VR historical journey to the age of Crusaders: Medieval Jerusalem, Saracen Cities, Arabic Culture, East Land Reviews

Personally, I rather like this 'Time Machine' collection and the various things bundled with it. There are some really cool environments, visual effects and music - though the latter seems to bug out on some of the games, only playing during the menu. For those of us who've bought all these different games, it would be ideal if we could access just one menu giving access to every environment, rather than exiting to Steam every time one fancies a change in continent or century; also, smooth locomotion, since clicking the Oculus Touch controller sticks to teleport is a rather annoying way of getting around. For anyone curious in case it's not clear, these are not games as such, but just VR environments (mini-games and treasure hunt modes aside which to be fair I haven't paid attention to). Sometimes you just want to relax in the ancient past, the apocalyptic future or the depths of space without having to worry about objectives or enemies and so on, and they scratch that itch quite well, even if not having the polish of something like Nature Treks VR. There are some great creative touches and I'd love to see more from the developer.

This is really a fifteen minute virtual tourism journey. Ignore the games but take a wander through the town / castle type area for an interesting view of the crusader world. There aren't any people and there are a few popup problems but it is still worth a wander. As part of a package sale at a low per game price this is a something over a buck and a quarter hour reasonably well wasted 'game'. It makes me dream of the assasin's creed devs making a professional version of this but until then...

This is yet another in a long series of asset flip type amateur hour VR productions. It's titled like it's some historical Jerusalem biblical stuff, but looks more like the american Southwest circa 1965 or something. This seems par for the course with the rest of this guy's cheeseball titles. It looks to me like he grabbed some background asset packs off of unity's store or something, and then paired it up with 4 minigames that don't even belong together much less in the same title as "historical journey to Jerusalem", and then he copy pasted the exact same base "game" with a dozen or so scenery packs. TA DA! When do the big bucks start rolling in? Do I get trading cards? I hear those are big bucks with the asset flip crowd! DIgital Homocide? Illusive Team? You guys wanna hook a brotha up? Anyway, this is garbage... I'm not even going to bother reviewing each title separately because they're all pretty much identical except for some of the scenery. You get a handful of scenery to teleport around in but you can't interact with anything. There's no quality control on the way stuff interacts with each other even so you get plants growing through walls, and you can easily teleport out of bounds and see unfinished stuff all over the place. Just about the most polished part of this are the minigames. There's a "Snake fighting" game which has nothing to with fighting, and yeah, there's a snake in it but it's not even as good as the mobile game from your old Nokia phone. It looks to me like it was meant to be some kind of therapy program for doctors to use to help people exercise their necks after an injury (and it says "for neck exercise" on it when you start it up). There's another crappy hunting game with the worst bow and arrow mechanics you can imagine. Think of the worst Bow and Arrow game from 2016 and then make it worse than that. It's bad. For some reason you're shooting deer in ancient Japan amidst sakura and bamboo. Related to this game is a fishing game in the same forest (but there's a nearby pond) and you have to spear the fish with this comically large trident like spear. I've never seen anything quite like this but it's probably from a cheap unity asset pack. There was another "Snake football" game but I didn't bother with it. It's probably another neck exercise game where you have to roll your neck around in circles to get the snake to move a ball somewhere. I don't know, it's really not worth trying (though if I get bored maybe I'll come back and edit this). So the tl:dr is this: You're paying for a crappy asset flip that's not even fun OR educational. Maybe the mingames would entertain a 5 year old while she sings "baby shark doo doo doodoo doodoo" or plays with her Elsa and Spiderman dolls. Don't waste your money
