Neptune Flux

　　《探索海王星》是一款探索体验类的游戏，游戏开始后玩家会发现自己身处一片深海之中，驾驶着一架潜艇缓缓前行，探索这个美丽的海洋世界。 　　海底有着各种各样的东西，例如飞机残骸，海底遗迹等等。这些东西的出现，让人不由得怀疑，这片海域曾经究竟发生过什么事情。 　　游戏的画面十分逼真，朦朦胧胧地十分美好。 　　但兜兜转转的还是难免给玩家带来了几分眩晕感，加上前期纯探索和收集的玩法多少有些无趣，希望大家谨慎购买吧。 http://www.83830.com/game/201611/175814572.shtml

Bought at €5.99 and played on PC (not VR). I it took me just under 3 hours to complete, which I realise is longer than many people, but I took my time exploring the underwater setting, collecting items and upgrading as I went (this is deliberately vague to avoid spoiling anything). Yes it could have been longer or a bit more varied but, having said that, I really enjoyed playing this game and think the designers did a great job making it. Recommended (especially if its on discount).

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/PacO2X90lgg You do have to use either a gamepad or KBM to play this game as motion controllers are not supported. This is basically a walking simulator where you're in an underwater submarine. You explore the areas around your base. Unfortunately, at the start your range is limited and if you don't get back to base with any charge left, then you'll have to go in for repairs and your money will be deducted. This causes you not be able to explore fully. It is also quite dark and you can't see very well and the different sites are not marked until you locate them. So the game does start out kind of rough until you figure out where everything is and get a few upgrades. The game features light puzzles that are easy to solve .... once you figure out the order of things. Unfortunately, the puzzles seem impossible until you figure out the correct order to do the quests. This results in some frustration. The story starts out full of mystery as you find these ancient artifacts and underwater wrecks. However, once the main conflict appears, it is fully resolved within seconds. There are some nice moments as you explore the underwater mysteries. Navigating the sub even seems like an adventure at first. However, the map is pretty small. The real difficulty is just the darkness, plus not knowing where to go at first, and then not knowing which quest to do first. The game took me 2 hours. However, the game can be completed in about 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. Overall, I did enjoy the experience, but it was needlessly frustrating as well. I would recommend this game only as a buy on deep sale recommendation. I spent $4 USD, but the $2 lowest price seems like a better deal for what you'll have to put up with.

The game is interesting as a mystery adventure. playability takes getting used to on a PC. As the game progresses, upgrades are readily available (at in game money purchase) at the dock. I upgraded to the laser diode to help see better, and all it seemed to do was blind me. But I think I'm hooked because I want to see what happens next. So I will continue to see if it entertains or disappoints. I've been playing video games since pong. #oldmanfeedback.

It's ok.

Nice, story-driven (but very short) exploration game. I played the game from start to finish over a span of about 90 minutes. The game felt more like an atmospheric demo to me. It has a lot of potential for a Neptune Flux 2. $8 is not a bad price for this story.

Wanted to like this game but is not designed well. You have to use the keyboard/mouse with VR which is "great fun" considering the VR unit means you can't see it and are likely to keep hitting the wrong keys. There's no instruction on what keys corrispond to what so you have to guess until you hit upon the right ones. I went looking for stuff for the mission they sent me on and seemed to end up in parts of the game that were unsolvable at that point in time because I hadn't been able to find what I was sent out to look for, but with no indication of what it was you were missing. It seems like its wander aimlessly around and hope for the best.

Realy great game. Short once you figure it out, but it is absolutley worth it. Some kind of dlc to add to the back story would be amazing. It took about five hours to complet, but i ran through it after watching a tutorial. Highly recomend picking it up. Very emersive.

Neptune Flux is a fun, beautiful undersea adventure game. I found the story compelling and would love to know more about the world in which it takes place. Play time was just shy of two hours, if that is a factor in anyone's purchasing decision tree, but I would definitely purchase and play a sequel.

Neptune Flux is one my favorite narrative driven titles currently available for VR. I have to say Its somewhat short, as I finished it in an hour. The length to price ratio aside (and addressed below), Its a well made exploration game with professional dialogue, great atmosphere, and perfect mechanics. If your looking for a long term investment this is not for you, but as a quick adventure for an otherwise empty week night its great. Without spoilers, the ending is a bit sudden and I really had to think about it to make sense of what just happened. It seems like an origin story to something larger, as if another game could continue from exactly where this one leaves off. It reminds me of games like Firewatch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. While Neptune Flux was very entertaining the first play-through, I didn't want to replay it myself as much as I wanted to throw my friends in and watch them figure it out. Its like watching someone trying to solve a simple puzzle in nearly complete darkness - actually, that is exactly what this is. This game would make for an interesting speed-run. [h1]Final Note:[/h1] At this point in time VR games are still pretty new and making them is not cheap at all. I can justify paying up for this game because I know that the developers needs to make something after Steam's cut in order to afford this level of content for us early adopters. The cost of VR equipment and games should drop over the years. I'm happy to support the devs and hope to see some additions to this story in the future.
