I wouldn't recommend this for the full price of $25 but, if you can get it on a good sale, it's not terrible. It's not particularly good, either, though. There are many better puzzle games for VR. Despite this game being often recommended, it's pretty weak in a lot of ways... First off, the "puzzles" barely count as puzzles. There are like 2 real puzzles in the entire game and the rest of them fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1) You just have to follow a chain of interactables that can only be done in sequence. You'll enter a room, there will be a bunch of switches and such but none of them are powered on except one. You interact with that one and another powers on. Then you interact with that one and another powers on, etc, until you reach the end of the sequence. 2) There will be a bunch of interactables all powered on at once but there's no trick or logic to solve it. You just have to fiddle with things until you stumble across the solution. Second, the smooth locomotion is PAINFULLY slow. Smooth loco and teleport are both active at the same time but smooth loco is so slow that you're basically forced to teleport. Third, this game is super short. I'm writing this after beating the game at 2.5 hours. I did miss a couple things so it might be like 3-3.5 hours to 100% it but not long at all. Lastly, the controls are kind of annoying, even though the only controls to speak of are switching between your grabber, scanner and flashlight. The flashlight is useless. The laser your scanner emits works better as a flashlight than your actual flashlight so that could have been gotten rid of. Then I'm sure they could have worked out a way to make the scanner and grabber active at the same time. There's no real reason to switch back and forth. If you got rid of the switching then that would free up the face buttons and then you can use the trigger for the grabbers and one of the face buttons for the scanner. EZPZ. Overall, it's not terrible but it's not particularly good, either. Considering the price is high for the length and the fact that there are better puzzle games available for VR, I can't strongly recommend this but I can't really recommend against it, either. It's one of those "I would have picked 'neutral', if I could" games.
Joguinho top, mostra como o feijão com arroz bem feito funciona nos jogos de VR. Uma historinha simples com um plot legal no final. O jogo é de exploração com puzzles agradaveis e interações basicas, mas muito competente no que se propõe. Fazia tempo que n jogava a sério no meu VR, até pelo desanimo com os jogos ruins no geral, mas esse aqui me prendeu por essas horinhas. Jogos em VR n precisam ser longos mesmo, é meio cansativo de jogar. 7/10
please buy, so fun. looks like something released this year, and not 2018.
Хорошая Игра!!! Моё прохождение: https://rutube.ru/plst/1560710
amazing experience!
Everytime i got stuck in this game was due to me forgetting the ability of rotating objects and look under them. Plus, got softlocked right in the beginning. Puzzles are pretty easy. If you got stuck then maybe you overlooked something. Controls seem wonky (Quest 2) and "flying" feature only makes worse for ppl with motion sickness. Walking may slow down for no reason like you're walking through the mud. Yet you can run fast through the table with no collision. It takes less than 3 hours to complete the game. The story is interesting, has some horror vibes. I would never have guessed the ending. I would not call this game bad and the game is very cheap for a VR game, yet better buy it with a discount.
Świetna gra z dobrą grafiką i historią, polecam
очень уж кроткая, меньше, чем за три часа прошел. загадки не сложные, выглядит ОООЧЕНЬ красиво, на счет оптимизации хз, у меня 5060, i3 12100, еле 60 кадров добился, чтоб пиксели глаза не выкалывали и выглядело все четко. может быть я не правильно настраиваю приложение для трансляции хз, Pico connect использую. И все время вентиляторы видюхи орали как турбина самолета. Сюжет интересный, локации классные, сеттинг мне понравился, а язык в целом можно даже и читать без сканера-переводчика, ток приноровиться надо хд. Надо бы вторую часть поиграть. Единственное что не понравилось - контроллеры в самой игре, не понимаю зачем они, правая рука - просто рука, а у левой есть помимо хваталки всего два инструмента, фонарик почти не использовал, мне честно говря не понятно зачем было делать такое управление, будто фонарь мог быть к "шелему" прикреплен, а сканер с берда снимать, например, но да ладно. дело вкуса
Short but fun and nicely done. Worth a buy when on sale.
很短且解密简单,大多数是室内场景,总体不错。
