There Came an Echo
In a digitally-aware world encryption is everything. In light of recent revelations involving the NSA and GCHQ spying on much of the world’s internet traffic, encryption has become a hot button issue. Whether you know how it works or not, it’s there securing your online presence against unwanted intruders. And yet, how often do you stop and think about the people who make your communications and data secure? Not often, I’ll wager. In There Came An Echo, Corrin is one of those people, one of those geniuses, you might say. He’s your typical computer whizz and he is about to become embroiled in something larger than himself, or anything the physical world has to offer.

Disclosure: I backed this game on Kickstarter.
This review is about the 1.06 version of the game.
There Came an Echo is a game made from independent game developer Iridium Studios.
It is based in a not too distant sci-fi setting and has teambased RTS elements.
The innovation of the game is that the issuing of orders to your team is done with voice control,
meaning you issue the commands using a microphone, the game registers them and the respective units execute the orders.
It is possible to play the game without using a microphone though i do not suggest it since the voice control is fairly responsive.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar™
EndWar is a game that I absolutely love. It is one of the new wave RTS games where you do not build bases and only control the units you have and have to make the best of it. It is not an strategy game, it is a TACTICS game and it does it very, very well. The combat is rock-paper-scissors with many combinations, plus special attacks that can turn the table on a stronger opponent. Couple that with the three supports (Air Strike, Force Recon and Electronic Warfare) and you can have quite dynamic battles.

WARNING: SPOILERS
EndWar is a game for those who prefer strategy over running like a maniac with SMG’s. You are a colonel, your rank is only below the generals, although you really have more combat power than they do. As a commander of the Joint Strike Force (USA), the Enforcer Corps (Europe), or the Spetsnaz (Ruskies), you get your very own battle advisor, in other words, a war secretary, a whole battalion of your nations finest, and access to WMD’s (Weapon of Mass Destruction). One of those weapons being a big sattalite dropping kinetic rods with enough firepower to take out Time’s Square. The combat is simple. click on a unit, and tell it: Attack enemy, Secure Uplink (Major Part Of Game), Send Nuke Here, or even evacuate to ensure its survival. However, the game was engineered for one purpose,,,,VOICE COMMANDS. Yes ladies and gentlmen, even though this was made in 2008 it still surpasses even Googles voice search. Using a simple way of speaking to units such as, “Unit 3, attack hostile 4.” Why use a mouse when you can just say “SEND THE NUKE!” Before I get excited, i’m gonna stop myself and just finish with this. Watch a gameplay video, see if its your cup of tea, buy the tea, and DECLARE WAR!

In Verbis Virtus
TL;DR:
This game has great atmosphere with an immersive spellcasting system and nonlinear level design that also at times has really clever and hard to figure out puzzles!
Pros:
-
Fun and a really Great way of doing spellcasting that makes the game so much immersive!
-
Also if for some reason you’re having trouble casing some of the spells, make your own voice recognition model (it’s a feature implemented in the game, just go into the options menu).
This actually, for me at least, nullifies the ‘con’ I’d otherwise have since I found it a bit tricky to cast the ‘mark of fire’ spell.

In Verbis Virtus is a terrible game that you probably should not play, but not for half of the reasons I’ve seen in other negative reviews for which I’d like to clarify here.
Bad points that actually were not bad:
Like you, I was lured to this game by the voice command spells. I believe the people saying that this does not work do not have it configured well or do not have a mic. The store page warns you to have a mic, and outside of a very few moments in game I found the voice commands to work very well even when speaking quietly, and I have a voice that mumbles, so that piece impressed me.

My Little Army
Resurrect your undead skeleton army, equip them with ancient artifacts and become the greatest boss like no one before. Kill good guys, bad guys, eradicate or enslave other monster clans. Your goal is to earn the title of the Greatest Evil. Does this sound badass? Better read mode.
You will be able to command army by your own voice. Yeah, its possible. You can shout, yell, scream at your minions and it works! I mean that they become even more angry, deal more damage and start act like a total fools… Well, sometimes it’s not the best way out because ability to recrut more minions is limited. Better take care of them.
Starship Commander: Arcade
I can’t recommend this to anyone other than those that want to support VR development.
Sorry, but I was thoroughly unimpressed with every single aspect of this project. I’m not sure I would have even been impressed 3 years ago. It’s just not a good game. Period. The graphics are uninspired. In a world with Alexa and Siri, the voice recognition and responses are pathetically limited. In a world with Half Life: Alyx, this hardly even qualifies as a VR tech demo… even for a mobile VR platform, let alone the Vive Index I played on.

Experienced on the Oculus Rift
You can view my (edited) gameplay here: https://youtu.be/FoH5CmxQVvo
This is an approximately 13 minute cinematic experience, which has varying scenes depending on your voiced answers. This is like a 360 stereoscopic video, choose your own adventure type experience, which is like the stuff on Amaze VR. You don’t use motion controllers at all. It can be fun to try to find new scenes based on your novel responses. Unfortunately, even though the reviewer VR Focus said the AI was good, the AI responses really aren’t good and have severe limitations … but they can be funny (I wouldn’t trust VR Focus who seems more concerned about clicks than accuracy in his reports).

SoundSelf: A Technodelic
tl;DR: I am genuinely amazed at how effective this “game” is at its stated goal of inducing transcendental states of consciousness. Was skeptical, but then profoundly amazed. Literally helped transform my consciousness. (More on what that even f***ing means down below.) It can have the same sort of power (and therefore danger) as psychedelics, be careful. Lay down or get a neck pillow with a HMD.
I have a lot of experience with meditation, hypnosis, LSD, mindfulness, and healing complex PTSD, so I did have some background in mental restructuring before going in. However, I didn’t take the claims or warnings seriously, I figured it was marketing fluff. “Ask my doctor? Don’t operate heavy machinery? What the hell, I mean, it’s just some computer program, how much could it really do to me? I’ve done heroic doses of acid, I’ve even done DMT man. I bet it’ll barely do anything outside of a placebo effect.”

Tibetan Monk Simulator 2020
Seriously though, SoundSelf isn’t like any other “game” I’ve ever played. It’s not so much a game as a piece of software that’s designed to induce an altered state of consciousness. I don’t think it’s fair to liken it to a drug trip because it’s not like being high; it’s more like doing an extended meditation session but you don’t necessarily have to meditate for half an hour.
The visuals combined with the audio feedback and modulation of your own toning helps to lull your analytical mind into passivity so that you can enter a purer state of being. You can literally feel the shift in your consciousness as you slip into that meditative state. My opinion is that this is a fantastic tool for those that have been looking for a way to start a meditation practice or enhance one they already have. In my case it got me meditating again regularly after years of neglect.

One Hand Clapping
This game is super neat, especially if you already have a vocal background. It could get frustrating otherwise, as you will be asked to match pitch and harmonize. There’s also some rhythm elements, so having a sense for that will also help.
The sound design is lush and gives many clues. It takes the sounds that you’re producing and incorporates them into the game as you go, resulting in even richer soundscapes. The puzzles are occasionally mildly bewildering, but then they click and become super intuitive. The art style is super cute.

I love this game! I finished my first playthrough the same day it finished downloading, and I’m definitely going to play through it again. I keep hearing that the devs are going to add more content, which is super exciting. The voice controls are wonderfully intuitive - I grew up playing some of the first video games that used singing as a mechanic (think karaoke games) and wow - things have changed in a good way.
Some things to note: you’re going to want a decent mic for this. It doesn’t need to break the bank, but you should probably have a pop filter on it for best results. I didn’t play with one and it definitely picked up background noise on occasion. I’m not sure how to adjust the sensitivity of my mic personally, but you’re gonna wanna play around with things until you find something that works with your setup.

Espire 1: VR Operative
Espire 1 is currently my favorite VR stealth game. It was rough at launch but the major issues related to glitchy and inconsistent guard behavior seem to have been ironed out with the first update. There’s already plenty of fun to have in the challenge missions and I’m looking forward to more being added to the game over time.
The performance of this game is very good overall as you would expect from something that was simultaneously developed for the Quest headset. While this means the environments are somewhat bare I prefer the approach because of the higher frame rate. I often see frame drops in other stealth games like Budget Cuts or Unknightly with an RTX 2060 but I can run most of Espire 1’s challenge missions at 144 FPS without a hitch.

SHORT VERSION:
It can be fun and there is a freedom in it that is not like other VR stealth games but the glitches and certain factors of the game kinda ruin it.
I am waiting till the updates fix it to play again.
If you don’t have it, follow it on news and pay attention to updates. Or wait for it to be discounted, at least then if you don’t like it you wouldn’t have paid the full price.
LONG VERSION:
Best attempt at a fun stealth game, but so far a little disappointing.
Not saying I didn’t have fun, but certain glitches and game design ruined fun playthroughs.
