OVERVIEW (A Walk Through The Universe) Reviews

This is the greatest VR experience to date. Amazing, immersive, informative. I watched the first chapter out of curiosity and found myself watching the whole thing. I'm now annoying the crap out of everyone telling them to watch this. The elderly rellies have also been gobsmacked by it. Do yourself a favour and grab this. I picked it up on special and I almost feel guilty that something as well crafted as this was available at such a low price. This is a must-have in anyone's collection, worthy at whatever price its on sale for. Congrats to the devs ... this is a work of art.

Breath-taking! I'm speechless. This app really takes you on a ride outside our galaxy. It's very informative, beautiful and relaxing. I just which they had more episodes for the documentary.

Very unimpressed with this compared to others I have tried. Minimal content and poor graphics in parts. Not recommended as it stands. Refunded!

This should have more than Mixed review. It's really interesting, even going to the planetarium cannot show the scale of the universe as much as this one do. I had problem with it when I had my vive and a RX480, but with the index and a 2070 super, it's really smooth. I recommend it.

If you really want to deflate your ego this program will definitely put everything into focus. This makes you really understand how insignificant our little planet really is. We may think where the center of the universe but this will definitely let you know you are not. Extremely well done and you can lose yourself for many hours in this program looking at amazing things that we will never experience in our lifetime. Things like flying through the rings of Saturn are watching our earth changing from a night time to day from the Moon general location and even closer. After spending over an hour using and without any problems (that they have only scratched the surface) it is deftly worth the money and if you have any interest in space this is definitely a wonderful program to have in your library.

$20 for this? They must be joking. This is not worth even $5. Despite their claim, there is no sense of real scale; everything appears as if it were a miniature model. The narrator has a pleasant voice, but the script reads like a dry Wikipidea article. The pace is slow, the animations trivial, and the planet textures uninteresting. I love the topic of outer space, but I bailed out of this "experience" after 10 minutes.

A must have if you own a VR system. Launch it, select play all, put the controllers aside, and enjoy the ride. Sometimes I was walking around the room and looking at things up close, other times I would just lay down and look up. It's amazing. I've used it several times when I want to relax and clear my head. It makes you think a lot of crazy thoughts about time, life, distance, and our place in the cosmos.

If you have Elite, that game already gives a sense of scale, and better than this one. This game has no point of reference for those who get motion sick so this is also a rather motion-intense experience,.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift [/h1] I have never felt more insignificant than I do now after having finished the story mode of this experience. If you're interested in space, then you already know about the vastness of the universe. However, it's one thing to know this and quite another to get to experience it first-hand through the power of VR. You grow up and you're confined to your personal perception of the universe. That the earth is huge and the sun seems to be grandiose at the center of our universe. Yet it's but a speck in the galaxy and even smaller one in the universe. There's not much remarkable about our solar system or our place in the galaxy. The speed of light seems fast, but across these vast distances it seems to go at a snail's pace. It's well-illustrated here. The power of gravity and space and time is never more abundantly clear. The story experience is 32 minutes long. It it an eye-opening experience to say the least. The visuals are top-notch and realistic. The ambient sounds are also nicely done. I think the narrators could have been voiced better although they do present very concise, an informative narrative to the experience. Rate 9/10. I couldn't help but shed a tear at the end for my own insignificance and for that of all mankind and sit in awe of the vastness of the universe. No Gods or Kings, only man? No not even man. It may seem pricey, but it is not. You will want to share this with anybody who will listen/view, especially that religious nut relative you may have.

This program has amazing potential, but as of today, it is fairly disappointing. The programmed portion is informative, but I wanted to move around and zoom and rotate, but that is not possible. The final view of all of the known galaxies is amazing, but it is static: you cannot explore it, move through it, rotate it, zoom in and out. Frustrating. And the Explore portion is buggy and very limited. I can see this as an amazing program some day. Just not today. Frustrating.
