Unearthing Mars VR

Good adventure simulator game. Allows you to interact and be part of the story. Graphics are very nice. Controls are fairly easy. Tutorials show you what to do whenever you have to do something new. I didn't finish the game yet. I think I made it to chapter 4. At the beginning of the game you start off playing chapter 9 so I guess there are at least 9 chapters. Overall, a nice fun immersive experience, on Mars. There is no locomotion except teleporting to predetermined spots which, yes, isn't great but it did not take any enjoyment away for me. The environments were enough to suck me in. There is no real purpose to go traversing the Mars lanscape with specific missions being done anyhow. For $15 dollars it is worth a buy if you like adventure games, simulators, Mars , robots, controlling rovers and having a nice looking pilot flying you around. On sale this is a definate buy. From what I played so far I give it 8/10. Video of first play here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1324515967

I can take only 0 minutes of this BS. I was expecting some spectating and lazy travelling. Instead the first thing I got was SHOOTING GIANT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ROBOTS AND DRONES! Really? and it's not even well done. Ok, maybe I've bought an arcade shooter to show off VR graphics? Whatever, let's see how it'll go. Oh, no. We're through 3 cutscenes that lasts for like 40 minutes. Devs have no clue how spinning gravity generators work, and you're standing on a roof with constantly changing lightning, while it should be static. Lazy team members act like 12 years olds who have no idea how fast you speak in real life. Interraction with the globe is unintuitive. Then you have that blue corridor explaning that Fobos collided Mars. Ok, but let me skip this crap please! It's another 10 minutes of watching! Now we're in a cockpit. Totally stupid and lazy conversations. Very bad made interraction with cockpit elements. And 2 reply options - one lie, another is truth with third "let me check again" option that restarts the last conversation. Wtf? I can't sit through this any longer. It's BORING! I'd like my refund, but I bought this in advance for my vacation. So no refund for you, ♥♥♥♥♥!

A real mismatch of a game. The overall idea is quite good but is very poorly implemented. It seems at times like a series of disjointed ideas and gameplay mechanics just bolted together in order to produce a finished game. There are some impressive graphics at times along with some decent puzzle solving but this is coupled with levels of frustrating game mechanics and poor movement options, with little thought to providing an immersive experience. Overall I would only recommend if buying it cheap in a sale.

Imho, this is a Sci-Fi VR "short story". As such it was pretty good. It's a guided narrative allowing you to experience the story as well as hear it. Similar to how the Voltron Chronicles is. I like the future of story telling! My only real complaint is that it could have been longer: the story had a lot of potential.

Grenzwertig. Durch den passablen Preis gibt es noch positiv. Tolle Atmosphäre und Grafik, allerdings schwaches Gameplay und die Shooter-Passagen sind ein schlechter Witz. Zweiter Teil wird getestet!

If you are down to a lightweight adventure game with a nice fictional mystery theme, e.g. the mars's past, were there life forms before, possible traces of ancient civilizations, etc., you shouldn't skip this game. But you should also be ready to be patient for the common typical glitches of early vr games and lack of free locomotion in order to enjoy this experience. I liked it and finished it in three hours in one session, enjoying everything possible. It gave me the exact same taste as another vr game "Ryte - The Eye of Atlantis" with its fictional mysterious story, light puzzles, matching nice background music, nice views only possible to enjoy in VR, and of course, typical indie vr game flaws.

:) i enjoyed it!

This game is so far the worst i've played with VR, even worse than Freediver. Movement is mostly teleportation (i'm okay with this part). Voice acting is as good as might expect from a 8€ game. The 'commander' npc walks so slow that you actually fall asleep waiting for her. A quick tip for anyone. Keep teleporting forward, so the commander npc continues the story, or else you will have to wait untill she arrives, and you would probably be retired by then

C'est une histoire originale où j'ai adoré être co-pilote d'une petite navette spatiale atterrissant sur Mars ! Je conseille aux futures personnes qui joueront de laissez une chaise proche de votre chaperone : une fois le chapitre 2 fini, relever votre casque, attrapez-là et asseyez-vous, ainsi vous serez complètement immergée dans le chapitre 3. Les commandes ne sont pas expliquées en montrant les boutons sur un contrôleur du type que j'utilisais (Valve index), mais on s'y retrouve facilement. Sur les différents aspects du jeux (musique, finesse des détails...), j'ai souvent fait le même constat : c'est bien, mais ça pourrait être significativement amélioré. Ce n'est pas moche non plus, j'ai beaucoup apprécié ce jeu qui dure environ 2h. Au niveau de la traduction en français, il y a des petits trucs à améliorer. Par exemple on dit "Jour J-1", "Heure H-2"... mais le jeu dit toujours "H-3 minutes", "H-5 secondes". Quand je parle de Catherine, je dis "La Capitaine" (et quand il y a elle + une autre personne, je ne dis pas "les gars"). Sur les manchettes de journaux qui défilent, je n'aurais pas mis que de l'anglais et du chinois, mais une grande variété de langues, pour renforcer l'impression "C'est une nouvelle qui a fait le tour du monde !".

Oculus Quest 2にて昨日クリアしました。★で評価するなら3.5位だと思います。 少なくともクリアまでプレイしようと思わせるだけの質はあると思います。 ただ、他の方も書かれていましたが、 本作はゲームというよりはインタラクティブ性のあるVR映画という感じです。 操作性は良くもなければ酷いというほどでもないレベルです。 慣れは必要ですがストレスを感じるほど悪くもないです。 ただ、ゲーム部分に関しては唐突に色々操作させられる上、操作に関する説明が不十分なので、 いきなり「は？」となるシーンが何か所かありました。 テーマは宇宙物のSF好きには大好物の一つで、基本的なストーリーラインも良いと思います。 ただ、ストーリーも説明不足で、結局細かいことは分からずに終わりました。 私はプレイ時間と価格に関しては、映画と思えば妥当だったと思います。 ですが、操作系、ストーリー展開の進め方等、雑な部分が多々あり、それがマイナスになっています。 おそらくLone Echoのスタッフがこの素材でゲーム化したら大傑作になったと思います。 それくらいベースのストーリーラインや背景は悪くないと思います。 ちなみにストーリーはある程度自分の想像で補えますが、できれば丁寧に描いて欲しかったです。 音声が日本語であることと、テーマ曲など一部の音楽はかなり良かったです。 VR酔いも基本的に無いと思います。 宇宙物のSF、火星、古代文明、異星人文明などに関心がある方で、 多少の問題には目をつぶってでもその手のVRゲームをやりたい方は私同様それなりに楽しめると思います。 せっかく良いベースなので、もう少し丁寧に作ればいいのに、勿体ないなぁという感じです。 とはいえ、グロくない、怖くない、難しすぎないSF探索系ゲームって選択肢が少ないと思うので、 メーカーには感謝しています。
