Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay

it's just a tech demo and not a game, very short and on rails

Free, Kind of fun,Wished it was a full game.

VR‑игра во вселенной «Звёздных войн», где игрок занимается ремонтом дроидов на космической станции. Погружение в мир франшизы через интерактивное взаимодействие с культовыми персонажами‑дроидами. Плюсы: Атмосфера «Звёздных войн»: детализированное окружение и знакомые звуки из фильмов. Интерактивность — можно настраивать рабочее место, транспортировать дроидов, калибровать системы. Харизматичные дроиды с индивидуальными реакциями на действия игрока (писки, движения и т. д.). Минусы: Очень короткая продолжительность — игра занимает 10–20 минут. Простой геймплей без сложных задач: процесс ремонта интуитивно понятен и почти не требует усилий. Отсутствие свободы передвижения — игрок ограничен небольшой зоной станции. Итог: идеальный короткий VR‑опыт для фанатов «Звёздных войн», желающих почувствовать себя в роли техника, чинящего культовых дроидов. Подойдёт для первого знакомства с VR, но не даст длительного игрового вовлечения.

This is the kind of game that makes me really wish that I could do more than offer a binary yes/no review. This little VR experience (which I can't properly call a game), is only recommended because its free. Let's start with the positive. The graphics are good, the minigame is intuitive, and it's a great showcase of what VR can do. Also, it's free, so there's no reason [i]not[/i] to give it a try, if only briefly. My biggest complaint about this experience - and the reason I won't call it a game - is because there's no stakes whatsoever. You don't fetch the droid in time? The crane will autopilot to fetch it. You don't fix a droid in time? It'll just jump off the table anyway, and apparently be none the worse for wear. You drop a component? A droid helper will fetch you a new one. You don't resolve the "twist" at the end? It'll sort itself out anyway. In other words, although there is an interactive element, nothing you do actually matters to the short vignette around you. I would much rather one or more droids not ending up operational if you don't fix them, or the situation at the end only being resolved when you fix it, etc. so that you feel you are having an actual impact on the outcome rather than being a glorified observer. Then you have the length of the experience. My playtime - a little less than an hour - was me playing through this game 4-5 times to 99% the achievements (I'm not going for the BS final one). That makes this only around 10 minutes or so per playthrough, which is absurdly short for anything you pay for. Fortunately, this is a glorified advertisement for The Last Jedi (and Nissan, for some reason), so at least there's that. And finally, my last gripe is that they couldn't even be bothered to have a functional UI. I couldn't find any method to just [i]restart[/i] the game. I had to close it and then re-open it every time I wanted to go for another run for the sake of achievements - and this is a game where it's literally impossible to get all the achievements in one go (one is for not dropping anything, another for dropping a bunch of stuff) - so the lack of a "play again" option, even just nestled underneath the advertisement or off to your side or something, was an inconvenient lack of thought. Overall, this feels like a game designed for 5-year-olds, but designed for an expensive piece of technology that would be played mostly by adults. It's a short and unsatisfying experienced if you really dig into it, but anyone who enjoys Star Wars might as well try it out given it's free.

Neat 10 mins, VR play.
