Unknown Pharaoh Reviews

This is a game with a lot of potential. In the 30 min I played, I found the traps interesting, and the environment very well done. The puzzles so far seem pretty simple, but I did not get far into the game. The traps seemed all but impossible to avoid, but I'm sure the developer will polish things up a bit as more people play the game.

Fun game with a creepy atmosphere. I've reached the second checkpoint and all has gone well. The puzzles are pretty good, some of the slab placing puzzles are mindlessly easy, but I guess it would get kind of tedious if they are all shuffled like crazy. You also have to avoid traps that can kill you. I've ran into a couple of mummies, non of which created jump scares. You simply take them out with your torch. Only gripe is that there is no teleporting. You swing your arms to move. It could potentially create a bit of motion sickness with long play sessions, though I was okay. I also occasionally got stuck when trying to walk onto a wooden ramp, where I have to do some figeting to get free. Overall though I enjoy VR adventure games where you actually advance to new areas, as I am VERY tired of wave shooters. I can recommend the game at this price.

The timing for this game couldn't be more perfect. At breakfast I was telling my wife I wanted to go to Egypt and tour a pyramid. Then I found this game on UploadVR new Vive releases and decided to try it out. Pros: * Great price for what you get. Creepy & atmospheric. * This is the closest I've come yet on the HTC Vive to exploring a real pyramid -- thanks! * The levels are phenomenal, I really enjoyed exploring the different levels. * Nice touch on the spiders, scorpions, snakes. A little more variety on snake movement would have created slightly more immersion. * Some great jump scares -- I jumped out of my skin several times, particularly when mummies came out of the darkness and when the floor caved in. Holy sh*t!!! LOL Cons: * I found the arm waving movement system tiring, so I used the controller for movement instead. I did experience motion sickness after extended play, despite always trying to look in the direction I was moving. I would greatly prefer a teleport system -- perhaps this could be a third option (you could disengage teleport when walking down stairs / across ramps). * The puzzle pieces that spelled words should be a little more scrambled -- they were either directly under the correct position or one away. Make this a little more challenging. * A few different mummy models would add to the immersion (all the mummies looked the same). Perhaps try and figure out a way to make some of them a little more difficult to kill. * The symbols on the walls are a little repetitive ... could use a little more variety (I know, I'm being picky!) Overall, this is a really great title for the price. If you are like me and have a fascination with Egypt and the pyramids, this is a must have. I am really looking forward to future updates!

Neat little game, unfortunately I could only play it for 20min before I got sick and had to play something else. I still recommend this game because of its graphics and the scares I believe it can give me and my visitors.

This has trackpad locomotion, not just arm swing. The trackpad movement speed is kind of slow, but I can tolerate it. The graphics are surprisingly good, and I like the ambiance. The puzzles are mostly easy, but I'm stuck on one right now. It definitely gets scary because it's so dark, and things will seem to pop up out of nowhere. You'll see what I mean. One negative is that you can walk through most solid objects other than walls.

As it stands I purchased this game and the audio stutters and echos making it unplayable from the very start. I've tried playing it for a few minutes but the audio will drive you nuts. This is the only game I have issues with using my VIVE, and my PC is far from under powered. If the developers would respond to my email and help me fix the issue, i will alter my review after actually being able to play the game. As it stands currently, it was a waste of money.

I have played 21 VR games, and this is the first game that gave me extreme dizzyness and nausea. There's seriously something wrong with the movement and/or viewing. ------- Pros: - Probably the closest thing you'll ever get to a real tomb. Really cool and scary! - Traps are real fun, you start to panic once you realize what is happening once you get in one. Cons: - Flat textures - You can't jump - There's no physics (you can't throw) - The fire from your stick gets in your face every time you walk - no blinking / teleportation type movement - stairs are messed up sometimes and you fall through - no hands, you only see controllers - lacks animations - It's a really great start, but it needs more work.

Great game, If you like Tomb raiding you will love this game. Mummies, Tombs and traps and climbing. Its your chance to make it out of the Tomb. Graphics are decent, cannot snap turn, puzzles are easy and fun, climbing was challenging for a workout lol Simple AI but this is a game for exploring Tombs.

Jeeezus Kerist! I played for a mere five minutes and near ♥♥♥♥ my pants. Very atmospheric, and creepy as Hell. Yes it's early access, and it does need improvement - but it's also cheap. Another reviewer complains the locomotion causes him motion sickness. I sympathise, there are games I can't play for the same reason - but this isn't one of them. I'm going to have a large Scotch to steady my nerves then I'm going in again. Wish me luck. I think games like this are what VR is all about - or should be. Well worth a fiver.

Watch my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/sj5eEmi4CDA [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] I bought this in the Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2019 for $1.49 USD. I think this game is a good bargain at that price. Game worked with absolutely no issues on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. Locomotion is either full locomotion or arm-swing, neither option has smooth / snap turning. You have to look where you want to go. I do prefer full locomotion in this game, although some of the traps seem easier to navigate through with full locomotion so you may want arm-swing for that extra added difficulty. I would call this game a very light / casual puzzle adventure game where you explore an ancient pyramid full of traps and very easy to solve puzzles. The puzzles are mostly find the symbol / object type game. It does feel like a walking simulator for 3/4 of the game. Then the last part of the game starts and it pretty much changes into a platformer / climbing stamina game. I found the last part difficult mostly because it is so long and you have so much climbing to do. [u]Whole experience took me approximately 75 minutes to finish.[/u] Combat is way too easy. You just burn the mummies. I wish there had been more to it. The graphics were okay, nothing spectacular. I enjoyed navigating the dark corridors, although some may think it's too dark and takes away from the visuals. You carry a torch to help you see for most of the game. As other reviewers have mentioned, the sounds do seem a bit off. Besides the mummies, there's cobras, spiders, and scorpions ... oh my! [b]Sale Price Rating 7/10. I wasn't expecting much for $1.49 USD and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not saying it's a great game, but for $1.49 USD I think it's a very good bargain and an adventure worth your time. I would rate a 6/10 at full retail price.[/b]
