenty of gadgets so that you can come up with your own unique solutions to every problem, but the games main issue is that its just too easy. the enemy AI isnt very good, they must all be extremely nearsighted because they cant see you if youre more than 20 feet away from them. theres really no incentive to avoid capture when you can just easily take down everyone with no issue. the game makes it SOUND like reinforcements are going to be coming after you, but in my experience none of the things the game tells you is actually true, eneimes dont have "searching" or "call in reinforcement" modes, they either patrol or attack you, and theyre just too easy to kill. the game as a whole can be boiled down to one thing: get from point A to point B. thats it. theres no puzzles or anything, its just a walking simulator.

The gamplay mechanics are actually very good but they are ruined due to the bad level design/waypoint system and enemy ai being a bit too dumb.

L'histoire j'ai pas tellement accroché, mais le reste oui. J'ai passé de bon moment, je le recommande pour ceux qui recherche du jeux calme et patient avec de temps en temps une pointe d'action.

just picked it up, great game so far, mechanics are solide and feel good.

While I only have access to Espire 1, For what it is and when it was made it is a really solid VR stealth game. Game becames less stealthy the more armor enmies start having later on in the game but then it is a lot more about manoeuvering around them. One pf the better VR stealth games over all and the VR mechanic or it being made for VR is really apparent with the ability to climb in so many places as well as use body and own movements to get and advantage . Like leaning over over a counter to get info while pointing gun at a possible enemy entry location. It all bust "makes sense".
