"VR Patients" is barely a game, it's more of an educational trainer for EMTs. Here's the thing, if an ambulance rolls up and the guy gets out wearing a Vive and says "No need to worry, I learned how to be a paramedic from Steam!" I'm going to tell him to get stuffed, I'll take my chances.
Anyway, barely a game, certainly nothing of any real value as a game for gamers on Steam, and of course VR exclusive because, uh, when I think training doctors, I think Oculus Rift? I suppose this is well intentioned, but at the same time, it's unclear why they decided to use Steam for this. It's not really a game, it's not fun, you have better things to do with your time.
The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here.
Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game.
Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable.
Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 10 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.
Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?
Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, that's nothing.
