Good experience if you are a fan of the film, but way overpriced for 20 minutes that you are very likely to only sit through once
Pricy but still quite enjoyable. It would be great if the movie playback scenes were in stereoscopic 3D
This is a failure. Maybe I should have realized it says "experience" in the title. It felt like about 15 min of content. About one minutes worth was really cool. The rest was a waste of time. The most interactivity was throwing potatoes into buckets.
I LOVE this but could you make a mode where you build your own base and explore mars? Because once you play this game once your bored with it.
Maybe a 1.9€ short experience. NOT 19.99€!!
Does not portray the movie in anyway except for the movie cutscenes. Story isn't like the movie at all, don't know about the book. Too simple gameplay. Is this really all you could do? Sure graphics look good but I don't know if that should be the main point. Didn't know it was a thing that you could tear your spaceship apart with 3 huge buttons in the center of the console.
I'm impressed at just how bad this was. The bad arm kinematics was mildly amusing. The scenes were minimally interactive. You can pick up rocks or press buttons/pull switches. This is the worst interpretation of The Martian since the first audio book where "ASCII" was read as "ASC2".
Should be a free 'demo' honestly. Not much to this "experience." Just another over-sensualized product that FOX is trying to make every penny from. SO many cinematics! Not nearly enough interaction. This could be a great thing, so I hope someone out there can appreciate detail like this, but actually make something worth while. That said, the design was the game's best quality.
Something like 25 minutes of "VR" experience. But, from those 20 minutes, at least 10 are 2d movies on planes (taken from original movie). Overall quality is also quite bad - just look at cubemp for sky in first minutes - badly photoshopped. Textures of Mars are pixelized.. particle effects are also quite bad.. and so on.. and on.. a list continues.. overall, inconsistent assets that look like they were taken from assetstore. I don't know who made this, but looks more like a one man project. This is really a bad publicity for VR , that can give a lot more.
I bought this for $5 and knew going into it that it was a short 15 - 20 minute VR experience. I enjoyed the overall VR Mars experience and the recap of the movie. The activities were fairly bland, but I expected that. Overall it was a mildly interesting experience, but I was glad it was only $5.
