The First Settlement VR

Just hopped in and played for 30 minutes to test and seems to be everything as advertised so far. Performance is great with ultra settings on Quest 3, 12600K / 4070 Super, Virtual Desktop. Had about 25 buildings with several people walking around, no stutters at all and solid framerate. Some of the graphic setting such as footsteps didn't seem to be showing up but nothing game breaking so far. The graphics could use some tweaks as well, seems to be something "off" with them no matter low or ultra. Also only 1 save file right now, hopefully this can be increased. If you want a chill casual city builder in VR this is probably for you. Nothing fancy just a simple game.

I was looking forward for the release of the game. So I was really excited when I finally got the notification that it was out. And what can I say – the anticipation was absolutely justified. This is a game that, for a change, isn’t about fighting or conflict. Instead, it’s all about doing something good for your villagers. You're welcomed by a relaxing soundtrack and immediately get to take your first steps in this peaceful world – deciding where to place your buildings and in what order to expand. It’s really satisfying to watch your village grow and see the villagers going about their daily routines. It’s the perfect game to unwind with after work, letting you simply relax and stroll through the little world you've created. Of course, it’s still in alpha, so not everything is perfect yet – but with a look at the roadmap, many improvements are already in progress and will make the experience even more polished over time. Clear recommendation from me for anyone who enjoys city-building games and wants to take a break from everyday life with a few relaxing minutes of gameplay.

The First Settlement VR offers a relaxing and immersive city-building experience in a charming medieval setting. Building and managing your settlement in VR feels intuitive and engaging, with great attention to detail and atmosphere. A very enjoyable experience for VR and strategy fans.

A cool game with relaxing background music. Perfect for switching off and escaping reality. Colorful design, not perfect everywhere, but incredibly well done. From the point at which the needs of the citizens increase, you really have to pay a bit of attention to satisfy them. Very well implemented with changing music and visual signals. I'm looking forward for many hours of fun :-)

The First Settlement VR macht insgesamt einen guten Eindruck und fühlt sich in VR angenehm immersiv an. Der Aufbau der eigenen Siedlung funktioniert, man ist schnell drin und hat Spaß am Ausprobieren. Mit weiteren Updates, mehr Inhalt und etwas Optimierung kann hier noch richtig was draus werden. Die Basis stimmt auf jeden Fall. Wer VR-Aufbau-Spiele mag, sollte es im Auge behalten.

Great indie game! I felt like I was placed into a 1st person version of “The Settlers” (I loved playing Settlers II in the 90s). When the game is started, you are asked to choose the difficulty by the amount of starting money you’re given. Ballsy, I chose the lowest amount (you know, experience and stuff) and let’s just say I’m happy the villager’s disappointment didn’t lead to my crucifixion. Starting with enough money gives you the time and calm to build in peace that I was looking for in the beginning. In my 3rd round I started experimenting with roads, structuring my village and developing it into a striving city, since my first two attempts were kind of messy. Much better now! The overview is handy (just literally look at the back of your hands), and it’s fun building and expanding. If only those villagers wouldn’t need so much alcohol and tobacco, these greedy addicts! Sure, there’s always potential to improve, but I see this as a benefit of indie games, being able to give suggestions to the developer that are impossible to do for triple A games. I’ll now check out the next update, let’s see what this will bring!

I lasted about seven minutes. Looks and feels like Baby's First VR Game. The tutorial doesn't actually teach you much and when I tried to interact with the first and only 'most important' building I accidentally deleted it. Couldn't figure out how to rebuild the damn thing. I had high hopes for this and it ended up being so disappointingly subpar I had to give up. It needs a LOT of work to even be palatable. I've played games on the original Atari that explained things better. If they can figure out what an interface is and how they're supposed to work, and get a tutorial that actually tutors players by giving details instead of just vaguely gesturing into the distance (seriously, "that building over there" on a text window that makes you face a different direction?), then maybe this could be a lot of fun. Not to mention movement speed was painfully slow. I'm old, crippled, and half blind and I can shuffle faster than movement in this game. Even your in-game perspective is wrong; either your face is practically hugging the dirt or you're ten feet tall. Pick a lane or pick a decent middle. I really hope it gets better someday. But as of right now? It's a "Haha No.". It's *Refunded After SEVEN Minutes* bad. Heartbreaking.

This game offers a relaxing VR experience for players who enjoy building and peaceful village creation. The colorful graphics and calm, soothing soundtrack contribute to a tranquil atmosphere. With a focus on settlement-building without conflict, it provides a refreshing escape. While there is room for small improvements, the overall experience is promising, and it has the potential for many enjoyable hours in the future. The first impression is positive.

Gefällt mir sehr gut. Steuerung und Grafik sind absolut Perfekt. Macht riesig Spaß und ist total Entspannend. Lob an den Entwickler. Hoffe kommt noch was an Updates.
