Above - VR

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Above - VR is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. This non-game is an art exhibition that's been dumped on Steam, presumably because the local art galleries took out a restraining order on the "artists" who had no other choice but to pay Valve $100 to dump this on Steam. 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". This is quite poor even for an art installation... it's an asset flip. The dev…

This is literally a "hello world" program being sold as a commercial product.

Good intentions, but the result is bad. It's an uncompleted abandoned game man...

This is Google Earth, zoomed out, and sad. The planet looks nice, and the song is fine... but, despite having an oxygen meter which counts down (indicating to me at least that I should be trying to accomplish something) there's literally nothing to do. You can float up, down, left, right, and get decent views of the planet... but that's it. I suppose them's the bricks if you're an astronaut and your space station explodes... but who wants to experience that? Definitely not worth the $4 being asked, so THUMBS: DOWN!
