Thunderbird: The Legend Begins

This game has alot of promise and does look like it could be a great game, it was on my wish list since the early videos appeared as it looked great, but unfortunatly it is really short. and I mean REALLY short. My experience was this: Game loads and I get asked if i want roomscale or standing, I went for the standing option and i get shown how to teleport. The teleportation is standard stuff thats in alot of VR games so I jumped a couple of times and wanted to start the game waiting for it to continue. it was only until I had satisfied the game and teleported several times more that it presented me with the start option. Looking at the word "start" did nothing and pressing a few buttons on the controller only gave me Resolution options (which was nice), but I was unable to change the resolution.. I managed to discover that scrolling on the track pad highlighted a different resolution to pick, but I couldnt actually select it. Finally i found that I was just off the games "prefered" standing position (which is marked on the floor) - finally I could get into the game. Now, other than a very short clip of the game with the first puzzle I hadnt watched any other videos about the game - dont want to spoil a puzzle game by seeing other people complete the puzzles and make the game a walk through. The game loads and the first puzzle is solved within a few seconds and i went onto the next.. the game is quite dimly lit after the first puzzle, so there isnt much in the way of amazing views. The second puzzle (no spoilers) was very obvious and again it was just a few seconds to solve. The 3rd puzzle got me for the longest time out of all of the puzzles, but as soon as I saw 1 item it all fell into place and that was solved. 4th Puzzle was solved within a few seconds once again I do hope they add more do this game as it does look good, but if you want to see what you get for your money at the moment (and see the puzzles solved), UploadVR has the entire game in 12 minutes on Youtube (which was uploaded over a year ago 12/Jan/2016). After the Youtube video ends, in the actual game it says "to be continued" and you get the credits. At the moment this game feels like a Demo. I really do hope they add more at some point. My total play time for this (including going through the teleportation tutorial) was 23 minutes - 5 minutes was before and game play + setting up broardcasting (twice, first time failed) so a friend could watch

The main issue with this game is that it's extremely short, about 20 minutes tops, so it's up to you if that's worth the money. It also didn't run that well on my minimum spec system.

[u]Positive Merkmale:[/u] [list] [*] Tolle mythische Atmosphäre [*] Grafisch für VR-Verhältnisse sehr gut [*] Soundeffekte kräftig und passend [/list] [u]Negative Merkmale:[/u] [list] [*] Sehr stark verbugt! [*] Man glitcht aus den Räumen und landet in weißen Räumen [*] Steuerung klappt nicht immer (Schalter "klappen" wieder ungewollt zurück) [*] Rätsel scheinen unlösbar durch Bugs, die bestimmte Ereignisse verhindern [*] Zu teuer für die paar Minuten [/list] Eigentlich ein relativ solides Adventure mit guter Grafik, interessanter mythischer Atmosphäre und guten Soundeffekten. Die Rätsel scheinen etwas einfach, was sich aber sich im späteren Spiel noch ändert. Was aber gar nicht geht sind die Unmengen an Bugs. Weder die Steuerung funktioniert gut (Schalter und "Räder" schnappen sehr oft ungewollt wieder in ihre Ausgangsposition), noch kann man sich sicher sein, dass man ein Rätsel richtig angeht, weil man durch Bugs vom richtigen Weg abkommt. In meinem Beispiel war ich auf einmal in einem weißen Raum, das war wohl ein Glitch. Zudem konnte ich fast das Tür-Farben-Rätsel nicht lösen, da der Lichtkreis mal klein wurde und mal einfach nicht. Zudem ist der Preis sehr hoch für die paar Minuten. Das Spiel hat Potential, aber es müssen dringend die Bugs beseitigt werden!! Ich habe auch ein Let's Play in meinem [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ok91FKp_SAtxhz63Ti3KQ]YouTube-Kanal[/url] aufgenommen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aVV2XHxk4w

Games and experiences like these are exactly why I wanted VR in the first place! This is the best teaser ever...

L'expérience à 6 euros, consiste à déplacer deux miroirs ! une honte !

el Juego es una demostracion muy cortita de lo que podria ser el juego si llega a desarrollarse, basandose en resolver puzzles para poder ir avanzando, si se mejora la calidad grafica, y angunos problemas tecnicos de movimiento, podria ser uno de los grandes juegos, ya que los entornos i la inmersion podria ser digna de calidad. No recomiendo la demo, pues es muy corta, pero si recomiendo hacer un seguimiento por si llega a desarrollarse en su totalidad.

Puzzles are way to simple (literally 10 seconds) or buggy and baffling. Its just not fun.

SPOILER: Be advised this "game" goes no further than getting you in the front door. The game looks like it will be pretty fun, but it is a very short experience if you are familiar with this type of puzzle mechanic. It says "to be continued" at the completion. Well, I am certainly looking forward to seeing more. 12 minutes of play is what you get right now. I am told more gameplay will be added for no additional cost, so perhaps it is not a bad deal if you want to take an early peek. edited: To be less negative due to active developer responses.

Fantastic experience with great graphics, beautiful light effects and interesting puzzles. There is a constant feeling of suspense in the air while you are exploring a long lost secret temple hidden within the mountain. Use of music and sound effects are great and adds to the suspension. On the flip side: The menu select at the start could have been more intuitive. Its also not clear how to start the game when entering the snowy landscape at the very start. Handling of the mirror inside is a bit awkward, almost to the point of being bugged. Currently the game is very short (It says "to be continued") and Im eagerly looking forward to experiencing more content. Can't wait to travel deeper into the mountain and reveal more of it secrets!

Way too short for the pricetag, also very frustrating mechanics. Lights are very difficult to move and line up.
