Tales of Wedding Rings VR

Wow! What an amazing experiance. That being said, the price makes it not worth it. There is about 30 min of playtime and then thats it. The title and description are missleading at best. It leads one to believe that this would be a full/extended experieance, not a partial or showcase. If the title was updated to say Tales of Wedding Rings Chapter 1 VR or the description mentioned that it only plays through chapter 1. I would be understand, but even then at $20 its still to costly. Save your money and get the books instead.

There is no gameplay, it is rather a visual novel. The entire experience is well worth my 30 minutes spent on this "game" because Im a vivid fan of manga and anime, in fact, I just ordered all 8 volumes of the paperwritten manga of this, but to speak for the average person, I want to remind you to not expect any sort of gameplay or lengthy experience out of this game. IF you like these sort of "watch" games, please get yourself a copy to support the developers and artists. They did a good job.

Pro: Good quality VR animation. Cons: The duration of the video is 30 minutes. Monochrome manga-style animation. It's like anime but in BLACK AND WHITE. The video doesn't even cover the entire first chapter of the 44-chapter manga as of the time of this review. It only covers up to (but not including) where Satou steps into the other world from the portal (i.e. less than half of the first chapter). I wanted more bang for my buck. Imagine paying full price for a season of your favorite 12-episode tv show...only to find that the product inside contained exactly 1 episodes. This is basically unfinished, not even half-assed anime. Seriously...1 episode is NOT worth the $ you pay for this product. Go watch the anime instead, folks. It's cheaper and has more episodes than this. Do not buy this.

Played through it twice. Was very impressed by the full presentation. It's a blast to play and just observe as panels come into and out of focus -- sometimes englufing you along with it. The price is steep but it's such a unique experience I could easily recommend.

"Where's the rest?" That pretty much sums up my entire feeling afterwards. Don't get me wrong, being "inside" an anime was pretty awesome, from just looking around in scenes, to looking up skirts. I really enjoyed what was there, but it was a demo at best. I thought my game was frozen at some intro credits, but looking at the reviews here, I discovered it was ending credits. This is definitely not worth it, this should've been a free demo. I bought it at 50% off and I still feel ripped off. As cool as the idea is, I can't recommend this lame demo selling as a product.

OK. I do not want me not recommending this game to influence you. This has opened my eyes to the potential of manga in VR and it is amazing. Firstly the only reason I am not recommending the game is because it is short, only entails about the first chapter of the manga, and is not worth the price tag. (I bought it 50% off) I recommend just reading the manga instead. That being said the experience was top notch and I absolutely hope that this format gets continued in the future. I recommend only buying this game if you have a spare 20 bucks just lying around or if it is on sale like is is as of writing this review.....

To be fair, this is only Chapter 1 of Tales of Wedding Rings. That being said, I still enjoyed the adaptation with a handful of 360 degree scenes and all comic panels animated and dynamic. The soundtrack adds to the emotion, and the voice acting seems great (though I am not e fluent speaker, I still understood a lot of it and and enjoyed the tone conveyed by the characters. I hope they choose to continue the adaptation. ...And, they did not. The amazing concept of an immersive Manga died on the vine. good luck Square Eniix with you next FF game. Would have loved to seee a continuatio on this one...

Game doesn't work, click start and its just a permanent black screen with nothing happening. All I can see are my controllers and nothing else, no sound no visuals, nothing. Don't buy in 2024 unless they fix it.
