Technolust

Update to my review... Starting with load bug crash fix The developer is quick with the response to our issue and has said for now if you run the game via the exe in the games folder then the crash bug will no longer be an issue and they will work on a permenent fix to allow it to launch through steam.. And as for the snap turining there is an option in the menus to turn it off....So with that all sorted i can safely say this game is truly awesome and a must have for any virtual reality fan as its by far one of the best experiences out there :)

Iam a huge fan of cyber steampunk 80s stuff and I bought that game because it promised me to dive in such a world. And it delivers. I can fully recommend this game if you you are in search for cyber steampunk feeling. but there are some points you need to know: 1. you still cant start the game from steam because it with crash - but the workaround works (start the .exe file directly). 2. the VR experience is incomplete. You can move ingame by moving in real life (oculus roomscale works fine) - if you have a large enough room, long enough cables and no problem with breaking your nose when running against a wall or strangle yourself with the cables. after a while i gave up and sat down and moved around with the xbox controller (no sickness issues for me). Also you interact with the gameworld by looking at something and press a button on your x-box controller. that feels more like a point&click game, not like a complete VR experience. i think you need the touch controller and a simulation of your hand position for this type of game. 3. the difficulty level... well there is no difficulty. you just advance through the game. it doesnt have to be a bad thing. I have played all 3 Shadowrun games and they too had no difficulty level at all and they are among my favorite games. 4. It is a Indie game and with it come some limitations. nothing that reduce the overall experience, but dont expect a multi million dollar aaa title when you pay 20€/$. the game is very strong in delivering a cyber steampunk feeling. 5. all VR games seem to be pretty "flat" when it comes to game mechanics and story telling. they all feel like someone had a cool idea and made a techdemo and then tried to build a game around that techdemo. all VR games i have played so far are very polished and with high amount of nice little details everywhere, just with no depth. Technolust is no exception. I like it and i would probably buy a sequal, but if i compare it with a 20€ shadowrun game, there is so much more gameplay in flat games of the same price class. its almost like all the budget is spent for researching VR possibilitys and building the enviroment and nothing is left for creating content.

[i]DISCLAIMER: I've worked on some of the artwork in Technolust. However these opinions are my own![/i] Meatspace got you down? Then spend some time in Technolust! Technolust is a cyberpunk style adventure narrative experience for VR and it is REALLY awesome, if you like Bladerunner or The Fifth Element then you'll love this. Technolust is very replayable and there is lots to explore and do, it's also great to just spend time in and take in the futuristic dystopian cityscape. I've personally spent hours and hours just chilling in the safehouse admiring the vast cityscapes when meatspace got me down. I'd highly reccomend Technolust, launch issues are only temporary and will be fixed.

Poorly implemented. You can walk through things. No game settings (that are obvious). Poor game mechanics and abrupt ending. It's really short just like this review.

If you enjoyed Blade Runner, Total Recall or Johnny Mnemonic, you'll probably like Technolust. It has incredible music and great environments that really make you feel like you're trapped in a 90s vision of a dystopian future. Before playing this game, I've got to warn you: It's not action-packed (except in the arcade minigames), and it won't hold your hands. It's an exploration game, and while it's possible to sprint to the ending in relatively little time, you're going to have a lot more fun if you slow down and try everything in the environment. There's a reason the world is full of collectables, arcade games, TVs and advertising - Technolust is about getting you immersed, and it does an exceptional job at that. It's the first first-person VR game I've played that hasn't given me sudden motion sickness, and there is even a "cloudwalk" mode that further reduced camera movement for when I felt a bit out of place.

This is a great VR experiance. It is the most entertaining thing I've done in VR so far. Is it long, unfortunatly, no. Is it worth the price? yes. Its not a 70 dollar AAA title with 150 worth of DLC but I got my moneys worth. I loved the atmosphere. I love d the flow and the use of VR landscapes. I love the cyberpunk and the music! I want to strongly encourage the developers of this game to continue forward and make a LONGER game. I'll save up 60 dollars for that one! Awesome game.

please can you sort out the jerky turning other wise its a good game

Technolust no es realmente un juego acabado. Es una experiencia de realidad virtual bastante inmersiva y muy bien ambientada, aunque da la impresión de ser un trabajo comenzado con muchas ganas pero que ha desbordado en todos los sentidos al equipo desarrollador hasta ser lanzado con prisas y ya no sin acabar, sino casi sin empezar. Es poco más que una demo técnica de lo que serán los juegos vr en el corto plazo. Technolust está sobrevalorado en extremo y con un precio muy elevado para lo que ofrece. Buena ambientación, buena banda sonora, si eres fan del ambiente Blade Runner te gustará. En sus mecánicas, sin embargo, falla estrepitosamente: nula interactividad, niveles de tamaño mínimo, puntos de guardado cada minuto, puzzles ridículos y sin sentido... La historia tampoco es nada del otro mundo. Como experiencia inmersiva y una vez jugado no pagaría más de 5 € por él. Los usuarios de Vive frustrados por no poder jugarlo no os preocupéis, no es para tanto. Si queréis algo que realmente sí es un juego, con mecánicas similares (de pasear, admirar escenarios, resolver puzzles, historia y un toque de survival), mirad el Solus Project. Infinitamente mejor en todos los sentidos. (El tiempo de juego que me aparece es erróneo, el juego tiene un bug hace meses que impide jugar desde steam, y que por cierto no arreglan)

Poor support for Vive... Uh, I mean no support for the Vive although the dev was 'working on it' last year.
