Journey For Elysium

It's a good game, but it's a short game. I'd say get it while it's on sale. Doesn't take that long to beat and doesn't have any real replayability. That said the VR mechanics are solid, the puzzles are good, and the final boss battle is enough of a challenge to make it an interesting 2-2.5 hours. I was not expecting the twist at the end.

Fantastic paddleboard mechanics. A good story, well told. Eighty minutes long if you hurry. Light puzzle solving, a little archery, plenty of climbing (but not too much), epic boss fight.

Thats pretty good, very immersive, interesting story, good puzzles. Played quite well on an oculus quest2. Only criticism, I couldnt work out how to save the game. Great otherwise.

I purchased this game on one of the Steam Sales, regardless of the different feedback I read in the reviews. There are some generic games that are good for the majority of the population and others than are made for an specific public, so posting just negative things is not the right way to review a game. If you are looking for a lot of action, interaction,not very challenging experience, this is not your game, if you enjoy experiences with minimal interaction, climbing, walking, puzzles, using a bow and a musical instrument, this is your game. The art is unique, again, if you like to finish the game fast, you will miss the details put on the art and compositions of the scenes. Voices were good but not the best, story is nice and it make sense. I would like to see more sound effects and a different type of music, but it's a product and it was entertaining. It's a slow pace game/experience. I personally enjoyed it, I may keep it for when I have friends come over and ask for VR experiences. It took me less than 2 hours no rushing. If I reply it, it will be to see if I miss any other art and to get a couple missed achievements.

Played on oculus quest. Really enjoyed the story this is mostly what kept me playing. Graphics: Very gray. I found the gray to be draining after awhile and wanted more color. You get some color in the form of glowing oranges, reds and blues. But i feel it was a missed opportunity not to do flashes or color for memories or art. Gameplay: The game play on the quest was weaker to more modern titles or . Driving a boat was not smooth and ending up getting frustrating. I found if i turned 180 degrees to face the back of the boat driving instantly became easier. Climbing was missing vibration feedback, it did make a sound. But, in the middle of climbing it was hard pay attention to the small sounds. The bow game play was well done and I had no issues hitting the few targets. Overal a good game. I would love to play another mantis game with improved gameplay elements.

If you could, would you travel through the underworld on the river Styx to discover its mystery? Would you also like an annoying tour guide to talk to you and explain everything with an american accent, hindering you from any discovery on your own? Me neither.

Really nice game for around 2 hours of gameplay. The gameplay is not incredible, but the story will probably please people who like mythology.

nice game

Fun game! Definitely worth the price of entry, especially the later levels get nice and challenging. I was missing some guidance here and there, but there's a massive thing that bothered me - the main narrator's voice is just not good. The performance is bad, the writing feels strange - it's this strange thing between "godly" sort of English and very down-to-earth basic street English. It just feels a bit disjointed. The other voice actors are great. So yeah, fun gameplay, pretty cool environments, some decent but easy puzzles... And long enough. It doesn't overstay its welcome. Worth its asking price, and definitely worth it on a sale! But, sticking with the theme, its achilles heel is the writing and voice acting. The story has potential, it's just been missed a bit here. I'd still recommend :)

Story: great. Graphics: great. Combat (archery): requires very good hand coordination, otherwise the arrow will fly anywhere but where you want it to fly. I'll give it 4.5/5.
