The Tau Ceti Terminus Reviews

something broke. It doesn't tell you what, it doesn't tell you how to fix it and it doesn't give any indication

I played this VR game while spending a weekend with a friend - I do not own a VR setup. Admittingly I am a bit of an old-school gamer (I prefer strategy/thinky games over FPS and the like), but I really enjoyed playing TCT. While the detail of the artwork is sorta basic by today's standards, the overall artistic feel, gameplay, soundtrack, and VR-world (new to me) creates an outstanding, eerily-immersive experience. This is a solve-the-problem style game, and in my short experience is not an easy solve. I played for 3-4 hours over two days (not my original intention while visiting my friend), but during that time I experienced being stumped, solving a couple problems, fighting a creature on the planet surface, and destroying numerous ships trying to manually land them on a spinning space station (not as easy as it sounds). If I ever get around to getting a VR setup, I hope more games like this are produced/available.

I'm not sure what 'The Tau Ceti Terminus' was trying to do, but it is clearly not ready to publish. You start off in a ship with something broke. It doesn't tell you what, it doesn't tell you how to fix it and it doesn't give any indication of where your £15.49 has gone. All I do know for sure is that this game, or app or whatever it is needs some serious work before it is worth even a fraction of its current price. Until this game gets some clues as to what to do and way more spit and polish I suggest you stay well clear of it. I will be getting a refund for now, but maybe it will grow with time.
