Wish I could give a neutral recommendation, This game seems cool I just can't play it for whatever reason. It won't let me start a game.

It is not one of the most fleshed out VR games but I still love it for some reason while my dudes are cruming around I play the arcade game or go on the computer and look at shit but there are issues with the lads pathfinding and sometimes they go on strike and dont come out of the mineshaft so you have to arm untrained farmers to quench the rebellious act, to say the least its bloody and your lads will be thrown into a civil war because the coders are sadistic and want to watch my mine be wasted because it dropped on the floor and I cant just pick it up and put it on the table. Though these bugs are a pain in the as-s I do like being in a basement sentencing poor people to a military labor camp because they dont think I the ruler of the land can torture innocents by picking them up and throwing them. [b] 3/5 if they fix bugs and update content this will be up there in epic VR games. [/b]

Played with the Index
A fun little game at first. A little clunky controls but bearable. Especially for that price. A lot of fun ideas and gimmicks in the room.
Good music as well.
So I started enjoying it in the first 30 minutes, although the controls annoyed me a bit sooner than I expected. After a crash of the game none of the progress was saved and I didn't even want to start building the little world of the LADS again.
There where also other bugs like things got flung through the room as soon as the LADS interacted with it.
TLDR: Cool concept, it would be a fun game and worth a recommendation if it wasn't for the unpolished controls and bugs.
Thinking about a refund...

i wish the dev had finished this game, becuase its actually a really cool idea. i hope another dev will see this and make a even better game out of this idea. there was a patch or two, but so many things not addressed. i mean the little lads dont even have sound effects. they dont feel alive in the slightest. then bugs are everywhere, and for some reason just grabbing items is difficult. controls are bad, i even left a forum post about it, but to turn you have to point your teleporter at the ground and point in the direction. one of my most hated movement and turning options. its like they smashed turning in with moving to get it out of the way, and never has it felt good.
items glitch constanty, saves fail to load.... that one will really piss you off there. then there is the lads themselves which get stuck ALL THE TIME. once you get about 5 lads, it becomes unplayable becuase you are constantly sorting out bugs to continue, wasting so much time. eventually you will be worn down and admit defeat.
anyways i cant recommend anyone buy this, even if there was alot of cool ideas here.

There are a lot of cool ideas here and the concept is strong. I love the computer with a real mouse and the scanner system. The problem is that the performance is really bad, I was struggling to get 60 on a 1080ti, and the controls on the index just don't work. The controls need another pass and the game obviously needs to be optimized. Beyond that I'm not sure how much content there is right now and there haven't really been updates.

Controls and tutorial seek to deliberately frustrate the player and obfuscate where we need a gentle guide through the mechanics of the game.
Couldn't figure anything out at all.

Do Not Buy This Game
The description and video are a lie.
You can play the game up to a point, but there is no way to make weapons, so there is no way you can attack or defend anything.
Also the developers have moved on to other games after seeming abandoning this 1/4 done game very soon after launch.
I held off reviewing this in the hope they would do an update, but no nothing.
The game is a dead end.
