My Vive demo party turned into an Audioshield party. This is an amazing game and a must-try VR experience.

So I had no idea what to expect going into this game. Being from the creators of The Stanley Parable, I was expecting some chippy cheery interactive story game. That is not this game.

It's interactive sure. There is a lot of good content in it. It is a story. But it's not chippy and cheery.

I'm not sure how to best sum it up. It's emotionally powerful and raw, but other than that I don't know what to say.

Just play it, and you'll understand.

timmy.

I only picked up this game to play it with the Oculus Rift, and I have to say - it is the best game I've played so far with the Rift; my setup is Rift + headset + 360 controller. The cockpit looks fantastic, there's a good sense of scale - nothing seems too big or too small - and interacting with all the cockpit buttons (instead of requiring the keyboard / having a floating hud full of buttons) works really well.

As for the game itself, the physics handles... well, like it should: Gravity pulls you down, you've got your velocity vector to manage, and then there's the actual crafts rotation to consider - all under the no-air-resistance-because-we're-in-space environment where any force you apply you have to counteract yourself. There's the additional problem of cargo (if you're doing transporting/finding lost cargo missions) - cargo adds weight to your craft, affecting the thrust-to-weight ratio and thus making the craft less manoeuvrable.

The sense of scale and depth that the Oculus Rift provides adds a whole new dimension (ha) to the game, which I feel likely makes it easier to fly your craft as you have a better grasp of where you are in the 3d-space, and it also of course makes the game a lot more immersive. If you have a Rift, I feel like this is a game you should definitely play - as I said it's the best experience I've had with my Rift so far.
