This may as well be a video; the VR adds nothing to the experience and in fact makes it more awkward to use - it seems no thought was given to anyone who might want to experience this sitting down as neither control scheme works particularly well (and even if you're standing up, whoever thought that having movement limited to forwards and backwards with no "strafing" needs a smack; one stick for turning, one stick for moving, it's not hard!) - and even if it was a video it would be very boring. Maybe the German narrator is more lively, but the English one is slow and lacking in any kind of enthusiasm and it feels like one of those weird "AI generated narration over stock footage" channels that pollute YouTube these days. Visuals are unspectacular - textures are lifeless (for example the shiny gold foil on the lunar lander is just a flat diffuse texture; it's 2025, we've had specular and normal maps for decades now) and it all feels a bit meh. Still, it's free, and if you've got 15 minutes to kill it's not the worst thing out there.
Cool and informative game. It is fun to explore the hub, the castle and the moon with the free DLC's. Downsides: it was a bit nauseating to play with the Quest 2, at least for me. And the voice and some paintings are made with AI, which is always a bit of a bummer, but it's not too bad in this case. The environments are very well made and the information given is very interesting. There are also quizzes and some fun minigames. It's free, so it's worth a try. Just remember to download both of the free DLC's.

A great virtual reality experience with high quality graphics, interactive and with lots of information. And there are free scenarios.
This game is both informative and educational, featuring beautiful graphics and intriguing interactive objects. I hope they release DLC in the future so we can explore more places.
Visually its awesome, but there need to be many many MANY more graphics options. Since there are near to none, playing wireless on a Quest 2 with an old 2070, caused a lot of frame rate loss. Even in the spots where it flows smooth, there is something about the FOV that causes a tiny bit of motion sickness. The Apollo 11 part was great. The castle, boring. Except in the castle you can move around. On the moon, they take that ability away. Not sure what the thinking was behind that. And every time I want to look at the earth from the moon, there's a background tile that covers it unless you look at precisely the right spot. Even that wouldn't be so immersion breaking except then you always have this large arrow telling you where you should be looking. Its VR. Shouldn't I be able to look where I want? The castle mini game was kind of fun. The Apollo mini game wasn't bad but would have been much more fun landing the actual lander. Which should have been possible considering the graphics and controls in other areas like the museum. But its free and a worthwhile VR experience so give it a go.
Игра TimeLab - это увлекательное и захватывающее приключение в научно-фантастическом сеттинге. Сюжет, повествующий о путешествиях во времени и исправлении исторических ошибок, держит в напряжении от начала и до конца. Разнообразные временные эпохи, от древнего Рима до футуристических городов, прекрасно проработаны и отличаются уникальной атмосферой. Геймплей представляет собой смесь головоломок, экшена и элементов RPG. Задачи, требующие не только ловкости, но и логического мышления, органично вплетены в повествование. Система развития персонажа позволяет адаптировать героя под свой стиль прохождения, а возможность выбора влияет на развитие сюжета и концовку. Визуально игра выглядит привлекательно, хотя и не хватает полировки в некоторых деталях. Музыкальное сопровождение создает нужное настроение и подчеркивает динамику событий. В целом, TimeLab – это достойный представитель жанра, который способен увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям приключений во времени и качественных игр!
Cool, um VR das erste mal zu testen.
Schön gemacht und geglückter Start von TimeLab! Bisher gibt es (nur) zwei Orte, die man besuchen kann. Diese sind schön gemacht, interessant und lehrreich. Auch das "TimeLab" selbst ist schön aufgebaut und der Ablauf interessant (also Modul einstecken, reisen, Quiz machen, Minispiele etc.) Es fehlen aber weitere Inhalte (Module) und mit denen steht und fällt dieses Konzept. Sind es interessante Orte, die sich die Leute auch kaufen werden? Sind die Minispiele gut (die aktuellen sind nicht der Rede wert)? Wie viele Orte wird es geben? Seit Release vor ca. 9 Monaten hat sich jedenfalls nichts getan. Aktuell ist es aber komplett kostenlos, daher auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert und mal zum Reinschauen - 20 bis 40 Minuten kann man sich damit schon beschäftigen.

A brilliant VR history simulator. Exploring meticulously recreated moments like the Apollo 11 landing is both educational and deeply immersive. A truly unique way to experience the past.
