From the time you wake up until the time you lay your head on your favourite pillow, it seems that these specific days just get worse by the minute. It might be a combination of several things that happen throughout the day, and they are amplified if you feel sick. For me, when one of these days arise, I always wish I was a giant, taking my revenge out on all the pitiful people who contributed to my bad day, squashing them and destroying everything they own. As a matter of fact, I had one of these days today! So, if you are in the same situation and need to let off some steam, I invite you to do so in the land of Giant Life! Giant Life is a VR action/casual game developed and published by Patagoniart, and has been available on the Steam platform since the 8 of June 2019. The game is composed of a tutorial and 22 levels. Your goal is to destroy all the buildings in each of the levels to win one, two or three golden stars, and to amalgamate as many points as you can. To do so, you’ll need to destroy buildings at just the right moment (when people nearby) in order to squash them with blocks of rubble and achieve the maximum number of points. But how do you destroy these buildings, you might ask? Well, it’s rather simple; as a giant, all you need to do is to throw rocks into the buildings. You’ll have five different types of rock: a normal black rock (which will destroy a house as soon as it hits the target), a rock with a blue light field that explodes into four little stones that fly out in four directions when it hits the ground (these rocks are very effective if you manage to drop them right in the middle of several buildings), a rock with a yellow field that explodes into three smaller rocks in mid-air when you activate it with the trigger button on your control (they are quite effective in destroying houses or boats that are located at a certain distance), a rock with a green light field that will bounce once when it hits the ground, and a rock with a purple light field that becomes bigger as it travels through the air. At the start of each of the level, you’ll be located on a hill with the village and its villagers right in front of you. On your left, you’ll have a bowl holding a certain number of rocks. The first few stages are easy, but as you progress to different levels, you’ll find that the villages also have buildings and fortifications. You’ll also have boats to destroy occasionally. Bear in mind, you must have at least one golden star to unlock the next level. The game looks very good graphically and it is a lot of fun to play, but it is repetitive. I also found that on some occasions my aim was not quite right, (yes, yes, I can hear you all saying, “You can’t throw a rock properly, you old fart”, and you’re right). But then again, sometimes you totally miss a throw and the rock still hits a target! Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Good graphics + 22 levels to beat + Easy to get into and fun to play + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - A bit repetitive - No trading cards as yet Be the evil Gulliver, scare villagers and destroy all their buildings with rocks in Giant life! 6/10 Key provided by developer/publisher for review purposes.

[b]VR cihazıyla oynayabileceğiniz bu oyunda; bir dev olarak çevrenizdeki köy ve kasabaları yıkmaya çalışıyorsunuz. Bu yıkma olayını gerçekleştirmek için birtakım taşlar kullanıyorsunuz. Yapıları yıkmak için yaptığınız taş atışlarını olabildiğince isabetli yapıp, yüksek puanları toplamayı da unutmamalısınız.

In a Giant Life bewerfen wir Dörfer mit Steinen und mehr (getestet mit der HTC Vive) Wir selbst sind ein Riese und auf die ansässige Dorfbevölkerung nicht gut zu sprechen. Deshalb haben wir es uns zum Ziel gesetzt dieses lästige Völkchen zu vertreiben indem wir ihre Dörfer zerstören. Wir stehen oberhalb der Dörfer und müssen mit einer begrenzten Anzahl an diversen Wurfgeschossen das Dorf dem Erdboden gleich machen. Dazu haben wir neben normalen Steinen auch Geschosse die beim Aufprall in mehrere Schrapnelle zerspringen, Feuerbälle die sich auf Knopfdruck in der Luft in 3 Geschosse verwandeln, oder auch hüpfende Gummigeschosse. Aufgrund der begrenzten Anzahl an Wurfgeschossen ist ein wenig taktisches Vorgehen gefragt, damit man auch mal 2 oder 3 Gebäude mit einem Wurf zerstört, sonst wird es eng. Fehlwürfe kann man sich eh kaum leisten. Treffen wir ein Gebäude fällt es in sich zusammen und nimmt idealerweise noch ein paar Dorfbewohner mit, denn auch diese geben Punkte. Haben wir kein Mindestmaß an Zerstörung erreicht müssen wir das entsprechende Level neu starten. Schaffen wir es, werden wir mit 1-3 Sternen belohnt, für Erfolgssammler vielleicht interessant... Insgesamt stehen uns 22 (+1?) unterschiedliche Maps mit steigendem Schwierigkeitsgrad zur Verfügung, wir müssen sie allerdings nach und nach freispielen. Die Grafik ist recht simpel gehalten, erfüllt aber ihren Zweck. Die Physik funktioniert gut, hat man sich erst einmal an die Wurftechnik gewöhnt trifft man relativ genau. Allerdings ist es mir leichter gefallen die Steine wie eine Boulder-Kugel zu werfen, die normale Wurftechnik funktioniert zwar auch, ist aber auf dauer wesentlich anstrengender. Innerhalb unseres kleinen Bereiches können wir uns einfach teleportieren um in der richtigen Position zu stehen und alles zu erreichen, ist aber kaum von Nöten. Das Spiel hat schon einen gewissen Suchtfaktor, allerdings kann es auch ab und an frustrierend sein, wenn man mal wieder den letzten Stein völlig daneben geworfen hat... Aufgrund des angemessenen Preises können Fans solcher Spiele ruhig zugreifen. Es lief durchgehend flüssig, die Wurftechnik funktioniert nach etwas Übung und der Umfang mit 22 Maps ist in Ordnung.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key to review this game.[/i] You can view my review & gameplay here (pre-release): https://youtu.be/Rdub_BmT1pc So I gave an intial impressions review above with the pre-release version of the game. The game has had some updates to the gameplay since that time. There are now two new kinds of rocks. Before I get to that, let me explain the game. This is basically a rock throwing game, similar to Angry Birds (physics-based puzzle game). However, the throwing physics is on the arcade side, although it does work (the more force you throw with, the farther the rock will go, along with the correct trajectory). On my 1060 GTX, I experienced gameplay lag spikes during various ocassions, but almost always when there were several explosions on screen. You are a giant who hurls rocks at the village. Your goal is to get the highest score possible. There are 5 types of rocks: a normal rock, a rock that splits into other rocks (strategic to get hits on several structures with this), a fire rock that you can press trigger to split unto smaller fire rocks in the air, a green rock that bounces once forward, and a pink rock that is bigger than normal once in the air. Despite the above types of rocks, the game remains basically the same throughout. The village configurations also differ slightly and the landscape changes from a forest village to a snowy village to an island village, etc. The core gameplay does NOT change. You're hurling rocks throughout, although the number of rocks and the types of rocks do change that somewhat vary the gameplay. In the end, this game is not as polished as Angry Birds (mobile). Angry Birds had smart level designs that kept the core gameplay while adding modifiers that kept the game interesting. Compared to other physics-based puzzle games in VR (e.g. VR Furballs), this game is rather mediocre and uninspiring. Rate 5/10.

Great game, ideal for virtual reality, simple but cute graphics, plenty of level, easy to learn through the tutorial and a little bit challenging on some levels. The only negative that I found is the lack of a Sandbox Mode to play a bit more with the destruction. Fully recommend.

O jogo parece ser bem interessante, e também é bastante leve, porém não tem como jogar se você não tiver óculos VR, não tem como interagir se tiver apenas com o mause

The game physics system really impressed me. Hope they keep working on it, adding more maps and immersion features. Totaly worth it for under 10 bucks.

This game was a treat to play it has 22 levels across different themes. Performance of the game is acceptable , but i did had issues getting 90fps average throughout the whole playtime. The Game costs 9 pucks, i say ... put it on your wish list and when it is on sale pick it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1wJtcd6RnY

The physics feel very natural, I was able the lob the boulders realistically and with great satisfaction raining destruction on the villages below. The puzzle aspect of your limited supply of rocks adds a good twist to the challenge. Nice game, easy to pick up and fun!

Not a very big fan of VR games. But a friend of mine lend me an Oculus, and have to say had a lot of fun while playing this game. Defenively will come back to this one to finish it. Worth the price in my localized region.
