Really really wanted to enjoy this game, and I don't like leaving bad reviews.

15-20 FPS in VR with PS2 graphics settings using a 7700K and 1080ti. Head tracking jitters and jumps around.

Spent an hour fighting with the profile creation screen as it wouldn't let me type.

Dirt Rally 1 runs beautifully at 90 FPS with max settings. I don't know how Codemasters screwed this up so bad. Asking Steam for a refund.

The most fun you can have in VR but the Oculus restriction is very annoying.

I bought this out of curiosity, mostly because of the beautiful art style and female protagonists that weren't sexualized whatsoever. In fact, the gender of the characters doesn't change the game much, if at all. They just fit perfectly, like they were always meant to be there, instead of just thrown in.

Pros:
- Engaging story, you learn about the characters' pasts by looking at seemingly random objects in the game (like a carpet stain, for example)
- Stunning visuals, all of the textures were hand-made for a very painted feel
- Lots of replayabilty, I can see myself coming back to this a lot just trying to find all the hidden optional photos and choose different choices, and it doesn't feel dry when you play it through again
- The rewind ability has been done very well, and simple things like keeping your items and position while rewinding reduces frustration in scenes with little time to react
- Just about any action can be rewound as many times as you like until you're comfortable with your choice
- The global stats aren't something you'll be checking a lot (unlike high score lists in other games), but it's a nice addition that lets you cringe at the 2% of people who were total a**holes with their choices

Cons:
- Episodes are very short, but the replayability I mentioned eariler should give you a 25+ hour experience for all of the episodes combined if you try to find all of the hidden optional photos without using a walkthrough
- The lip-syncing is really bad, but you end up not noticing it halfway through the first episode
- Surpisingly intensive. I play this at 1080p on ultra at 60fps (40 in some of the more intensive scenes), while I run Skyrim on ultra at 2K with tons of visual mods at 80-100fps
- 7 weeks between episodes? Pls I want moar!

10/10 from what I've played so far

It was $10 in the Humble store, how could I say no?

I usually don't enjoy RPGs like this, but Skyrim really surprised me at just how much I got sucked in (over 18 hours played within 40 hours of buying it) It has an engaging story in a world filled with lore, a massive world in fact. You'll spend ages just exploring to the far corners of Skyrim, finding the occasional bandit hideout or whatever.

My GTX 660 is holding up very well considering the amount of visual mods I've installed, so even a midrange graphics card can make the game look beautiful.

After hearing so much about this game over the years, I finally caved and bought the Triple Pack, probably one of the best purchases I've made. The narrative is engaging, gameplay mechanics are well-polished and the graphics hold up extremely well for a game released in '07. Would definitely recommend to those who want a great story-driven FPS.

Also, for those experiencing issues with the resolution when you alt+tab or whatever, just change it to something else in the options then back to what you want.

Prepare to lose hours of your life in the first few minutes of playing this brilliant game. It messes with your mind in an effort to make you lose your concentration by flashing different colours, changing directions and even the angle of the game itself. The music keeps you playing and sometimes you'll only press restart to hear the fast-pased chiptunes that change depending on the difficulty. Probably the best value for money game on the market to date, I'd reccommend this to everyone with fingers and eyes, because that's all you need
