Tarzan VR™ The Trilogy Edition Reviews

I'm using i7 7700K (4.5 Ghz), GTX 1080 8GB and 16GB 3200 MHz - and both Valve Index and Rift CV1. Although many textures are very low-res, there are also many nice/great textures, but none even remotely close to Alyx. Still the game looks great - and I like being able to just explore. The world feels alive and breathing. Did go into the water and it suddenly got deep - and in my mind I started hearing music from Jaws, and I was very quick to get out of the water, lol. Performance and image quality are great with the Index - 4xMSAA, render scale 1.0 and all other settings maxed make the game look close to the best it can. Motion smoothing is my friend, not my enemy, and I'll probably need a 3080 to use render scale 1.5 - but MSAA seems most important to reduce jaggies. Controls aren't perfect when climbing, but work well enough - you got full locomotion and smooth turning among other options. Need to play more to get a better idea of the gameplay - already spent nearly an hour exploring the first island. I prefer Index for this game, but it looks nice using Rift CV1 - and you've got native Oculus driver support, thus the Steam version can be started for Oculus Home, very cool! Tarzan VR is a very simple game, I consider it close to an arcade beat'em up like Double Dragon, lol. It's fun in smaller potions, but can easily get dull and repetitive. Btw, this game needs a proper save function! Right now I have to play through Issue 1 from the beginning everytime I try to start the game - extremely annyoing!

It’s simple straightforward gameplay but the environment is well polished. The game is just simple clean fun with very immersive world space to explore. The swimming is fluid and fun, I hope they add some water based activities like fishing and such in the future. The first issue is short, yes, but many VR games are short. It’s just very costly to produce longer content. Can’t fault the developer for that with a shitty review. At the end of the day the length of gameplay didn’t seem outrageous for the price.

It's a lot of fun being Tarzan! I played the game with the new HP Reverb G2 WMR headset. (The game did have default binds.) Episodes are fast, did not time it but maybe an hour' ish each. Spent about an hour or so exploring the home base as well. So might want to wait for a discount. That being said, I cant wait for episode 3! One tip I would like to share, when swimming let go of the grip button after you stroke and reposition your hands then hold grip again and stroke.

I didn't like this. The combat was rubbish, there is a narrative voice mumbling in your ears continually at an inaudible volume and it was too short for the price.

This game has everything going for it. Beautiful graphics, average performance, awesome audio stories, great voice acting. (sadly no subtitles) the 1hr playtime steam shows is weird bc according to me, it took me 40min and ~35min for the 2nd one, so pretty short I can forget about the length of a game if the quality was good, and at first it looked like it would be, but sadly, "mechanically" Tarzan VR is... pretty bad. While locomotion and snap turning work fine... everything else feels like a chore, fighting was as simple as you can get, you could wiggle the control and get hits, or just do a hammering motion on top of them and dont let them get up. Climbing was horrible, like one of the worst climbings ive had the unpleasure to use, there is one obligatory story part climbing section (with awesome over audio of one of the original radio shows) and it was awful, clunky, slow, unsafe, and very uninspired. Swinging was... ok? but weird, you dont grab the vines, you magically pull them towards you from a distance, it takes a bit to get a hang of (once you can measure more or less accurately guess when youll be in pull distance), but once you do you its fine. BUT this really takes a lot away from what i expected it would work, there are 2 ~cool swinging parts, but there are a bunch of very annoying ones, like the vines are pretty far away, and at first you dont even consider them, but turns out its the way to go. (i honestly thought i had found a hidden secret area one time and turns out it was just the way i needed to go to continue the story) Bad climbing and weird uninspired swinging, absolutely not what i expected from a Tarzan game. The gorilla encounters stop the flow of the game, you encounter them and they go "hurry go get jane... bla bla bla" and keep talking, and you dont want to miss the voice acting, but arent you in a hurry? they dont follow you and talk, you have to stop and listen what they have to say right there, at a certain point i just ignored them, and thats a shame. Also, and while at the start of the game they say they will fight with me, and they always just run away... thinking about it, for being king of the jungle i never got any help from any animals, there was a lion (that looked like it was starving), but i think he just kinda pondered stuff or something, crappy 2nd in line for jungle king honestly. All around the levels felt very linear and a wasted opportunity. There where no parts i thought "hope to do that again!" but a bunch of "ugh i hope i dont have to get through that crap another time" I can not recommend this game because it felt annoying to play, and way too short.

I can't recommend this game in its current state. I'm using a Reverb G2 and climbing is impossible. When I grab onto a ladder with one hand, my other hand won't grab. It's like it only responds to one hand at a time instead of both. With some rebinding, I was able to at least get smooth turning working, but the game needs more polish as far as controls go. It says it supports Mixed Reality, but that doesn't seem to include Reverb G2 owners like me. Which is a shame, because the game looks really great with my headset. If there is some fix for climbing, let me know. Right now no matter what I try to climb, only one hand gets to grab, and sometimes one of my hands seems to get stuck and unable to move. A known issue being worked on? I want to see games like this do well, and will change my review when these issues get resolved.

Honestly, it was stupid for me to buy this immediately when it released. The trailers made it seem like this was going to be a exploratory game and you could go where you want, and when. But the story released first (#1) was beaten in less than 20 minutes and was so, SOO linear, there was no exploratory part to the story. And honestly, if this game was sort of like a sandbox game, it would be my favorite VR game to date. But instead it was just another linear, boring game. And with the backing of Tarzan you might of thought it would've been fun (and it is for like 5 min) but even with the backing of Tarzan they somehow fucked this game up pretty badly.

Still playing - 1.5 hours on the base and first chapter so far. I don't think it really represents this game the current mixed rating. Most negative comments are length vs $$ related. I have no idea what the cost is for you at any given time nor do i know what kind of player you are so ill just say this is a very visually appealing experience with some really fun game play and it has clearly been created by an experienced and professional team. It is GREAT VR content . And with any VR content, a lot also then depends on what you are looking for, your desire to experience vs rush and how cheap/entitled you are. It is well worth $20 to me based on the quality alone. IMO, these are the ones that should be supported to encourage more development of this class. Maybe if this was the norm id say its too short for the cost, but this is not the norm on quality and i have paid a lot more for things i have gotten a lot less enjoyment out of. YES - If you want to speed run this thing (and anything else) then it can be pretty short (thats kind of on you though to be fair). But if you want to enjoy it you CAN get more out of it. And you can show it off to visitors and get even more out of it - its not a very complicated control scheme that noobs cant quickly follow. There is ALSO room to improve and enhance it (it has the feel of a game with TONS of untapped potential) but i see that as a good trait since there is enough in it to also be fun as is. [spoiler] For example, i was swimming around a bit and found some clams underwater with pearls. Didn't get it at first but ate one and my air refilled letting me stay under longer. So i kept looking for clams, followed some bubbles in the distance and BAM - big ass Gator ate me. [/spoiler] So its kind of up to you if its worth the cost...but a fair review of the product itself would show up as very positive. Visuals excellent, fun feel, immersive, some exploration potential and not totally canned. Fun AF to bust crates and stuff. Gorn like fighting with variety of weapons... On the ideal improvement side - a bit repetitive in spots, could use more easter eggs and mini games or interractions, takes some trial and error to really get smooth gameplay (but it gets there eventually), could use a bit more variety to Flora and Fauna, SAVE / LOAD FUNCTION within chapters, expand exploration and make some more sandbox features. Id give it a strong 8 / 10 and will continue to purchase the DLC. More of this stuff is better.

Honestly was pretty disappointed , the whole game is just an intro for the next dlcs but was understandable for 17$. If you go to play on window mixed reality there was 0 controller bindings but i made my own. The game looks amazing , but the combat is kind of sloppy and the only mechanic that really works is the grabbing and throwing enemy's You dont feel as if you punch anything or made contact with an object you just float through them almost The tree swinging was great tho !

It’s 45 minutes of shallow, linear, gameplay wrapped in beautiful cell shaded artwork. Just can’t recommend at $15 unless all chapters are included.
