Journey For Elysium

Journey for Elysium von Mantis Games ist eine Abenteuergeschichte im Jenseits. Auf den Weg ins Elysium müssen wir diverse Aufgaben meistern. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842477570 Journey for Elysium beginnt ganz unverfangen. Bis wir uns getrieben von einer Stimme und einem schwebenden blau leuchtender Kugel in den Tod stürzen …. Eingebettet in einer fast nur aus Grautönen bestehenden Welt der griechischen Mythologie laufen und rudern wir nun den Fluß Styx herunter und erfahren immer mehr über die wirklichen Umstände unseres Todes. Begleitet werden wir nun von einer, nach eigenen Angaben, göttlichen orangefarbenen Kugel. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842476721 Journey For Elysium zieht uns direkt in seinen Bann. Die Umgebungen und auch das Leveldesign sind sehr gut gelungen und wir gucken uns gerne um, genießen die surreale Welt an den Ufern des Flusses. Die Grafik mit ihren gedämpften Farben hilft den irgendwie bedrohlichen Charakter der Zwischenwelt gut zu verdeutlichen. Besonders toll ist es, dass wir, da wir ja auf einem Fluss unterwegs sind, die meiste Zeit rudern müssen. Das ist natürlich nicht so realistisch wie in Mirage Kayak, aber unser Boot lässt sich hervorragend über den Styx steuern. Aber auch an Land ist Aktion angesagt, wir müssen viel und hoch klettern, bekommen Pfeil und Bogen und sogar eine Harfe, um bestimmte Rätsel lösen zu können. Das Spiel auf der Harfe klingt engelsgleich und macht Spaß. So ein himmlisches Instrument habe ich in VR bisher noch nicht gespielt. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842477796 Im Grunde müssen wir in Journey for Elysium zwar oft nur einen Gegenstand zu einem bestimmten Ort bringen, damit wir weiter kommen, die Aktion die meist damit verbunden ist, entschädigt über die einfachen Aufgaben. Zu allem Überfluss leuchten die Objekte alle fröhlich in einem grellen orangefarbenen Licht, sodass wir sie nur schwer übersehen können. Dadurch wirkt das Spiel auch eher wie eine Art erzählter Film, indem wir selbst der Protagonist sind und nicht wie ein reines Actionadventure. Genauso soll Journey for Elysium wohl auch erlebt werden und so funktioniert diese Erfahrung sehr gut. Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist wohl, das das Spiel komplett in Englisch ist und nur englische Untertitel anbietet. Die Geschichte ist aber mit gutem Schulenglisch verständlich und das Spiel lässt sich wohl auch ohne Hintergrundwissen beenden, ist dann aber nicht so überraschend. Will man nicht durch das Spiel rushen, dauert es knapp 3h. Dank der praktischen Kapitelauswahl muss man das Spiel aber nicht in einem Rutsch spielen. Journey for Elysium ist eine tolle kurze erzählerische Nachtod-Erfahrung mit einer interessanten Geschichte und einem nicht unbedingt vorherzusehendem Ende.

On the way to Elysium we have to master various tasks. Journey for Elysium begins quite unselfconsciously. Until we are driven to our deaths by a voice and a floating blue glowing sphere ..... Embedded in a world of Greek mythology consisting almost entirely of shades of grey, we now run and row down the river Styx and learn more and more about the real circumstances of our death. We are now accompanied by what is described as a divine orange orb. Journey For Elysium casts its spell on us immediately. The environments and the level design are very well done and we enjoy looking around, enjoying the surreal world on the banks of the river. The graphics with their muted colours help to clarify the somehow threatening character of the in-between world. It is especially great that, since we are on a river, we have to row most of the time. Of course, this is not as realistic as in Mirage Kayak, but our boat is easy to steer across the Styx. But there is also action on land, we have to climb a lot and high, we get a bow and arrow and even a harp to solve certain puzzles. Playing the harp sounds angelic and is fun. I haven't played such a heavenly instrument in VR before. Basically, in Journey for Elysium we often only have to bring an object to a certain place so that we can move on, but the action that is usually involved compensates for the simple tasks. To make matters worse, the objects all glow cheerfully in a bright orange light, making it hard for us to miss them. This also makes the game feel more like a kind of narrated film in which we ourselves are the protagonist rather than a pure action adventure. This is exactly how Journey for Elysium is meant to be experienced, and so the experience works very well. The only downer is that the game is entirely in English and only offers English subtitles. However, the story is understandable with good school English and the game can probably be finished without background knowledge, but then it is not so surprising. If you don't want to rush through the game, it takes just under 3h. Thanks to the practical chapter selection, however, you don't have to play the game in one go. Journey for Elysium is a great short narrative night-death experience with an interesting story and a not necessarily foreseeable ending.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/KMQhGW2TXEc This is a nice game for what it is at this price. It's a narrative-driven adventure game. It's got some rowing your boat, playing a lyre, archery, platforming, and some puzzle solving (mostly finding objects, moving objects, or going through a maze). However, the action is all secondary to the story. It took me exactly 2 hours to beat the game. I don't want to give out spoilers, but basically you're dead and you're re-living key moments in your life. You find out that maybe certain things that happened, weren't what they seemed to be. The story is alright, but due to the shortness of the game, is not fleshed out very well. The voice overs are adequate, but don't really stand out. Of course, given the budget price, it's kind of par for the course. The writing misses the mark at times though and it makes the story maybe seem like it's meandering at times. Game is running on the Unity engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps for the most part, with only a few frame rate drops, usually in between scenes. You do have full locomotion or teleportation available, along with smooth or snap turning (the turning is pretty slow). You can play the game seated. However, my height was too high and I couldn't pick up some coins, so I had to re-adjust my height outside of the game and come back. There is no in-game adjustment or re-centering. Overall, this game is fine. I'm surprised it has so many positive reviews. I thought the puzzles / platforming were too simple. Several of the puzzle types are repeated often. The visual style is interesting. The story is nice at times. You may enjoy this more if you're into very casual style walking simulators. However, without the strong narrative, it just didn't do it for me. I don't regret my time in Journey for Elysium, but it's pretty forgettable. [b]Rate 6.5/10. It's nice I guess.[/b] [quote]If you enjoyed my review, please consider joining my Steam Curator group [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Oculus_WMR]Oculus Rift Reviews.[/url][/quote]

Interesting and cool ame to play in VR ...if you dont own a VR you can still enter to play it and experience a bit of it but it feels wrong as this game wasn't created to play without VR. You will experience your journey from Underworld to the beautiful Elysium. A game worth to play and have fun in VR headset !

Yes, definitely. Get it. I held out for a long time and now just played it. Everything is superb. If you're one of those who leave a negative review, you got some real issues with standards. Story, direction, fluid gameplay, bugless, visuals, simple but thought provoking puzzles. It's great. FYI, I suck at puzzles but found em easy. I love that it keeps the flow and momentum going. Highly recommended, even if not on sale. I mean you'll probably blow your money on a 2 hour movie at a cinema or cigarettes, or pizza. I dunno. Might as well spend it here.

Un jeu d'aventure en VR, principalement un walking-simulator basé sur la narration avec beaucoup de dialogue (en anglais assez soutenu, + sous-titres anglais) avec un petit côté 'Vanishing of Ethan Carter' dans la présentation & gameplay. On alternera aussi avec des phases en bateau sur le Styx (où il faudra ramé), quelques petits puzzles simples (ramasser des pignons, tourner des mécanismes, petit casse-têtes etc...), des petites phases d'escalades, un arc pour tirer des flèches pour enflammer des brasiers à distance & une lyre pour quelques puzzles... Des décors en noir & blanc assez jolis & imposant avec les quelques objets/visions importantes en couleurs. Une bonne petite expérience & bien produite dans l'ensemble. (sous HTC Vive Pro 2)

No. Just... no. This is an example of how to not do locomotion. You can't turn with the joystick (at least not with the index) and to turn it requires a swipe on the touch pad. Which its long and narrow, and intended for scrolling motions, not left and right. And the boat section? Well if you can't handle direct locomotion for any reason, it could be barf inducing. When moving you don't get any options for reducing motion sickness.

The mood of the game is excellent and I enjoyed it up to the final level, but climbing these towers is too much for me. I absolutely dislike this time pressure and action stuff, because I'm simply too clumsy for it. After falling down from the tower I don't know how often, being swiped off by these rotating stalagtites, I gave up. What is more, with the Index controllers it is simply not possible to rotate in place. I had to do it by physically rotating in my room all the time, permanently stepping on the cables. I could have lived with the latter, but the final level broke it for me and sadly I have to say, it was a waste of money!

Great Story, Great Presentation, Great graphics, Great Game play This is a real beautiful art piece for VR Thanks to the developers for making this experience.

This was a fairly direct puzzle game, wishing my archery skills weren't so crappy. Climbing Apollo's temple where playing the lyre to open handholds to get up to the next platform is timed, and the controllers had trouble keeping a grip. But overall, the story and path to completion is enjoyable and I finished in an afternoon. I recommend the locomotion method of movement. The teleport option doesn't allow you to easily turn around and since there is a big warning on the screen when you are facing backwards, its nicer to be able to rotate at will.

Na dużej przecenie można kupić. To raczej interaktywne demo albo prezentacja zaświatów niż pełnoprawna gra. No ale wiosłowanie po Styksie ma swój klimat tutaj.
