[u]This is a neutral recommendation.[/u] I am not recommending this game in its current state. However, if the idea of this game interests you, then you may consider supporting the development (knowing the risk in general of doing this).
Is this a good game currently? No. Is this a good concept? Yes. Is there enough here for the budget price? That's a very tough call. I say maybe if you like the idea of this game then you may get your money's worth. But it is difficult for me to recommend this game knowing the issues.
The biggest issue is the LOD. It's really bad on the Cook Mountain, Australia map. Lots of pop-in and the draw distance is very low without any way of changing it from within the game. It looks very bad. Keep in mind, this game currently only has two maps. This game should be labeled as Early Access. It has 4 maps listed as coming soon. That would be 2/3 of the game still not available.
The other big issue, besides LOD and limited content, is that you have to register an e-mail address with a 3rd party site. Why? Why do some VR developers insist on doing this? You are literally killing off sales of your game. Nobody wants to register with a 3rd party site to play a game they are paying for. Nobody.
Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, on high graphical settings, I was getting a steady 90 fps. However, I didn't really notice much of a difference between high or low graphical settings. You do have full locomotion, along with snap turning. The only settings available are graphical (high, medium, or low) and music, plus volume. The controls are switched from the normal left joystick controlling movement, to the right stick controlling movement. Why? I have no idea but apparently this developer is left-handed and has never played a game before with a controller.
[b]Rate 5/10. Only buy to support development, knowing risks involved that it is possible game doesn't get updated in the future.[/b]
