Discovering Space 2 Reviews

I very much enjoyed this title when I first got it a couple years ago when I first got my HTC Vive. Unfortunately, it seems the dev team have abandoned this title since there are many complaints in this game's forums mentioning that the moons and planets do not appear when in tour mode, I agree, I just got a Samsung Odyssey Plus (Windows Mixed Reality) and I'm having that problem too. In the forums, I haven't seen any comment from the Dev team about possibly fixing this title. This is so unfortunate for a pretty cool title. DO NOT waste your money on this title, chances are it will not work for you, Vive Pro, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality users are all complaining about this problem.

Quite possibly everything I expected with what was advertised. Amazing graphics and realistic speed. Only complaint is that the controls are a bit messed up on the rift when it comes to pushing the control panel. 8/10

Disappointing that there are no planets to see. (some kind of bug and apparently there is no fix coming for this). I really liked the sense of presence when sitting in and navigating the ship (this could have been one of my favorites!). Unfortunately, I can only navigate through space and can never see any planets because the bug prevents them from being visible, which renders this completely pointless. Apparently there is a 3rd party fix (see discussion area) that has worked for some but I am not willing to download something from an "untrusted site" for this. I am using the Reverb G2 with Geforce RTX 2070 Super. I don't know the technical reasons for this but apparently some can see the planets when they arrive to their destination but some like myself cannot see them.

I truly loved this game so much when it first came out. It was by far one of the best VR games for space exploration, but then one day no planets or stars would render. They were all gone, including even earth! So sad, no updates, just a great game that died too early for no reason.

Awsomne,my favourite has to be earth,its moon and saturn,i love saturns rings and being close to saturns suface,fills you with awe 5 stars( maybe a slightly higher resolution on quest 2 of the suface of the planets would be nice),beutifull *****,thank you app developers❤️ Spaceships are easy to use and learn which is great too,used with the help of cloud gaming pc ( paperspace) highly recomended,great for education

The tours are well done.... The complaints on the Planets not showing up on various headsets can be fixed by going here.. This Open Source utility (PseudoVive) can be used for your headset to be identified as a regular Vive to SteamVR applications. It works great on my Valve Index. https://github.com/schellingb/PseudoVive

No planets or moons are visible on Valve Index. When touring there are several narrators talking over each other. Once you've selected tour mode there appears to be no way to get back to the main menu and select free flight instead. I had high hopes for this game based on the reviews, unfortunately I had to request a refund as all I can do is sit in a spaceship and look at a starry background.

I tried both guided tour and free modes, there was no planet or any other space stuff except the space background and the ship. It doesn't seem as a simple loading error. In guided tour mode, A narrator explains about a planet which seems to be I am orbiting around, but no visual except an empty space. There is something serious bug with this game.

For me, easily the most underrated VR game to date. This is the most accessable and exciting space-sim I've played. It might not have the depth of Elite: Dangerous, but that's really a good thing because it makes for a much better showcase to others, and you can just relax and float in space in amazing realism. Few VR games continue to give me that Wow! feeling as this game. This is the reason you buy VR. Amazing, A+++. Can't recommend it enough.

Does not work with the Vive-ProWorked (ok with Vive Original). No Planetary bodies are visible in Tour Mode. Can't recommend unless fixed.
