Polished but still a little dull
Nice graphics and art direction, professional voice acting, and a well written story can't save this game from becoming a bit boring at times.
From a technical standpoint everything is solid, (once you switch to the controller based pointer mode). Playing in mixed reality on the Quest 3 feels very sci-fi.
Unfortunately throughout the game you'll traverse through the same locations over and over again. It makes sense within the story but it becomes as routine as a commute to work. Luckily the dialogue is interesting which keeps the repetitive travel from becoming unbearable.
The turn based combat also becomes very routine despite the characters' level progression. There's a lot of customization and upgrades, and while they do add complexity, they don't add excitement.
Eventually I came to a point in the game where I only kept going out of the desire to see the story unfold, not because I still enjoyed playing it.
Despite these criticisms I'm not sorry I purchased the game and put so many hours into it. It was a singular experience with many memorable moments, but it would have been more enjoyable if the story had been compressed or if it was a linear trek through more varied environments instead of all the backtracking.
Nearly perfect …
There are just a few rough edges that could easily be smoothed off to make the experience perfect, especially on the initial loading. The anti-aliasing is very poor. I cannot see any developer updates which is a shame. Let’s hope that we get one soon!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hands down the greatest VR game of all-time!
Very fun and I usually play FPS’s!
Xcom type style game - very visually appealing and music is A+. Really great game 5 stars
Addictive Adventure!
One of the best games I've played on Quest. Since downloading, I've been playing nonstop. Very polished and super underpriced!
Super fun, full campaign MR game!
It gave me a little taste of what phantasy star 2 would look like in VR.
The story was great, the voice acting was emotive and professional, and the style was really cool.
My only wish is that the gameplay was a little bit more challenging. Even despite that this game was super fun and totally worth it. It can be played very comfortably sitting down, especially as the game map is tilted, which was very smart.
The story was emotional and really beautiful actually.
Looking forward to see what these developers make next! If it can be a phantasy star 2 esque game, that would be amazing!!
