MicroSpy Reviews

crap, cant get any controller to work with this. makes it useless in VR

i played in on the vive. this is something fresh and interesting! 3 (short) missions in total. worth the money.

Cannot recommend game for Oculus Rift VR in current state. No controls in the main menu. Have to start the game out of Steam then launch in VR mode. Have to use keybaord while using HMD pointer to start and select a mission or tutorial which is cumberson at best and impossible if not a long enough keyboard cable. Tried mission to obtain secret data files and put them onto a USB sticka and unable to enter the password obtained using the xbox one controller, keyboard and mouse. Game is unplayable in VR in current state.

PROS: + It's a neat idea. + It has VR support (which is nice if you own a VR setup) + It's cheap. CONS: - Will often start in VR mode (even if you told the game you wanted to play in non-VR mode), which leaves you completely unable to do anything, even exit the game unless you ALT F4. This isn't consistent, however, so non-VR mode might load properly once or even twice, but after that, you'll never see it again. - The controls are a complete mess. Nothing makes sense at all. For instance, you can't go backwards or change your elevation, you can only go forward (with "W") and steer with the mouse. "D" is apparently night vision, "A" lets you land on objects, but doesn't work, and "E" is a camera that does nothing. - There are no settings or options menu (other than choosing VR mode or non-VR mode, but that doesn't usually work either and automatically loads VR mode), so you can't change the graphics or audio at all. - The tutorial is an empty room with the controls displayed in front of you. Basically, it's the "controls list" of a normal game's options menu. An actual tutorial, that teaches you the basics of the game doesn't exist. - As far as I can tell, there is no way to save mid-mission, not that it really matters considering the game is practically unplayable. VERDICT: This isn't a game, it's a cruel practical joke. As a commercial product sold on Steam, it's complete garbage. The game doesn't do a single thing right. I dont care how cheap it is, it wouldn't be worth it if it were free. In fact, if Microspy weren't as cheap as it is, I'd request a refund, but for under $3 there's really no point. So stay far away and never buy it unless you're a masochist or hate the person you're sending it to as a gift.

Bought this for the VR. Game fails to launch properly. The user begins above and in front of the opening menu. No Xbox controler support even after the 7/24/17 patch. (No Oculus Touch support to fall back on) When launching, it always launches in VR mode with no option for non VR mode. *Exception being inside your VR rig under the steam VR client saying that you can launch the non VR application...from within your VR rig....?? Long story short... 15 minutes of trouble shooting and now getting refunded. Too bad. The game looked great, but the interface killed it.
