Flow
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
So this is yet another meditation app for VR. This one uses short looping stereoscopic 360 videos. Unfortunately, this means there are no interactions and you’re only using your motion controllers to select items from the menu.
This is free at the moment with several meditations to enjoy, from calm to focused to more intense. You can also buy some DLC. However, there’s mention of a registration and subscription plan in the future. I’m not sure this experience is premium enough to warrant that, of course, Flow EHF is free to do whatever they want to monetize their product. I just don’t think it would be successful.

Flow is not a game. It’s a bunch of VR videos and some hippy soundtracks to aid in meditation. There’s no gameplay loops, there’s no gameplay or meaningful interaction.
It’s intended to be a paid/subscription kind of service but seems to have been abandoned prior to that. That doesn’t stop the developers trying to scam the hippies for this non-game, there’s a whopping $20 worth of predatory DLC.
To paraphrase PT Barnam, there’s a hippy born every minute, and two to take ‘em.
Anyway, this is not a game, despite being erroneously published as a game, cannot be recommended as one.

Once Upon a Sea
Once Upon a Sea is a poetic, interactive XR documentary telling the tragic tale of the legendary Dead Sea. Through a physical exploration of the sea’s forbidden, moonlike landscapes, to intimate encounters with local characters, the user gets a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most dangerous, soon to be extinct, wonders. Centuries of human intervention and political neglect have turned the Dead Sea into a precarious place. Its water levels have dropped dramatically, leaving behind sinkholes and collapsing beaches. The experience offers a deep insight into the complexity and very human impact of this ecological and geopolitical crisis. Once Upon a Sea is our call to action.

Orlando Theme Park VR - Roller Coaster and Rides
Experienced on the Oculus Rift
You can view my puking here: https://youtu.be/RLKc9RHl0bQ
So the best part about this game, and the reason why it may be worth a free download, is because you can give everyone a facial. No, get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about puke. You can puke on everyone and everything. You can aim for the head, body, feet, grass, whatever you’re into. Puke as much as you want. Eat some cotton candy.
You can also ride the ferris wheel for free. And a train. Walk around the park, puking and demo-ing the other rides. The demos take about 10-40 seconds. If you actually want to experience the full rides, each and everyone one of them, you’ll have to pony up $34.94 USD. LOL, yeah, I’m not kidding. Everything I have said so far is true about this game.

Pretty disappointing. I love amusement parks so I was hoping this would be interesting but there are a ton of problems that need fixing before anyone should be expected to pay money for this.
- The game runs very poorly on my i7-9700k and RTX 2080S and nothing should run poorly on this computer. (Edit 8/30 - As of the latest patch, performance is greatly improved but still not perfect. Every 3 seconds like clockwork the game hitches slightly as if a process is updating that really isn’t optimized well enough. All of the below feedback also still applies.)

PRO DRIFT RELOADED 2020
this is an amazing game the only glitch is the off road place

Poor reputation. How can I just see the buttons if their position is more than the maximum screen resolution? And the gameplay and controls are so horrible that I have to quit the game instead of respawning the car.

The Holy City
This is an amazing tool for anyone curious to learn more about Jerusalem and the many religions that coexist in this fantastic place. Very well executed. I have to say it’s very unusual for me to review projects. This because very few actually wow me to the point of actually wanting to share it with others…. This is an amazing experience that allows you to feel like you can touch the Holy Sepulcher and place a note on the Western Wall. Just fantastic. I know this is a virtual visit- but the fact the places were scanned from real life really makes me appreciate the accuracy and be able to enjoy looking at each location at my own pace. Throughout this journey I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful realistic-looking recreation of many Jerusalem temples that allowed me to freely look around and spend a lot of time inspecting painting and inscriptions on the walls. When it switched from the interactive gamefied version to the 360 video version was totally amazing to recognize the precise location where the camera was placed and enjoy seeing it filled with real people. I hope to see more soon.

Son.Light.Sleepwalker
This game is something else, in a great/scary way. I was surprised to be presented with full voice acting throughout the game. I was expecting it to be another fnaf clone but this is far from anything that fnaf has shown us. I have noticed very few bugs even though it is still in early access, so that is something you should expect.
I will now go through the pros and cons of this game…
PROS
*Full voice acting
*Engaging storyline
*Great jumpscares
*ONLY 2 DOLLARS!!
*Fantastic Lighting
CONS
*The only con for this game would be that you dont own it yet!! ;)

RC Flight Simulator 2020 VR
The video for this game made it look more detailed than it really is, The plane operation and flying is pretty good , but the helicopter and quadcopter flying defintely needs an update to make the movements more fluid, they feel like they are models just moving about in the air and don’t seem to follow any aero dynamics rules and I’ve flown quite a few real ones to know how it should feel. It also give the impression in one video that your place might be up on the frame for erm? modification fixing I guess but nothing like that is possible in the game. You start on the runay so theres no taxi to the runway etc. The jets are pretty slow also so don’t get too exicited waiting to unlock those. Here’s hoping for an update soon and despite the shortfalls I’m a hopeful fan.

Very enjoyable so far! Always wanted a real RC plane but never had the time but this is a great option. Lots of aircraft to unlock with flight time, can’t wait to get to the jets!
I’m sure the physics can be worked on and I suspect the devs will update in the future. if you’re looking for an ultra realistic sim this might not be for you at the moment so you’d have to pay £100 for RealFlight.
If you’re after a bit of fun, this is excellent!

Lionfish Reef Patrol
This is possibly the greatest game on steam.

This was actually an interesting wee experience to play. Difficult to start with but found it easier as I played more. I would like to see more levels in the future with some more in the way of marine life. However I realise that this game is more about awareness of the destruction of our reefs and after playing I checked out the website and read up on how destructive Lionfish actually are. Really cool effort from Scott Gonnello and VidasGames (Usually see Horror games from Vidas but good to see him branching out). I would recommend anyone playing this to check out the website for more info and remember that it is informative experience and not a shoot em up!!

Solar System VR
Have you ever dreamed of plowing the vastness of space, studying its secrets and discovering many unexplored corners of our infinitely large universe. “Then this game is for you” - I would like to say. Of course, you won’t get this level of gameplay, but don’t immediately give up on this game. First of all, I would like to clarify that this is a VR game, which means that we are provided with partial immersion in the atomic sphere of space. The gameplay here is not particularly pleasing, although it should be said that we are dealing with a VR movie rather than a game. The plot is a tour of space. The presentation is good and the listening is really interesting. The only thing I want to note is the duration. Here it is so small that you will have time to fully familiarize yourself with the game and have time to get your money back. Otherwise, this game, or rather the film, is very good. Total - 8.3 / 10

Ok, I get most of the various Space / Solar System programs that i see. They are all offering something a bit different but this is the first time my jaw dropped. This was really quick, yes, and easily could have been 2-3x longer and still short. But this program was less focused on education and more on a space roller coaster ride and it is COOL AF. Unless you cant afford pocket change (yet somehow still have VR and a really good PC), it is well worth the price of a Coffee and Bagel regardless of its length.
