The Grand Canyon VR Experience

Short Review: The boat locomotion is terrably slow and unrealistic. Giant waste of time. The graphics are about what you'd expect from a VR game, and the gameplay is nothing special. Long Review: This game made me look up how to refund games on steam. I was only able to play for the first few minutes because I couldn't get anywhere. You can only teleport to certain locations, and then you're forced into a boat that you have to row yourself, which wouldn't be a negative if it was realistic. Here I am making these big broad gestures with my arms and I'm only moving an inch or two per swing. I swear it would have taken me a half an hour just to get to the other side of the lake. That doesn't even count the fact that I have no idea where to go. Is the starting area the only area in the game? I don't know, and I wasn't about to spend half an hour rowing accross a lake to find out. If the boat had some sort of automation or if you could teleport anywhere (like in other VR games) i probably would have kept this game, but the locomition system makes it unplayable. The graphics and gameplay are nothing special, and they don't make up for the horrible locomotion. Use your money to buy some other VR game...

Wow, just WOW! One of the most relaxing and immersive experiences I ever had... so nice to just chill out in this world. Night time is definitly my fav

A very enjoyable VR experience, but definitely not a game, but I am perfectly happy with that. I just wish steam offered a VR Experiences category, that way those people that only want games would stop being disappointed. Firstly, lets address a few of the complains people seem to have firstly price, play time: I have now had 2 full play throughs sessions of this game trying both day and night modes taking my time and stopping from time to time to soak up the experience and I have clocked up 1.5 Hours of play time for £6.99 so from my point of view the price seems fair as its about the same price as downloading a movie. But I also except if you rush round and only play this ones or miss the night or day modes and just play one time off day going at full boat speed you can finish this much quicker, but I think you would be missing the point. Secondly, I would say the graphics are quite good for a VR game, but live all games and experiences the resolution is limited by the current generation of high end graphics cards and VR headsets. The only thing I do feel a Grand Canyon VR experience could do with is a second view from above to give a better feeling of scale.

Beautiful experience. A+ If you're into VR tours and zen experiences, this is must. Also see Spacetours VR.

Beautiful but short trip through the environment with day/night cycle. Kayak mechanics work very well, but I would prefer being able to move around more freely. Visuals and sound quality is good. Little opportunity for interaction apart from feeding the fish. There is some (but not a lot of) animal life.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ control

It is very short for now. but the price is only $2 so yeah this is a little good VR experience. Worth the price.

I really enjoy it. I wouldn't have called it "Grand Canyon" because honestly you don't get the sense that you are in the bottom of the Grand Canyon... but it is a very well done simulation of a "red rock canyon" of somewhere in the American Southwest. 4/5 stars from me. Not bad for a few dollars! I just wish there were more VR experiences like this.

One of the worst VR experience soo far. Rowing with the Vive controls are just a pain. Sorry but I don't really get the point here..

It's cool to look around in a natural setting in the grand canyon from the viewpoint of a kayak tour however there isn't enough presentation quality or detail to feel immersed.
