FATED: The Silent Oath

Pros: [list] [*]Great overall visual style and character designs. [*]Memorable set piece moments. [*]Cool atmosphere and setting, if you're into Vikings and all that jazz. Vikings rule. [/list] Cons: [list] [*]The story is incomplete, like this is just the first of many chapters. It's a good start, but it's just a start. [*]Very short, like everyone points out. There are four acts, and each is only about 20 minutes long. I can see why the folks who paid $20 would be pretty annoyed, but 10 bucks seems a fair price. [*]There are some pretty boring sections - act 1 in particular I found really dull. [*]Animations are a little stiff, and many of the voicelines have unnaturally long/uniform pauses between them, which makes things feel robotic at times. [*]It's mostly narrative, so there's no replay value. [/list] Another pro or con (depending on how you look at it) is this game is pretty light on actual gameplay. A good deal of the experience is walking around, listening to other characters talk, and looking at the sights on mostly linear paths. I didn't mind, and there are some fun action sequences and other gameplay moments to mix things up, but if you're looking for something action-packed, this isn't it. Overall I liked it enough to hope they're able to continue the story in future installments.

(PSVR2) Смог поиграть только с геймпада! Игра представляет из себя симулятор ходьбы (очень медленной ходьбы), как такового геймплея тут нет. Понравилась стилистика игры, история разворачивается в мире скандинавской мифологии. Жаль, что игра не доделана до конца. Здесь, по сути, только вступление, а не законченный продукт.

Bad ending and requires xbox controller to play

One of the fantastic experiences in VR still playable and fun in 2022. This game is from 2016, perhaps it might have been developed before, at Oculus DK times. Because, touch controllers are not supported, even though it is first person view and based on full body presence. Sounds weird, right? You control your hands with a gamepad and a head-based pointer. And actually, it works well once you accept that it is ok. After all, how could we complain when everything works fine and if they did this game in the very early days of vr? By the way, these mechanics reminded me of Ascent Spirit VR, which would make way more sense if touch controllers were supported. So, it is not alone :) Walking is so slow. Luckily, there is no need to rush since you can be busy with enjoying the beautiful art style. The textures seem beautifully crafted and hand-painted. The gameplay is very easy. Unfortunately, the content is very small in terms of gameplay. I liked the horse carriage driving part the most. Beside, there are a few small puzzles, a few platforming, and a few bow shooting for like, less than a tutorial length. So, it is mostly an experience based on a story. For me, it is more for enjoying the visual art style in VR. The story is always not as cute as its visual style. It is not a complete melancholic story though, but it has some tragic moments based on losses. I think it deserves a better end or continuation.

No idea if it's good or not. Got stuck on a 'Press the view button to calibrate' screen and no amount of button presses ever moves past it. Seems I'm not alone when it comes to this problem and the devs seem to have abandoned it seeing as how they never respond to the question so cannot reccomend it.

not ok on quest 2

would love to see the story end but its a good game for the money probably the best looking vr game i own
