FamilyWorldRoam Reviews

MEH.

Just purchased this game to see how chill it was. It's pretty chill. I tried all the different things: space station (one room, as far as I could tell), painting (bob rossish), air balloon -- I was testing this in seated position and i was excited above all else to try air balloon...it doesn't work seated. I also haven't seen an in-game options menu to change any controls, raise or lower, etc. Ferris Wheel was fairly generic but an interesting and simple introduction as it was the first button I tried. Fireworks was pretty cool, again standard with not many to play with but it has potential and is fun to mingle with. Underwater had fun movement controls which made it interesting trying to time the movements with the sea creatures...and interestingly the controls are similar on the space station, nice floaty underwater effect right there. Aurora...now this one I really enjoyed. I free-roamed over to the lightning bugs and just looked around, it was beautiful, kept going and fell off the map. I was then under the map, walking on water jesus mode while seeing above some of how it had been built, there's so much you could do with that map if you wanted to, I'd play that as a shooter map even....that experience was enough to give this a positive review. As far as first impressions go, it was relaxing and I enjoyed it. As far as critique, please add more control and camera options in time. I would prefer walking with the left thumbstick and turning/looking with the right thumbstick, I'm sure many others would too. Not bad though, not bad at all.

‘FamilyWorldRoam’ is a collection of 6 experiences from a slow hotair balloon flight, to a giant Ferris wheel and even some drawing. If this was free it might have been worth a look, but it most definitely isn’t worth the £4.79 asking price. It looks OK at times I suppose, but that is the only praise I can give it. The first main problem is that the developer describes this as an app that “doesn’t need complex operation”, but it is an utter shit-show to move about. There are far better things to show people new to VR that doesn’t need any movement so when this app fails to do even that it makes it kind of pointless.
