This game is great fun. Nice to survive/build up your empire, repair without killing yourself about resources, and fun fighting. Valheim is a perfect cross between rust and any awesome adventure game where pvp a-holes aren't trying to steal your stuff.

This is the best game ever made... do not miss your chance to live and die in night city.

It's everything we need it to be...

Everspace = FTL as FPS with AAA graphics.. with a touch of RPG!

It's absolutely awesome.

The perfect game for FTL or Privateer lovers.. the controls grew on me quickly, and I find it a great blessing to finally rock my FPS wsad skills in space combat.

The gameplay is action packed, but intuitive. The permadeath Rouge-like upgrade system nearly makes this RPG, and will keep my attention for a hundred deaths easily.

Funny, this truly is the game i've been waiting for, while waiting for Star Citizen...

I will be playing Everspace for 500 hours without question.

Raw Data is the most polished VR experience yet for our wonderful HTC Vives. I'm sure plenty of reviewers will mention how the graphics are truly great, the menu system is the best yet, the sense of depth and repeat gameplay is clearly top-of-the-line, even in Alpha v0.1. This review could be short and sweet... AAA+ must have title.

If you own a Vive, this will be your flagship game. I own every great, good, sorta good, and barely good game for the Vive so far (my library is 70 deep already), but it is obvious after my first hour that Raw Data will be playable for days/months/years to come. I have blasted drones daily in SPT.. I have killed many a Hover Junky, and I will slice my way through every skeleton/zombie horde I can find (or just block laser bolts with a lightsaber). Raw Data combines all of these experiences with the highest graphic quality available.

The reason I chose to write this review was to help a few of you out there get the most out of your graphical experience for Raw Data. These tips will be old news by next week, but right now your eyes will thank me.

I rock the Nvidia 980ti (the Strixx OC version), and a solid state HD <-- crucial.
I turned my graphics settings for Raw Data to Epic with 2.0x in-game supersampling. I definitely suggest you max your in-game sampling past 1.0 regardless of GPU, as every step up will not only help clarify the text, but the neon lights (and other details) all around will become much less pixelated. The 980ti will handle Raw Data at 2.0 in-game ssaa.. and the results are noticed instantly.
I then brought a few of the options (like AA, shadows and distance) down to High for a small but noticed bump in framerates. I had previously added a line of code in my steamVR.VRsettings file (found in config folder in steam directory), to enhance my supersampling to render pre-game at 1.2x the resolution.. and other than a bit of blur in my quick hand movements in Raw Data, that setting seems to be adding some bonus clarity in the graphics of the arenas and especially in text/menus. FYI, lots of people think you need to bump your supersampling to 1.5, but I personally notice almost no difference from 1.2-1.5 (except for GPU heat). If you have a monster setup, then I would absolutely suggest bumping your ssaa to 2.0, because that makes a huge improvement... but a single 980ti won't keep you at 90 fps. If this is the first time you have heard of editing your own steamvr.vrsettings file, I suggest you google "vive supersampling", because with minimal effort you can greatly improve your graphics for nearly every game.

oh, and the MOST important part of the graphic enhancements from this review... Nvidia released a new driver for us on the same day Raw data dropped, and it has Raw Data optimization that can increase your framerates by up to 30%.. so go download that gem before your start freaking and tweaking.


Raw Data 10/10, Great job Devs, and thanks for posting that roadmap for Alpha v0.1-v1.0. Every addition you guys are planning looks awesome, and we can't wait for more!
