IKEA VR Experience

IKEA VR Experience

Of all the early free experiences, this one holds up. They added a Christmas mode to it as well, that’s a good sign! I also don’t recall the stickie-buns from my first play-through, so that must be new as well. It renders well for a Unreal Engine game, maybe that’s my 970 1070 upgrade or engine improvements. I’ve played alot of VR architecture demos, and many more expansive areas to explore, but I don’t think I’ve seen one with this interactivity. There’s a fair bit of fun.

! I once got a free desk from IKEA because the one I had ordered had a slight scratch on it, but c’mon, y’all can buy one, and then photoshot that spit, and build the Mega-Desk(r) you know you deserve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpFx4ygIv9s

It’s so lifelike!

I only went in for a cheap desk lamp, but after 30 minutes of being shepherded through the store without stopping, I found my path blocked by a couple arguing over soft furnishings whilst their child threw a tantrum over getting a hotdog and an ice-cream. I went around them and wandered a little more (on rails as per the store layout) and eventually stopped for minute to look at some bedroom furniture however I realised that I am in fact not a giant and therefore do not have 16ft ceilings in my bedroom ergo they wouldn’t fit (BUGFIX: I think there may be scaling issues). Unfortunately, the couple had caught up with me and were still arguing only this time over the mans commitment to the shopping trip. The child was complaining that it needed to go to the toilet. As if by magic an NPC in a yellow polo neck T-Shirt appeared from behind a mirror (I think no-clip was left on by mistake) and started filling up a pencil dispenser but before anyone could ask the way to the restroom it vanished behind a stack of pillows. I then walked for another 10 minutes until I found the lamp section. I found one I liked but the bulbs were some weird triangle shape that I’d never seen before so I decided to wander round and see if one of the NPCs had any clues. I eventually found what appeared to be an enormous warehouse full of boxes. There was an old man bending to lift a flat-pack bunkbed while his wife looked round nervously with a “excuse me young man could you help” look on her face (the graphics are astonishing) … I decided to offer my help as I thought it might be a side-quest… Unfortunately, the box was slightly too big for the trolley so I had to help them all the way to the checkout while the old lady did more to make it fall off than help (she meant well). In a moment of sheer determination to finish the quest I decided to help them to the car. Sadly, I got distracted by the sound of a child screaming “BUT I DON’T LIKE STRAWBERRY SYRUP ON MY ICE-CREAM” at full volume followed by crying as I left the store and I forgot to ask the nearby NPC about the lamp. By the time I remembered, I was outside waiting for the old man (Collin) to fetch the car (BUG REPORT: the bollards have odd collision boxes that the trolley won’t fit through). It was a 1993 Nissan Micra. Even after removing the basket of knitting supplies, 1972 AA road atlas of Great Britain, and full tool set including kneeling pad from the boot; I realised the box wouldn’t fit. I tried everything as the old woman looked on expectantly but no luck. Sadly, we unboxed the item in a bid to make it fit (Nice Tetris clone mini-game) and it meant the item could not be returned so I had to restart the quest.

Shattle

Shattle

It’s the year 1970 in Sweden, and the Cold War is upon us. None of the thousands of bomb shelters have been used, until now. You and 24 other players start in separate apartments as air-raid sirens go off. You don’t have much time so gather as many supplies and weapons wherever and however you can.

What gear can you find? What supplies can you craft? Who can you trust? Use Shattle’s in-game voice chat to make friends or enemies. You’ll need all your wits about you to survive three bombing raids and make it to safety.

20-minute rounds

No more hiding or camping. You don’t have time for that. Survive to the end in any way you can. You have to think strategically, but you have to do it fast.

Close Combat Survival

Battle your way through everything from dense forests and bunkers to bomb shelters and underground tunnels as you get up close and personal with other players. Be careful! You never know who’s hiding just around the corner.

Destructible Environments

As bombs fall, they take chunks of the environment with them, creating more dynamics and new spaces in forested areas and buildings. So every time you leave your shelter, prepare for all-new surroundings.

Extensive weapons and armour

Loot, craft or upgrade, there are many ways to equip yourself for the fight ahead. And watch the skies! The Swedish Forces are known to drop some rare guns and armour via air supplies.

Points-based scoring

This isn’t your typical battle royale where you want to be the last one standing. Everyone’s goal is to make it to safety, but how you do it is up to you. Whether you want to shoot your way through or be a tactically sound crafter, everything counts towards your final score.

Bird’s View

Death isn’t the end of your journey. Come back as a dove and be the ultimate spotter for your team.

This is a really cool game with a bunch of issues, but still really worth the money. I think it really deserves more attention than its getting.

The Good.

  • cute graphics

  • the units you play with are really different and really encourage you to use different play styles

  • 3 games in one, and each game type lets you earn different types of resources (money, parts, and chips

  • the campaign mode is pretty much a full game all by itself, with both a strategy map and tactical maps whenever there is a fight

TL;DR: If you can overlook the unpolished UX, you’ll get a great game for your money.

This game is very “indie.” By that I mean it definitely lacks a lot of the polish that big-name funding provides. There are copious grammatical errors, although little typos, which leads me to believe it’s more of a translation issue than a proof-reading one. However, everything is understandable, it’s just occasionally a wonky read. Other than that and the unintuitive HUDs, the balance of the game and some of the mechanics feel a bit odd, especially with the multiplayer aspect. I don’t think this could ever have a robust competitive player-base, but it might be enjoyable to play with a friend from time to time.

Highrisers

Highrisers

This is a maybe for me, not an actual yes. Yet. The core concept is amazing, the art style is great, and there is real ingenuity here. People complain it needs more tutorial and I disagree. However, it needs pause, the ability to queue orders, and more depth and sense in the skill system.

I really want this game to be good. It’s such an interesting concept, and fun when it’s parts come together. I’ve played 95 hours in it not just because my ADHD has me randomly focused on it right now. It is genuinely engaging. It needs a few things and once it has them this simple title could be one of my all time favs.

Real player with 113.3 hrs in game

I normally don’t write reviews, but in this case i wanted to make one, because i think the game is underrated.

Highrisers is a nice looking pixel style survival game. The goal of the game is to repair your helicopter to get off a skyscraper on which you crash landed. In order to repair your heli you search the building from top to bottom for usable materials. Everything you find can be dismantled and the materials gained from it can be used to craft a huge variety of weapons and other useful things (most of it needs to be unlocked first by leveling your 4 characters).
