SpaceEngine
This game/simulator is incredible and has me hooked. Breathtaking and it really gives me an idea of the scale of our universe. Worth x4 the price in my opinion but must be experienced in VR with a fast computer (mighty GPU) and it is very important to read the manual at the very least and learn the graphics settings and the other facets of this wonderful piece of software before you dive in to get the best experience…

This is a space wallpaper maker! You can take very stunning HD screenshots while exploring an entire universe. I love taking the time to get the perfect shot, adjusting gamma, brightness, the amount of stars you can see, type of lens flare, nebulous, gas giants, black holes! the list goes on and the possibilities are endless, if you are a space nerd get this game…game? it’s kinda a game, you can fly around in a ship too if you wanted and pretend your a space pirate or something.

Ecosystem
I have more hours than my playtime states, as I usually launch this directly when steam is turned off when I go to bed.
I am a long time fan of ecosims and evolution games. This game is very pure to those genres. It has little to no
“gamification” and exists merely for simulation sake. If you are looking for a “game” here outside of watching
fish being really bad at surviving, you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you are already familiar with other games
of this genre, like the Creatures series, this game will absolutely capture you.

The Disco Slug team seems dedicated to breathing new life into the oldschool Maxis sim genre. First they released Empires of the Undergrowth, the spiritual successor to SimAnt, and with Ecosystem, they seem to be testing the waters (ha!) for a run at SimLife.
First thing’s first: This is an Early Access game. At this stage, it’s not terribly “gamey” at all; the only challenge currently coded into the game is raising your “life points” through the successful propagation of species and strengthening of the ecosystem. There are 8-10 tiers of Life Points through which you can progress. Each tier reached allows you to unlock three new plants, shells, or simple lifeforms (think plankton) to diversify the base of your food chain.

How do you like it, Elon Musk?
I see a lot of potential in this game the realistic solar system is very intriguing to me I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this video game and it’s right up there with kerbal space program, but with kerbal space program 2 coming out soon we shall see how this game will be comparable. The only downside I have to this game is the building mechanics really need to be worked on the putting together of parts of your ship it can become very glitchy and quite frustrating. When you do get the ship that you were building to work correctly it’s a phenomenal game I just hope this game doesn’t get abandoned because it has some great potential.

This game is awesome it’s just awesome, I wonder if Elon Musk has licensed the devs to use his name xD
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were so, because Elon Musk is known for being a Billionaire but modest I don’t act like another billionaire who acts like a complete dick and even named his company after his little dick ;-)

At first, I thought it was some cheap Kerbal Space Program rip-off, but no it’s a really great game!
As for me, as for me, I attended an ISTQB course for manual testers, took the ISTQB istqb foundation level exam and I missed a few fucking points to pass, a few goddamn points.

Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution
Species: ALRE is a game for those of us longing for the glory days of SimEarth and though those days are long gone we can atleast see some semblance of evolution happening here.
The Good
Species ALRE gives players a wide range of options to steer how evolution will occur throughout their playthrough. There are map-wide effects such as raising or lowering the sea level, increasing or decreasing land fertility, screwing around with the global temperature and more.
Other effects are to introduce artifical selection pressure for traits that the player finds (un)desirable. This is achieved through rovers, spawnable autonomous entities that are given a single mission, to either feed or kill those with the trait in question. This allows the player enough freedom to have his creatures evolve however he wants, such as giving them enormous necks or creating a biome consisting only of hyper-aggressive huge herbivores.

I want to be clear: this is not a “game” for everyone, but if the idea is intriguing enough to you and you have some spare cash I would say take the risk and invest in it. There is nothing like this anywhere else. This isn’t some sort of half-assed early access stuff that will poorly mimic other titles then end up abandoned. This is a legit playground for anyone with a fascination with biology, genetics and evolution. If you want to make it a “game” and actively set goals you can. However, a good question to ask yourself is whether you’d be interested in letting the simulation play out without any interference.

Remains
Very satisfying for an early access game. I have just a little over 24 hours into the game and highly recommend joining the discord to search for solutions/answers to some basic how-to’s in early game.
Like commented elsewhere, the gameplay is very raft-in-space. I like the story-line and blackbox gigs as the early access campaign pre-cursor. Good mechanics IMHO and I have yet to run into any serious bugs. In the current release there is a items-stop-spawning issue that is easily remedied by save-exit-load game.
– Real player with 27.4 hrs in game
Ok so Im gonna start off by saying, Yes this is LIKE Raft. we all know that raft has shaped the open world survival craft genre. but Remains has similarity’s to Desert Skies and subnautica and Void Train. i have spent 2 hour trying to decide if this game is just a lame reskin or a game all its own and im leaning twords the second option. I am glad that its only 6 buck cause there is not much content. but im very very happy with it so far and im eger for more updates. this is really gonna be a game to follow! now time for the negative……..and its 3 words, IN.GAME.TUTORIAL! there is not help on how to play the game! you just get dropped in and kinda have to figure it out on your own. if a basic tutorial was added it would clear up major struggles and confusion. but thats really my only issue. now that im done writing this imma go play this some more! Cheers!

Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.
You can view my video gameplay & initial impressions here: https://youtu.be/oj0HVAklP1Q
I honestly don’t know enough about the subject matter to be able to properly review this app. This is a planetarium app for VR. You can see the night sky from whatever time, location that you choose. You can add a landscape to your view or completely eliminate it.
You can see the different magnifications of the night sky, along with some different filters, such as a city view or a completely perfect night sky magnified times 8. There’s deep sky catalogs for Herschel 400, Caldwell, & Messier. I had never heard of them prior. But basically they are photographs of those particular areas of the night sky, obviously magnified so you can see them with the naked eye.

Mind you, there is very little content right now, but by buying this, you are supporting a lone developer with a GREAT game idea.
It’s both a 1st person RPG and a strategy builder, complete with voice acting (good voice acting). This all from one dude! Guys, if you can afford it, help this guy out.

Orcz Evolve VR
OK, I want to recommend this game but I just can’t in the state it’s in right now.

Gameplay
Problems.
Movement: Teleport and it’s far to slow, the powerup time or whatever takes to long and gets frustrating. Do touchpad movement and offer normal teleport.
Reload: it’s terrible, it doesn’t work most of the time and it would be easier to just have a lower gun to side or push a button. Anything than a little area at your waist that is hard to find the right spot and most times just doesn’t work.
– Real player with 0.8 hrs in game
The game is worth it for the price, is not great but it could be. It has some inconvenience like the drops in places that are impossible to reach or them float in the space. I do enjoy it really, but here I want to tell you 3 points that disappoint me.
-The movement cooldown, I don’t have any problem with tp movement games, I do usually prefer to move with the touchpad and would be awesome to add that into the setting. The problem with that is the cooldown indicator, is none so I feel frustrate when there are a lot of orcs and need to move smoothly and I can’t.

PRINCIPIA: Master of Science
Summary
A rather simple game with a huge potential. Overall, it is great now, but if the devs are able to improve on the concept by introducing more scientists, fields of science, and perhaps more locations/academies, it can become truly amazing.
What works
1. You can pick one of about a dozen scientists from the era of enlightenment, and guide him throughout his career. You choose what to concentrate on, you can study, attend lectures, conduct experiments, compose scientific papers and much more.

You can’t tell this is a outstanding game, but it is amazing. BGM, graphic, system especially this theme is rather KOEI than Paradox. It reminds me about my PSP and the mighty Daikoukai Jidai IV.
I really want to see dlc for this game like more scientists, more theory, more universities. I think there still be a lot of system improvement and details can be developed. Such as more countries can have different budgets to invite scientist or build better universities and labs; a interdisciplinary research systems; relationship between professors and students etc.
