Casual Golf
I do not mind ‘casual’. I DO mind non-predictable behavior.
The golf ball does not follow any reliable (game) ‘physics’. That would be fine, if the game would allow for more … ‘casual’ attempts to get it right, eventually. But every new try feels like RNG is at play, rather allowing the player to improve, getting better with each try. You are just hoping your first shot will allow you to have a chance with your second, eventually.
If this is intentional or ‘unpolished’ is not for me to say.

The physics in this game make me so angry. Why does the ball stick to walls?
This game is not like normal mini golf. A little more polishing and it could be great. At least it’s unique.

Walk On Mars
Walk On Mars is a free VR experience. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ?, sounded ok. You are plopped into a crater on Mars. The only movement is you moving in your play space. The background music is ok, but you cannot mute or change volume. They put a credit sign behind you over the wall of the crater, breaking immersion. No space suit hands and arms or body. The sky is Wrong in this map, Martian sky does not show stars and the galaxy. Maybe ok, as a zen garden experience.
Try it, but there is better experiences like this out there.

Walk On Mars is a free VR-only “walking sim” where you get to wear a VR headset and look at a pretty bad skybox and some martian looking landscape. Unlike other walking simulators, there’s nowhere to walk to, which kind of misses the point of them.
It’s nice that this is free, but there’s nothing to it, it’s not a game, so I can’t recommend it to gamers.

Object detection is poor. I kept not picking up the plates and failing (even though I should have picked up the plates perfectly).

On Closer Inspection
6/10
I liked this. It is quite interesting. I’d have liked to see more narration, and more use of VR as a medium.
If anyone’s interested in flying a Lancaster in VR, try Sturmovik.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
Not bad for a free educational app type experience for VR. You get to see 3D model recreations and even a mini-one to hold in your hand. There’s lots of information on the 4 different war vehicles. You also get an inside view which is like 360 photographs, but lacking true stereoscopic 3D so the scales are off.
Whole thing took me about 25 minutes, but it could have taken much longer if I had tried to get all the information possible. I just went for the most interesting ones. App is running on the Unity Engine and I had no performance issues on my RTX 3080. I did not experience any bugs.

Experience the Energy: Take the Challenge
Experience the Energy: Take the Challenge is a free VR game funded by the Canada Oil industry. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has a series of mini-games that sort of test you for ten jobs in the oil industry. Some of the games have short timers, so makes them hard to win.
Try this game, if you are interesting in Oil industry.

Well produced I suppose. Actually, it’s very well done. I played a little bit of the GO version first. I don’t know if they feature parity of experiences. I played a fair amount (but maybe not all) of the experiences on PC until I got bored, which wasn’t very long. Alot of these games didn’t really have much to do with oil and gas, but I think maybe because of the category I selected. My favorite game was the first one I played, whereby you get to evaulate employees and they come into work and send them home or let them go to work.
! That’s my dream job. https://youtu.be/uZwxzIn6pg0

Oddly I preferred this non-interactive video experience more than the interactive mini-game one. Mainly because they are both not very scintillating topics. I mean, it’s kind of interesting, but not like videos about jungle animals or cool space stuff. It’s the energy industry preaching to you. It has marvelous video quality though. It’s so high you can’t really tell if it’s monoscopic or not.

FamilyWorldRoam
Just purchased this game to see how chill it was. It’s pretty chill. I tried all the different things: space station (one room, as far as I could tell), painting (bob rossish), air balloon – I was testing this in seated position and i was excited above all else to try air balloon…it doesn’t work seated. I also haven’t seen an in-game options menu to change any controls, raise or lower, etc. Ferris Wheel was fairly generic but an interesting and simple introduction as it was the first button I tried. Fireworks was pretty cool, again standard with not many to play with but it has potential and is fun to mingle with. Underwater had fun movement controls which made it interesting trying to time the movements with the sea creatures…and interestingly the controls are similar on the space station, nice floaty underwater effect right there. Aurora…now this one I really enjoyed. I free-roamed over to the lightning bugs and just looked around, it was beautiful, kept going and fell off the map. I was then under the map, walking on water jesus mode while seeing above some of how it had been built, there’s so much you could do with that map if you wanted to, I’d play that as a shooter map even….that experience was enough to give this a positive review. As far as first impressions go, it was relaxing and I enjoyed it. As far as critique, please add more control and camera options in time. I would prefer walking with the left thumbstick and turning/looking with the right thumbstick, I’m sure many others would too. Not bad though, not bad at all.

‘FamilyWorldRoam’ is a collection of 6 experiences from a slow hotair balloon flight, to a giant Ferris wheel and even some drawing. If this was free it might have been worth a look, but it most definitely isn’t worth the £4.79 asking price. It looks OK at times I suppose, but that is the only praise I can give it. The first main problem is that the developer describes this as an app that “doesn’t need complex operation”, but it is an utter shit-show to move about. There are far better things to show people new to VR that doesn’t need any movement so when this app fails to do even that it makes it kind of pointless.

Singulive
Singulive is an Early Access Free VR experience that is a social music venue. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked good, played ok, sounded good, was understandable. This program released 17 Augt. 2021. Has English and Spanish as language choice. Didn’t notice this program was Oculus Rift only, but works somewhat on HTC Vive, although missing some minor features. Currently, has Two music sessions, both in Spanish, with 3 songs each, then there are 3 other artists coming soon. The camera work was good and crisp. I could not read the news. You need to make an account by launching the registering program first. Has a meeting room for friends and that you can invite Steam friends. I guess you can also play the music sessions with friends. Has five maps that you can visit to experience music. During a music session, you are locked in place. The artist is like a hologram on the stage.

Had this for a few days. You have to create an account, so I keep trying to create an account. I enter my email, make up a password, but when I hit the button to create the account, nothing happens. I made a post about this in the discussion area, but have yet to get a response.
