The Martian VR Experience

Eine fantastische VR Erfahrung die mit etwa 25 Minuten etwas kurz ausgefallen ist. Grafisch und gameplay technisch ist "The Martian" auf ziemlich hohem Niveau. Für Fans des Films ist es durchaus empfehlenswert. Wem die 20€ zu viel sind, kann ja warten bis es im sale günstiger wird. Allerdings ist der Originale Film auf BluRay auch nicht billiger und man kann nicht interaktiv als Hauptcharakter mitmischen.

Requested refund. 19.99 is far far too much for what turns out to be such a shallow promotional product. Even if I were prompted to try this for free in a cinema lobby or at some kind of convention - which is exactly the kind of product this feels like - I would come away extremely underwhelmed, and probably confused as to what the fuss over VR is. It is mostly an FMV game, in which you watch clips from the movie floating in front of you, with the lightest of VR gameplay possible tacked on at intervals. From the very first moments alarm bells start ringing when you're prompted to awkwardly hold out your arms and look at a small target to calibrate. Even worse are follow-up moments in which you're a disembodied camera speeding over a landscape, then disorientatingly locked to the character's motion. I was presented with a table of potatoes that I could pick up and throw into buckets, but was at a loss as to what to do once there was nothing left, as just sat around looking for more "game" until it eventually decided to load up another few clips. This game seems to be full of bad choices that break VR Design 101, I would not be using this as a representation of VR's capabilites to anyone. Even by the already overpriced standards of VR titles, this is a complete ripoff, there is no value here.
