Survivorman VR The Descent

The worst VR game I've ever played... Don't buy it, even on sale and for all the achievements. And if you do... Well, freeze when they tell you something. If you don't listen to the end, you'll break the scripts. If you listen to the end, you still won't understand what to do next. I won't even describe the rest. I've warned you.

A little bit less than 2 hours of game play for me. Yeah, so I died a few times (once to a polar bear!). It is a fairly easy game. The survival tips(?) were the best part of the game. The arctic region has a good feel to it with the scenery and the sounds. I never felt any sort of urgency and played it at a fairly casual pace. I only hated the suitcase sliding section as I couldn't figure a way to slow yourself down and just plummeted down the mountain. The kayak/canoe section was a nice change of pace and quite enjoyable. Since it is such a short experience and not really any replay value, get it on a good sale like I did. Enjoy the Arctic!

I found the game very entertaining as well as gaining some real world survival skills along the way, however because its a video game you don't fully understand what your limitations are and what your able to do. I died quite a lot of times but I was ready for the challenge, its like a dark souls game in that way. I really enjoyed the game and the length of time is just right as there are many games I would like to get to in the Awesome VR space.

Maybe a bit rough around the edges but this was a fun experience. If you have watched Survivormanm then this is good fun. If you have never watched Survivorman, maybe this game is actually important to play to get some basic survival thinking going to prepare for the day you are actually in danger.

Not bad at all. Totally worth it for 3 bucks. Les Stroud coaches you the entire time.

カナダのSurvivormanという番組やホストのLes Stroudという人は海外では有名らしいが、日本ではおそらく放送されていなかったので（ネットで検索しても放送された痕跡は出てこない）、ゲーム内で本人が出て来てもありがたみが無い。番組を知っていれば楽しさがアップすると思う。 BepInEx-Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64-6.0.0-be.755+3fab71aとXUnity.AutoTranslator-BepInEx-IL2CPP-5.5.2で日本語に自動翻訳は可能。翻訳されない部分もあります。アドバイザーであるLes Stroudの台詞には字幕が出ないので聴き取らないといけません。腕時計に表示されるミッション部分は翻訳されているので、それだけを頼りに最初のミッション（燃える材料を集めて火を付ける）はクリア出来ました。

Juego de supervivencia, te van enseñando algunas mecánicas de supervivencia conforme vas avanzando en la pequeña historía, La historia, te estrellas con un heli y tienes que lograr sobrevivir hasta que vengan a recogerte. El juego te lleva de la mano durante todo el recorrido, y te lo puedes acabar en 2 horas. Gráficamente el juego no está mal, y algunas mecánicas son mejorables, pero en global, el juego no está mal, yo me lo pasé bastante bien, y el juego te deja un par de sorpresas durante la historia que son divertidas. Ya me puedo quedar tirado en el Tibet que gracias a este juego podré sobrevivir y hacer una fogata, o improvisarme una cuerda para hacer rappel. Ah, este juego tambien te convalida la subida al Everest, ya tengo el diploma en casa :) Fuera coñas, not bad, divertido, lineal y mas una experiencia que un juego. Ser felices!

I am a big fan of Les and the Survivorman series. No fault of Les but the game has a lot of bugs that were never fixed. Equipment randomly disappears, while you can generally get it back by reloading it is still an annoyance. The pole can't be turned around in your hand so that you can reach in front of you as needed in multiple parts of the game. I turn my controller upside down to compensate. Assembling items as needed has bugs as well. Some bugs result in death. There is a vignette that creates black around the edges of your vision for people with motion sickness but it can't be turned off for the "action" sections. Story-wise there are issues as well. I won't give spoilers, but for those who have played the situation with the pilot?? Also a few things I am sure are not what Les would have you do in a survival situation, but used to make it a game. On the other hand the mountainside looks spectacular and other areas are nice as well. I like having Les talk to you at various points. A short game that probably ran into budget or time constraints in the making. 4 1/2 hrs to complete. Still it is the only Survivorman VR you are likely to get, so I say buy on sale.

Ultimately a little silly and very short. I got it in a Humble Bundle and it was worth playing I'd say, if only due to its somewhat unusual gameplay and setting and actual survival tips being incorporated. Unfortunately, it lacks coherence and logic. Guy says that you'll die when you get out of the orange boundaries, but you can't even do that (so much for immersion...). Then again going up to the helicopter before finishing your other tasks is an immediate death, even if you're implied otherwise (so much for immersion...). Often, your next steps are kind of unclear at the beginning, although you DO have a task log. The calorie and warmth game mechanics become almost irrelevant after the first level and even there, it feels somewhat tacked on. That one time where you rappel, there's suddenly a cable box just lying there, kilometers from the crashed heli! And then the cable ends halfway down aaaand...you're just down there! If that sounded incoherent, that's because the game is incoherent. Even stlll, in all its jank and incoherence, it's kind of memorable! The survival tips make sense (if partially only in the Arctic...) and the presentation does have a certain charm to it! It's actually quite beautiful and aesthetically pleasing for a lot of the game. The whiteout in level 3 is an interesting experience, for instance! I had fun...but to be frank, I was somewhat glad it was over. I am torn, but it's ultimately a thumbs down. And that's mostly due to the glaring issues and the price. This isn't worth 15€. This isn't worth 10. If you can get it lower and want a unique experience that you might still remember a year down the line, even though you only spent two hours....well, it might be a decent buy. Also, obviously, if you're into survival stuff. If you do: Keep the pole horizontal and dip it in the snow to your left and right to steer. Sitting on the floor seems necessary. You'll thank me later...
