I was delighted by every moment of it. It's a great Point & Click Adventure/Puzzle Game. Beyond that, I think it has the most impressive execution of 2D animation I've seen in a game. All of the animation and gameplay was seamless to the point that it really did feel like I was watching a TV show!

Some of the most fun I've had in VR.

I love this game. I held out on getting it for a long time because of the reviews even though I'm a major Civilization 5 fan, but it went on sale on a different website and finally caved in. It was worth every penny, and honestly would have been worth the $60 too! There are so many small improvements over Civilization 5 and tweaks to the strategy that I think really benefit it. I haven't purchased any DLC yet, but I plan to once I see it on sale.

I almost exclusively play Civilization for multiplayer with my friends, which was one of the big pain points of Civilization 5 because of how buggy it gets and the extraordinarily slow loading times in the late game. I noticed immediate improvement with Civilization 6 and just completed a 253-turn multiplayer game last night with pretty much zero issues.

Overall, I'd say to go with your gut when buying this game and don't let the reviews deter you. If you go into it expecting to hate it, you probably will. I personally think the game is beautifully made and a huge improvement over Civilization 5 though, so I give it my wholehearted recommendation.

Exactly what everyone has been waiting for RollerCoaster Tycoon to do. The game mechanics will be very familiar to anyone who has played a RollerCoaster Tycoon game in the past (or almost any Tycoon game, for that matter) -- so props to the development team for not only using the mechanics, but putting their own spin on it to make it even better.

Highly addictive and fun game. Workshop support is awesome. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding game; it well exceeded my expectations. The art style, gameplay, and story is all very unique and entertaining.

You'll be able to get a good few hours out of Orwell with just a single playthrough, and even more if you're the type of person to go back and try different decisions to see where the story takes you. That said, I don't think I'll go back and redo those decisions myself due to already having full knowledge of the game's plot, which would take away from the importance of those decisions that relies on you not knowing what will happen next.

Definitely try out the demo -- if you're at all intrigued by it, then you'll have a blast with the rest of the game.

By the reviews I was expecting an amazing story, but this is basically "dating drama simulator" -- not the most exciting thing to spend my time with. Some may enjoy it, but don't expect a super in-depth story. It's more like a teenage "choose your path" dating novel.

Early Access Review
Instantly one of my favorite VR Games, though I have to say, it's mainly because of the potential I see in it. There isn't a whole lot to do, but what's there is immensely fun and shows some amazing promise for the future once the game leaves Early Access.

Everything feels silky smooth and natural with the exception of some framerate drops that occur in the later waves when lots of aliens are swarming on screen.

Can't wait to see what the developers do with it.

No picture, video, or anything other than the experience can accurately describe Tilt Brush. You don't need to be an artist to have your breath taken away by this tool, and I say that because I am most certainly not one.

The simplicity of Tilt Brush can only be described as groundbreaking and magical.

VR's version of Dance Dance Revolution -- but hundreds of times better. Really great game for VR parties, and definitely a must have for the HTC Vive.

Don't take this game for face value -- what seems like a childish puzzle game is really one of the most charming games that the HTC Vive has to offer. Being able to try the development version when touring Schell Games last November is what convinced me that the Vive was worth buying.

Water Bears takes a classic puzzle game and turns it into an incredible experience. The relaxing atmosphere and music combined with the most immersive controls out of any game I've tried so far make this a must-have Vive game. Good for showing VR to non-gamer friends, too.
