BATTLESCAR: Punk Was Invented By Girls
Got it for 56 cents as a part of a bundle. Still got disappointed.
To be fair, it is well executed in terms of visual storytelling and cinematography. Some really creative sets there!
Unfortunately, these can’t do much if the narrative and the main characters are bland and uninteresting. The abrupt and undercooked ending made the already underwhelming story - a complete waste of time for me.
Also, it is an oculus exclusive, has a good amount of gender politics at its core, and if your chapter gets interrupted, like USB disconnection (thanks AMD) you need to suffer through the whole chapter without the option to skip forward.

As a VR artist, I really enjoyed this experience. It is quite daring in terms of the format of narrative and also mixing a kind of “book” feel into the VR aesthetic. I would recommend it for any VR artists as a source of inspiration.
The story is not the best however, a bit tacky and shallow but still enjoyable.
Disappointed that it took much longer to get on Steam than on Oculus Store and also that they only support Oculus headsets, especially since there are almost no interactions (any?), so it’s not like supporting controllers of other headsets would’ve been difficult.

Construct VR - The Volumetric Movie
Construct VR - the first ever fully immersive Volumetric 6DOF movie
Watch the free demo first to learn more about the technology behind Construct VR.
Construct VR is an experience in the PresenZ movie format, that showcases the technological breakthroughs of VR storytelling through volumetric photorealistic video, powered by V-Nova point cloud compression.
Enter a science-fiction dystopian world, where a robot must fight for his life and the lives of his family. This is the first actual action movie in six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) photorealistic VR, exploring unprecedented and game-changing dimensions for the medium.
FEATURES:
-
PresenZ’s volumetric movie format, powered by V-Nova compression, allows you to experience unprecedented immersion comfort compared to “standard” VR 360° movies
-
Position and orientation of the VR headset is tracked at all times inside the movie, allowing you to get closer to objects and characters as well as to look around or behind them, creating a real sense of scale and immersion
-
6DoF eliminates the motion sickness commonly associated with VR 360° movies
-
V-Nova’s point cloud compression technology compresses the file to a small enough size to be downloaded and played on standard VR gaming set ups, finally bringing breath-taking immersion experiences to VR Gaming PCs at home
Construct VR, with a runtime of 8 minutes, is an immersive adaption of the short movie created by Kevin Margo. The PresenZ format keeps the original design and visual quality while transforming the short movie into a fully immersive experience.

Plumber
This is fun for a time. I HATE the time limit. I much prefer to approach puzzles in a logical way, and this game lends itself to a slow and methodical approach rather than a scramble.
Also, the torch and dark levels add nothing but jank (now we have to work with one hand whilst holding a torch in the other).
Also, the bugs (worst part) led me to lose my trust in some of the levels having a solution, as there are levels that are obviously impossible becasue of programming faults.
Also, the spelling mistakes….

This is a fun little 3D puzzle game that challenges your spatial visualization abilities with the classic “connect the pipes to make the water flow” concept.
I’m playing standing up and walking around to pick up and place the pipes, which needs a large enough play space, I have not played it sitting down.
I’ve completed 65 Tasks so far. One was unsolvable due to a bug (one pipe won’t connect to other pipes), and two have a part spawning in a way that activates the water valve, but if you catch it fast enough when the levels start, you can solve them.

Meditation VR
I don’t have VR, so I was uncertain if this product would work for me. I tried it and it works fine without VR. The controls are a little different, The black screen with the VR instructions can be passed by pressing Enter on your keyboard. To get the image to be full screen you need to press F11. The ESC key will close the program. Screenshots are the usual F12.
I don’t know what the movement limitations are with VR, but you can move around without any problem when you are not in VR, The sound is also fine.

Great Relaxation App
Extremely beautiful environment with lots of little details that ramp up the realism. It’s a simple experience, sitting in a chair on a tropical beach. Nonetheless, it’s very well-done. If you enjoy casual VR experiences, it’s worth the download. The guided meditation at the beginning is pleasant, but it would be nice to have options to turn off voice and music, leaving only the nature sounds (update- I just noticed that the audio options have separate volume controls for voice, music, and sound effects- I may have just missed it before). The developer is very responsive to messages in the discussion forum and put out a patch within a couple days for a crash I was experiencing.

Its lego, in VR, its automatically cool. I will admit theres a couple of oddities, I dont get why the steps are repeated and it would be nice to rotate them rather than just move them around, make it clearer where hidden parts are going but seiroulsy, despite its flaws it works so well.

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.
– Real player with 0.2 hrs in game
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.

ANDERSON
Definitely recommend this game if you like puzzle adventures, and the price is well worth it at this time. The graphics are good and it runs well ( I am using Vive Pro wireless with Vive controllers) now that the devs have applied some quick hot fixes….this dev team is the most responsive of all game devs that I have seen on Steam ( and I have been a Steam/Valve member since 1999)….shows you how much they care about making this game great.
No real complaints as it is a lot of fun….and the puzzles are challenging but not extremely difficult. The atmosphere is generally dark and the immersion is good. Audio/sounds are well done to match the content.
– Real player with 3.3 hrs in game
Anderson is a very fun puzzle game. Even though its still in early access, it has a lot of potential! I noticed a few bugs and other issues during game play, and the developers were very receptive to the reports and suggestions.
If you like puzzle games, especially in VR, this is one title to get and solve!

DeepStates [VR]
(Received this for free thanks to the thoughtful developer, after I provided a bunch of feedback during the ‘beta’. I had been planning to buy this on release and I think the asking price is just right!).
Absolutely stunning (highly realistic) environmental beauty, not just in visual fidelity but in sound, space, and spirit.
I’ve played and enjoyed a variety of ‘environment’ apps in VR, and none of them have impacted me like this. I’m on the Reverb G2, and these spaces feel so incredibly real I almost cried just looking out at the stars and moon from the desert landscape.

This is a great vr experience, my favorite worlds were the planet and the time lapse area. The guided meditation worked surprisingly well, especially with the humming interaction, that was awesome. The mixing of the voice kind of knocked me out of it though the more I heard it. I feel like it’s too present, too much low end EQ and not enough verb. It sounds like someone speaking right next to your ear when it might be more comfortable for it to sound like it’s coming from the heavens. And maybe some gentle effect that quickly ramps up into the voice to let you know you’re about to hear it so it’s less alarming when it starts. Comfort adjustments worked great, the strobing effect was super intense (which is a good thing, I’d rather have effects like that come in strong and be able to dial them back with settings). Great work, this is awesome and I look forward to what worlds you build next.

EscapeVR: Trapped Above the Clouds
Oh boy that was an adventure !
I played escape games in real life and this virtual one is reeeeeeally good !
I can’t tell you much about the gameplay (I don’t want to spoil you) but it’s a really well designed game, really clever.
I finished it in about 1H10, taking my time.
If you have a virtual headset, you must definitly buy this piece of art of a game !
Totally worth it !
:D

Fun VR game; it took me a couple hours and I used the hints (disclaimer: I’m not familiar with escape games). The hints themselves are very much worth reading, pretty fun and well worded. They don’t give away the solution, but still point you in the right direction. Also, the game has some unexpected and nice physics effects I didn’t expect and did cost me a couple minute alone to play around with ;)
One of my first VR games, and I enjoyed the experience throughout!
