Escape Black Orion VR

The first ten or so times I tried to play this game I fell through the floor and couldn't get out. Had trouble with the menu and couldn't restart so didn't bother with it for a long while. Started up recently and it went, good VR space puzzle game but the earlier bugs left a bad taste in my mouth so it's a neutral review but on the not side. But it is reasonably priced and I've played a lot worse for way more money, see others in the accompanying video review. Video Review: https://youtu.be/aV-BmSMqU2g?t=49

I'm afraid I cannot reccommend this as there is very little to it, hand position and object grabbing are all wrong, at least with the vive wands. Also, performance problems. My 1070 was the bottleneck and had immense trouble running it, yielding frame times in excess of 20ms. The game itself is okay for such a low price, but nothing great either.

Looks like it could be interesting, but feels like a point and click that got converted to VR. I gave it 3 chances. But, frustrating controls, getting put in the wrong place at the start, and having to endure the starting scene each time I all of a sudden died is just too much. Also seems to take zero advantage of being in VR.

I ultimately liked this, but there were a few challenges along the way. 1)Index controllers don't work - leading to me reverting to vive wands. 2) my WMR headset (G2) kept blacking out in the picture every time I entered a wrong code - there's obviously some kind of visual effect that is coded wrongly. 3) Performance was terrible on my 3090 10900k 64gb system. I had to reduce the SS to 60% (which is around 3000 squared pixels). But given that this is the first game that my 3090 has struggled with, there is some problem in there somewhere.

Played on Oculus Rift w/ Touch, with only episode 1 available. I don't generally play escape rooms and I've having a tough time reviewing this as I don't have much to compare with. In the end, I think I give it a weak yes but only when on steep sale. Puzzles are decent and the robot companion is kindof cute though doesn't have much to tell story wise in episode 1. And so glad for comparatively cheery environment compared to the glut of horror torture/murder dungeons. Controls are a bit awkward, sometimes it would pick the item right up, others times nothing would happen or it would grab one of the others no where near my hand. And pulling my physical index finger IN to push the trigger button to extend the virtual index finger to point OUT for a couple of the interactions is literally backwards. Screenshots and video are slightly misleading, you're rooted to a single spot for the whole "episode one" The game has the "room-scale" tag but it's not. There is an episode 1 text in the title screenshot (but not the game title) and at the very end of the description. But that really isn't prominent enough nor does it clearly indicate there is on the single room (with 6 or so puz…

Pretty good escape room. <20 min on the timer in game.
