One of the more impressive and high effort VR-ports out there. Performance is decent on my system with a 2070s using the Valve Index at 80Hz and it looks pretty good. Some gameplay elements are a bit janky, like the grabbing mechanic, but most are well implemented and it's a very immersive experience which I'm enjoying so far.

Für 40€ würde ich dieses Spiel nicht empfehlen, sondern würde eher dazu raten auf einen größeren Rabatt zu warten. Sakuna hat durchaus einiges zu bieten: Das Setting ist toll, die Story ist schön und Grafik/Musik sind gut. Der Reisanbau ist zwar etwas repetitiv, aber auch komplex und interessant.
Allerdings hat das Spiel in den Action- bzw Jump 'n' Run-Szenen einige Schwächen. Vor allem ist die Steuerung sehr eigenwillig und es passiert nicht selten dass man einen Kampf verliert, weil das Spiel auf einen Knopfdruck nicht reagiert, eine Attacke aus unerklärlichen Gründen nicht trifft oder weil das "Divine Raiment" in eine vollkommen andere Richtung als beabsichtigt schießt. Das kann sehr schnell frustrierend werden.
Selbst wenn die Steuerung so funktioniert wie sie soll, sind die Kämpfe mechanisch nicht besonders gut. Wenn man Gegner wegschleudert kann man diese z.b. mehrere Sekunden lang danach nicht angreifen, was nicht gerade für flüssiges Gameplay sorgt.
Außerdem ist der Controllersupport ziemlich mies - ich verwende üblicherweise einen Switch Pro Controller der über einen Mayflash Adapter zu XInput umgewandelt wird. Kein anderes Spiel hatte damit bisher Probleme, aber bei Sakuna lassen sich nicht alle Buttons belegen und der rechte Stick für die Kamerasteuerung funktioniert nicht. Ich musste deshalb auf einen alten 360-Controller umsteigen.
Habe lange überlegt ob ich das Spiel erstatten lassen soll, aber habe mich dagegen entschieden da ja fast alle Reviews sehr positiv sind. Nach 5 Stunden denke ich aber, dass mir das Spiel eigentlich keine 40€ wert war. Naja, werde aber auf jeden Fall weiter Spielen und das Review ggf ändern wenn das Spiel noch deutlich besser wird.

So far it's really impressive. Feels like a true Half-Life game while providing some of the best VR mechanics to date. Also, quite terrifying.

I'm giving this a cautious recommendation. It has a ton of potential. The basics are there and well implemented, it's already fun building up your farm and exploring the world (even though there isn't that much to it). At this point it's far from a complete game though. As with all early access titles, especially more obscure VR games, there is a risk of abandonment, but it's also relatively cheap.

This is a really cool and well designed virtual world. I started this with no expectations, but I'm impressed. It seems like every area has a ton of secrets to discover. It also has a progression system where you level up and unlock new gear to customize your character.
Controls work well for the most part, though there is room for improvement, like not being able to strafe and having to press down the trackpad on the vive. Also the painting function, while nice, is a bit too pixelated right now.
There does seem to be a microtransaction element to it, as you can buy a currency, but it looks like most things can also be bought for ingame money, and it seems like it's just cosmetic items.

Overall, you should really try this out. It's really fun, and it's free.

Awesome game with very active developers who engage with the community.

I do like what is there so far, but it's only the shell of a game and it's unclear whether there will be any more development on the game. If the devs return I might change this to a recommendation but currently, not worth the money.

While I really like the basic gameplay of Chunks, I just can't recommend it currently. Since I bought it months ago, there haven't been a lot of updates and when there finally was an update it was always just some rather minor changes. It seems to be almost abandoned now, or at least a very low priority for the devs. The game tried to rely on steam workshop for custom gamemodes but failed, since the userbase is just too small and the workshop almost empty. It's sad, because the game can be really fun for a while and has a ton of potential. It just doesn't look like that potential will ever amount to a game worth 20€.

I got this game before the early access since I'm one of the original indiegogo backers. I can definitely recommend this game. Aside from possibly being the best looking Unity game to date, it also plays very well and has a fantastic atmosphere. In the parts of the game I played (a lot is still locked in the early-access version) the gameplay is heavily based on stealth and puzzle solving, somewhat similar to the forsaken fortress part of Wind Waker. The game world is extremely detailed and intricate, with secrets around every corner. Being early access, there are some minor issues but overall it's already very polished.

Ein sehr generisches, uninteressantes Jump & Run. Nicht schrecklich aber für den Preis gibt es deutlich bessere Spiele.
