The Gallery - Episode 1: Call of the Starseed

Paid ~£2 during sale, still would NOT recommend this game, even at that price. Control scheme is abysmal ! That is enough to ruin any fun you might have got from this game.

i heard the call and the star was truely seeded in the first episode

This game plays like a VR version of the point and click adventure games. You go around interacting with the environment and finding the way to solve simple puzzles to be able to continue. Personally, I found the very first puzzle to be the least obvious one. It was smooth sailing afterwards, but I was about to give up on the game altogether. I'm glad I didn't, because the story is compelling and well exposed. There are also times in which an annoying NPC keeps talking, trying to pressure the player to move forward, while you are trying to listen to a cassette. Small issues aside, this is a very interesting short adventure that is well worth experiencing.

My mind was blown by that one composer from Skyrim and Freddie Fish, if I ever get abducted, It would be honoured with your music, sir

Played using HTC Vive Pro/Vive wands/RTX2060Super.A very nice game, looks great. The puzzles aren't that hard, except maybe for the last one with the transistors (I almost gave up on that). Could have had some more puzzles though and the ending of this episode is not really my thing, but we'll have to see if it fits right into episode 2.Liked the inventory system very well.I does show it age in the movement system as I like teleporting, but the way they implemented it seems a little bit off, but still works pretty decent (let's not forget this game is almost 7 years old and still much better as a lot of the current VR games).Got it in a sale a long time ago, and I must say that the 12,50 euro's it costs if not on sale would be too steep for me, but then again, I have a limit of 5 euro's per game, with only a very few exceptions.

In short, wonderful trash. Why? Well from the presentation/graphics side it all looks very slick.. But the minute you are in the game you will have two question. Is the person who developed the motion code still employed and if so why.. Just to thing the amount of effort spend on making a game to then completely f-it up on the movement code/setup is just bewildering. Tried fixing the issues in the menu but to no avail. A well, just put it in the lemon folder and forgive and look at episode two to see if they perhaps learned... (see episode two)

CZAS GRY: Ukończenie gry bez osiągnięć, to jakieś 2 godziny, ale jeśli chcesz wymaksować, to przyjdzie Ci grać dłużej. GRAFIKA: Grafika jest niezła, jak na ogół produkcji i rok powstania 2016, a klimat lochów i machin, oraz imienia protagonistki "Alex" przypomina nieco najważniejszy tytuł VR w historii od twórców Steam'a. Gra oparta jest o historię, która ma kontynuację w drugiej części gry. WYDAJNOŚĆ I STEROWANIE: Na Oculus Quest 2 gra działa na maksymalnych ustawieniach, a jej wydajność jest zależna od karty graficznej (3060 Ti) Na Oculus Quest 2 grę można uruchomić przez AirLink zarówno w trybie SteamVR jak i Oculus VR i ten drugi sposób polecam, bo sterowanie jest o wiele lepsze. Nie da się włączyć literek, więc niektóre kwestie dialogowe oraz nagrania z kaset zawierające podpowiedzi mogą Ci umknąć. CEL GRY: Gra polega na przemierzaniu lokacji i rozwiązywania łamigłówek na podstawie obserwacji otoczenia oraz wskazówek na kartkach i taśmach. Nie ma wrogów i nie można zginąć. Autozapis jest wykonywany co rozdział, czyli chyba około 5 razy w trakcie gry. CENA: Jeżeli lubisz gry eksploracyjno-łamigłówkowe, to ten tyluł jest do konieczny ogrania na VR, ale poczekaj na promocje cenowe - 20 zł za jedną lub 35-40 za obie części to uczciwa cena.

Do not buy this garbage. Blink locomotion is attrocious. Gameplay nearly non-existent. Graphics constantly glitch or are illegible. Pretentious storyline that cliffhangs you and has zero interaction with large periods of waiting. The trailer shows the game in a far better light than you'll experience it. Watch the trailer once and realize you had a superior experience to those who played it.

I enjoyed it. Only thing I didn't like was Blink being the only locomotion option. Wasn't bad though. Worth it to play out the story and be up to date for Episode 2. Episode 2 blew me away! Some say these games haven't aged well but I have played dozens of newer VR titles and the 2 episodes together outshine many of them in my opinion.

Wurde nie fertiggestellt...
