Demo Review

[Hoofster Pony]

What I write for this review is the experience I had with the game, everybody will experience things differently. This is my honest review if you don't like it well tough. Also no game is safe from a review whether its early access, full release or demo.

Into The Darkness VR is a game where you you are trying to find the dark secret of how humans are transferring their consciousnesses into robots. The game is based on physics & is breed from HL: Alex or Bonewoks.

Savaging- from what I played of the demo you can loot stuff & scavenge items to create items, not sure if created items last longer then found items. I seen soda cans, plastic bottles & broken gun can be used as materiel to help craft new items just like The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners game savaging system.

Grabbing- you can grab items by simply hitting the grab button or if its out of reach you can use your levitation gloves (like half-life: Alex gloves). The levitation gloves need a bit of work, I had to do the pull motion few times to get the glove to register a grab.

Reloading- reloading is manual from what I can tell. You grab the old mag out & put in a new one. What is great is the old mag has a materiel use to help craft items.

Climbing- climbing was a bit odd to get used to mainly when you reach the top you have to use both hands on the top & your character will auto climb up but you have to make sure to walk forward quickly or you can accidentally fall back down.

Aiming & Shooting- I didn't see any issue with shooting nor aiming except using both hands on the pistol. When the game lags out for a split second you will stop double gripping the pistol.

Game Engine- no idea what engine is used to run the game but its awful, the game kept lagging out & dropped fps really bad. It did this when you reached new areas of section. The game engine definitely needs huge work before game release, it reminds me of Zero Caliber engine problems.

Other then that Into The Darkness VR is an interesting game & I will certainly be keeping an eye on it. If the issues I mention get fixed/improved I will buy this game possibly on release.

I agree with the above wholeheartedly though I also found that the performance, which was fine during the tutorial, get very laggy very fast. I restarted and again, performance was initially great but rapidly degraded which seems to take between ten to twenty minutes and the second time, I did not go through the tutorial. There's also a weird warping effect when you try to touch or press your hands against a surface. This is also made weirder as your wrists look like they break and shatter every time you you try touching a flat surface.

I was using the Index if it makes any difference..
