Ven VR Adventure Reviews

This is the best game in VR right now....bar none in my opinion. I have had so much fun, even though I only finished the 1st two (2) levels...only ~ 3 hours into it thus far. The only issue is the Track Pad movement on the HTC Vive controls makes it even more challenging (frustrating really). It seems like you press diagonal just to go straight, which really messes things up, and I die a lot because of it. Still though, just sticking to it and repeating time after time to progress through it. I got this on sale during the Autumn (Thanksgiving) sale, and I only paid $19 for it. It is certainly worth the $30 asking price though. The cartoon graphics are great, and It is polished already. No bugs at all have I encountered thus far. I hope the levels just keep on coming! Nice work, Developers!

A big warning - this game is unbelievably hard, but it is so good that yet it did not get frustrating for me. Besides the absurd difficulty, this game is amazing - the creativity and design of the levels, graphic, background music and sound, everything is great. I am not a flat-screen platformer fan at all, but VR made this a whole different experience, and this one is one of the best out there.

So far it is a fun game but I will take a break from it until they allow gamepad support as the left side of my vive controller is messed up.

Normally I don't post reviews but this game is an exception. It is one of the best VR games I have ever played. I love the graphics, the gameplay, the music. The camera position some other reviewers write about took me 5 minutes to get used too and are no problem for me at all. Sometimes I just took a break in the game to admire the surroundings. I play on an Oculus Quest 1 with Oculus link. Thank you Monologic Games for making this game!!!

Good VR platformers are very rare, so I'm glad this game is finally released! I only played Ven 1 hour so far and finished level 2, but so far I like it. Very nice graphics, music and level designs and the game works flawlessly and absolutely smooth under Linux via SteamPlay/Proton (5.13-5). If you like platformers and are searching for VR titles, you will probably like this game! Here are some suggestions to make it even better: - add (optional) camera controls (smooth rotation at least, but free camera movement would be really great) - at least in the first 2 levels you did not have the option to directly interact with the area (prepare the path with moving blocks, open secret doors etc) - this would improve the game a lot! - add hidden areas and secrets - later add more levels (dlcs) or maybe even release a level editor (steam workshop)

I wanted to love this game so much! The characters, design, interactions are so adorable and I'd love to play it through, but after 40 minutes of play I got so frustrated by the constant camera issues that I decided to ask a refund (played seated). I think the biggest problem is that the camera is not moving back I try to get back with the main character. Another problem is that there are places where due to the camera's place I cannot see the main character.

The game's camera is constantly moving the player while the player is trying to focus on controlling Ven's platforming. Moving the player like this is not a good design decision resulting in a game that is not fun and overpriced for the short 3 hours of playtime. Ven's melee combat is not punchy or satisfying. It's not like the crisp gameplay that Astrobot has. The devs should have adopted an approach similar to Astrobot.

The (Valve Index) controllers are badly supported; button responses are lagging making fluid gameplay impossible and playing this game a chore. The design choice to move the camera forward instead of following the Ven character is a strange one. Sometimes it is impossible to see where he is at. Dissapointed because I like a good platform game in VR. Aside from the graphics I did not find a playable game here so I refunded. Update: In response to devs question on index controllers. 'Running and high jumping' followed by 'Running and high jumping' results in a 'low jump' on the second jump. Have to stop in between jumps to accomplish the second 'high jump'. Am not experiencing this lagging behavior of the controllers in other games.

Very basic gameplay with a TERRIBLE camera system. I've tried coming back to this game multiple times but each time the camera just kills the experience for me. On top of that, the devs for this game made many promises for PC but never came through. Read through the Steam Discussion board and you will see them making promises to add achievements and doing hotfixes to make the game better. Multiple years later and no patches seem like a clear indication on their intent. The game could have been good but due to lack of polish and devs that don't care about PC, this game is pretty sub-par.

Really liking the game, the visuals are awesome and gameplay is different to anything iv played which makes it very enjoyable. So far I’d rate it up there with moss as a solid platformer game. I’m using 8kx with index controllers and have no issues so far, nice work on the game!👍
