Educational and fun
This game got me into STEM and now my future plans are to become an engineer or something along those lines! After playing this game, I really got into learning about computer science, building and programming. It was something I never thought I would like, but it turns out I love it. (And keep in mind I got this game last year, and still play it today.) plus I’m only 14 so it really shows how fun the game is to actually keep you invested in learning and prototyping. I’m surprised this game isn’t in the charts, it should be.
DOWNLOAD IT!
Awesome Game
This is a really good game. It is super fun and has no limit to its possibilities. There are some features I would like. One is add controller movement controls for mech builds. it detects controller up down left and right movements for controlling servos and stuff. If you see this please consider this!! I have so many fun ideas I could do with this!!!!
Underrated!!
Such a fun and well executed game, I love building things and the physics are pretty accurate aswell. Blown away with how great this game is and the amount you can customize robots.
Superb game with caveats
This is a superb game, and something that's a great example of what VR is about. Having tasks to solve, and building a robot right in front of you, working out how you can get something assembled to complete a task. Weighing your options as to what might set your robot back, etc. Some of the building controls take a bit to get used to, but once you tinker with it you'll get it.
With that said, I do have two glaring negatives:
1. The game requires an active internet connection to play (as labeled in the store). It does not appear to have any features that should require internet just to be able to launch the game. Times without internet are rare cases, I know. But if you owned a flashlight that wouldn't turn on without an internet connection, that would be quite intrusive and there is no difference to me in this case. So far, I can't tell why it's requiring an active connection.
2. I think there was a missed opportunity with the sandbox mode. It would have been awesome to create your own objectives from a set of different types of levels where you can move things around, choose different objective types and set them up, etc. This would skyrocket the replay value and make it feel more like a virtual playground. As far as I can tell, the sandbox arena is a static area that you'll eventually grow bored of. This totally hampers the boundless possibilities because you'll run out of objectives to build robots for.
It's still a great game, but those 2 things really keep it from being a smash hit for me.
Hidden gem
After trying out about 200 Quest games/apps I can say this is something special. Its high quality, innovative and fun. Also offers tens of hours (or even hundreds) of play time for a person who is intrested in building/testing/goofing.
Refunding right now! 😡
The controls are super weird. Why do we need to grab stuff with triggers and not the grips? What is this, Meta Quest PCVR? Also, in the tutorial, when I finished Step 4, it wouldn't take me to Step 5. Absolutely rubbish! I would not recommend this to anyone who might have the same issue as I did!
