Nature Treks: Together

Really cool, loved the first one so I got this one. I would really really like to see private lobbies and some kind of invite/friends only feature instead of the public islands only. (Maybe a what kind of island do you want and privacy settings). Overall glad to see this game get a sequel.

I have been waiting for something this good for five years. One of the most obvious 'games' for VR is something which lets you relax on your own private beach, with water gently lapping onto beautiful white sand - THIS IS IT. Of course there are quite a few similar games but in every one I've tried, something lets it down. Either the water looks bad or the trees are moving all jerky or you're stuck at one time of day, but this is almost perfect. Water looks lovely and translucent, the foliage moves convincingly and there is a nice gentle soundtrack if you want it. There are extra features such as being able to grow things and emit emotions but I wasn't all that interested in this, I just wanted to find my own little private beach and relax and I did WITH A CAMPFIRE! Honestly I love it. There is only one minor thing I would ask for if possible. I have a RIFT S which everyone knows has a slightly more washed out display than the original RIFT . I would LOVE to be able to turn the brightness down slightly and the contrast up to compensate. During daylight hours in the game the sky and sea look slightly washed out and I'd love to see them in deeper colours. So if the developers could see their way to putting a small box allowing changes in brightness, colour and saturation I would be very grateful. I don't know how awkward this is but it would really help. Either way 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. THANKS GUYS!!!

It was great and beautiful! A great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle, admire the sunsets and sunrises, sit by the fire! The music is great! I would like to see in the future - Perhaps a small backpack where you can collect your favorite stones, shells, etc. -Launch of paper planes and boats. -Possibly some badges that are given for achievements. Or medals that I can give to other people forever. - More animals, birds, turtles, etc. -I would like to be able to go to your island, change everything for yourself and save without internet. And then invite friends to your place when you are online. -Ability to light fires wherever I want. -And so that players have a portable cassette player where they can listen to their own music or add music from online radio. Это было великолепно и красиво! Отличное место чтобы отдохнуть от суеты, полюбоваться закатами и рассветами, посидеть у костра! Музыка отличная! Хотелось бы в будущем увидеть - Возможно небольшой рюкзак куда можно собирать понравившиеся камни, ракушки итд -Запуск бумажных самолетов и корабликов. -Возможно какие то значки которые даются за достижения. Или медальоны которые я могу навсегда подарить другим людям. - Больше зверей,птиц, черепах итд. -Хотелось бы иметь возможность заходить на свой остров, менять все под себя и сохранять без интернета. И затем приглашать друзей к себе, когда есть онлайн. -Возможность разжигать костры где я хочу. -И чтобы у игроков был переносной кассетный плеер, где можно слушать свою музыку или добавлять музыку из онлайн радио.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/UvLarWq72Wc This is one of the best VR nature walking simulators / relaxation apps / tourist destination apps in VR. However, it is a bit on the pricey side for what is currently there (in Early Access). Although at the current Steam sale price of 30% off, which I purchased at, I do think it's a nice deal given the high quality of the content. There are basically currently 2 different environments:an island map (small, medium, or large configuration) and a winter forest map. You can join up to 16 people online in the large island (4 on the small island) and you can voice chat by the campfire if you are so inclined. There are several things that make this a unique experience for VR. The first is just that it's made with a focus on multiplayer online. Don't worry, if you're anti-social like me, there's nobody really online ever & even if there was somebody online, you don't have to interact or talk if you don't want. Another thing is just how beautiful the island looks and how vibrant it is with life. You can see insects or birds flying by, or leaves falling to the ground, or fish swimming in the water. The sunsets & sunrises are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen in VR. The sea floor looks fantastic as well. Keep in mind, there's only a few, very limited interactions. You can paint in the air and you can touch the drawn lines and it'll make some music. You can also grow like rocks, or trees, or shrubs. You can also create some nice effects in the sky like a mini rain cloud. You can pick up rocks or sticks and throw them. Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps for the most part on the highest graphical settings. You do have full locomotion and smooth and snap turning available, along with teleportation. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs. I did notice some graphical glitches like vegetation swaying in the wind not looking correct or some issues with the shadows. There was very slight pop-in and maybe some issue with the draw distance with objects being blurry for a half second at a distance. Overall, I would say this experience competes with the best VR nature walking simulators. It is right up there with Matt Newell's VR creations (Caves Rd Inc.) It is in Early Access and the devs do promise more content. If that gets added then the current sale price would be an absolute steal. I would request that the devs add a torch for night, maybe a starrier sky or a way to control the weather or change the pace of the day / night cycle. Lastly, instead of having the island connected by like a small piece of island sticking out ... I would love to see the addition of canoes where you row to each of the islands. Also more privacy options. Maybe a way to watch YT videos. [b]Rate 7/10.[/b] [quote]If you enjoyed my review, please consider joining my Steam Curator Group.

It was very nice to meet the devs on a server :) They are working hard to make this game great.

Maybe this will change in the final release, but right now you have to play online and you have to play in a public area. You don't have to talk to anyone unless you are at a camp fire, but still what is the point of making this online multi-user only? When I was on there was not a single other person around. All 4 islands (and that's all you get) had a population of 0/4 or whatever the pop cap was. What's next? "Relax in a grade school lunch room" I don't think I am mistaken when I say many people go to nature to get away from people. Well then, lets make that multiplayer only! I just don't understand why that needed to be the focus for the new version. In fact, they could have just made expansions for the old one and that would have been great. Maybe I'm wrong, but there seems to be this opinion that consumers only want multiplayer games. You know who complains the most about games not being multiplayer? Kids who have enough time to sit around and play games all day with other people. Was that the target audience? "I fragged your hostile mood man!". Anyways, the point of all this is that if you want more of the first one, right now at least, this is not that. If you want an online social media gathering place, well there's like 20 free ones so not sure why you'd want this. Maybe online multiplayer is all that's available during early access or maybe the developers might get some feedback from *somewhere* and look into this. Either way, right now I'd say it's not worth getting.

I just would like to say that the game seems to be abandoned and is still in early access mode. Nothing has been update for a year now. So you might want to keep an eye on you refund time if you don't like it in its current state. Because i don't think anything is going to be added or improved. Disappointing, because i really wanted to see this grow.

i refunded the older one as i purchased by accident meaning to get this one. i purchased this and it was a huge mistake. 1 map, no one ever on, i asked about a roadmap in their discord which has gone unanswered. i rather just go back to the single player version that had more maps than waste any more time on this game. tbh the devs should just combine the 2 and add multiplayer to the og version.

First impressions - it looks stunning, really beautiful, loads of close up detail to look at. Only slight gripe so far is the sound. It needs a little more dynamic sound rather than pre-recorded. For instance, when the wind blows, would be good to hear that rustling the branches as it blows. Wave sounds as each wave hits the beach etc. Sound transitions from one area to another are a little harsh. Really looking forward to seeing how this develops, I was a big fan of the original.

Оптимизации 0. Да-да Я знаю что нужно минимальные 2070 и 7-9700 У меня 1060 на 6 гб и 9-9900к на минимальных настройках лагает безумно, раскадровка при повороте камеры. (Обновив железо, может и изменится что-то, но и на Фул графики видео мыло-мыльное, на компе картинка ок, в очках мыло адское.) На данном этапе не рекомендую, а с учетом того, что у многих видюхи не особо топ, с нынешней обстановкой, игра неиграбельна совсем . Также нет гибкой настройки графики. Движение либо телепорт, либо ходить, оба действия выбрать нельзя... И ходит как будто старик 60 лет (((( Не рекомендую, есть куда более оптимизированные и красивее проекты, огорчен.
