Mars Odyssey

L'expérience dure une vingtaine de minutes. Elle se découpe en 3 phases toutes en roomscale (déplacement dans votre pièce et utilisation des Vive Controllers) : -Le vaisseau en orbite martienne qui vous permet d'avoir un magnifique panorama sur la planète rouge, et d'accéder à la salle holographique, et à la salle de la capsule. C'est assez joliment fait, vous avez deux trois interrupteurs et portes à actionner, et vous déplacez par téléportation. -La salle holographique vous présentera Mars au sein du système solaire, un cours éducatif à destination de tous, court mais très beau. Uniquement en anglais malheureusement. -Enfin la capsule va vous mener sur les sites de différentes sondes : Viking 2, Mars Pathfinder, Opportunity, et Curiosity. Un petit bonus vous sera offert à la fin, que je ne vais pas spoiler. Tout d'abord dans ces séquences sur le sol martien les réussites sont le casque du scaphandre : superbement réalisé et oppressant, bravo ! Les sondes sont assez bien modélisées même si ce point est améliorable. Vous pouvez interagir avec les sondes : réparer Viking, mettre à l'abris d'une tempête de sable (très bien rendue) Sojourner en le pilotant, nettoyer les panneaux solaires d'Oppy, et dégonder à coups de marteau Curiosity ( ? ). Une fois la tâche finie vous pourrez toucher à l'aide de vous controlleurs les différends éléments de sondes, ce qui affichera des détails ces instruments. Le seul point qui pêche est le niveau de détail des textures trop bas, et le faible nombre d'éléments à moyenne portée, un point clairement à améliorer pour rendre l'expérience idéale. LA grande qualité de l'expérience est sa musique absolument grandiose. L'expérience sera compatible Oculus Rift à la sortie des contrôleurs Touch. En résume une bonne expérience en attendant les blockbusters (on l'espère) que seront Mars 2030 (by NASA) et The Martian VR Experience (by Ridley Scott). En espérant que le dev ajoutera du contenu (via le sas 03 inutilisé ?) et améliorera les textures (via photogrammétrie). Le prix de lancerment de 4,79 euros est très correct, valable jusqu'au 15 septembre sur Steam donc foncez.

Well executed. Consider this as 'The Blu in space'. :) Really enjoyable demo of how VR should work. Not much replay value - but immersive and a lot of fun. Recommended.

Too little content here and a few bugs as well. I was expecting much more by this title. - The gameplay is non-existing - You cannot explore Mars at all. The areas are so small (and empty, with no details at all) you can barely walk around the rovers. - Repairing a rover with a welding torch is wierd...repairing a rover with a hammer has absolutely no sense. - The voice keep talking while you try to read information on the instruments...very annoying. - BUG #1 (small): The dust storm on Pathfinder suddenly disappear. You wait for it, you want to see how strong and devastating the dust storms on Mars are, you struggle to protect the minirover and...nothing. Simply nothing happens. It disappears before reaching your position. Very bad. - BUG #2 (large): the teleport did not work in the pathfinder site for me (tried with both controllers) so I could not leave the cabin :( I still managed to save the minirover (from nothing, see above point) but I could not explore the lander. +/- As a planetary scientist at the Italian Institute of Astrophysics and Planetary Science an a major expert on Mars, the only thing I appreciated was the small description about the vaious experiments on the rovers (there are some technical words, however, which could make it difficult for non-specialists to understand). This title has great potential, but has o be largely improved. Current state is not more than a short demo.

Amateurish and just not enjoyable. It's undetailed, low res and boring. It may have been "cool" when VR was all new and such.. On top of that, there is no odyssey at all. What a misleading game title! It's just some "tech demos"/levels you're skipping through and the game mechanics are minimalistic. I didn't feel like being on mars at all.

Played on HTC Vive Pro/Vive Wands 1.0/RTX2060Super, very entertaining. Looks great, and is informative and fun. Now, I'm not a big fan of the movement itself, going black before moving to the spot you picked, but I guess it will keep motion sickness to a minimum, and let's not forget, this is a game from 2016, so it was certainly still a time when VR movement was still tinkered with. I got the game as part of a bundle over at indiegala back in 2017, so I couldn't have paid more than 4-5 euro's for the whole bundle. As I'm a cheapscape, 8 euro's for only half an hour worth of content is a bit steep for me, but I think on sale for a few bucks it's good, as it really is fun (but I'm very interested in spacetravel etc). Only negative I have, it kinda ends on a cliffhanger (for me) as it's said at the end there is a mysterious signal and you will be transported over to it, but then it just shows the end credits... Would have loved for this to have been turned into a bigger game, with this just as a prelude, and the actual game just starting with the mysterious signal.. So keeping my fingers crossed they would do an adventure..

An astonishing experience! Especially the overview of the planet from the station and the sunlight seen from the planet.

Vary cool, need a full version, I could spend hours playing a game like this

Für jeden zu empfehlen, der einmal auf dem Mars sein möchte

adorei!!!!! , não é jogo, mas transforma voce em um astronauta visitando marte. quem gosta de assuntos espaciais este é um item obrigatório, e ca pra nós o preço é irrisório néh!!

About 30 min of fun Mars exploration. If you like space, Mars or exploration you should try this!
