Atlantis VR

This isn't a game, it's a short 5 minute VR tech demo. All you do is use your VR headset to view an underwater environment on a short tour. That's it. No gameplay, just look. If there's no gameplay, it's not a game. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". The software is very very short and can be finished in 5 minutes. Developers have at least some responsibility to provide enough content to make a game last more than 2 hours if they're serious about provi…

why the f I bought this game? I dont remember when or how I got it but today I gave it a chance and I almost had an accident with my stomach, and the game just last 5 minutes, I'm a professional VR player so I was very surprised that this game almost made me throw up, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, especially for new VR players, ATLANTIS VR sounds like a super fun game, but it's just a roller coaster ride that lasts about 5 minutes, You don't control the cart or whatever it's called, the cart controls itself and that's why you get dizzy.

Not much of a game, about like a single ride in Epic Roller coaster VR but in a sub. There is no free-roam through the underwater world, or no shooting gallery, or speed up to beat the clock side game I purchased it at a 60% discount for $.80, it is indefinably not worth more than that!

I can spend hours at a time racing in VR. I have spent 12 hours in a day (with breaks in between) playing Elite Dangerous in VR. These things don't cause me any issues. But this roller coaster, makes me ill. Why? Because the developer made the asinine decision to at one point turn you around backwards as you're riding along. "Isn't like, riding backwards in a car, where you have motion even, a great way to get sick?" Yes. It is. "Doesn't NOT having the motion in VR lead to a lot of people getting motion sickness when moving forward?" Yes. Many can and do. "So isn't it completely dumb to make someone passively ride backwards on a ride in VR?" Yep. Idiocy to the Nth degree. It's a short experience, as are most roller coasters in VR. But most of those are worth a couple of bucks. As I write this in December 2024, Atlantis VR is currenty on sale for $0.77 on Steam and it is, NOT worth that. I'm queasy after MAYBE 5 minutes in it. I've spent many hours this week racing around the Nordschliefe, LA Canyons, Pikes Peak and more in Assetto Corsa IN VR, no issues. And 5 minutes of this vomit comet have me ill. Avoid. It. Like. The. Plague. And everything I said is considering those tha…
