Genotype

Quite original & interesting game, but has major issue, when loading saves after couple of overwrites stops working, I've completed most of the game, then I've hit the brick wall of this issue, posted about it to discord of the devs like half a year ago, and nothing... last update of this game was in June 2024, and I would be really surprised if any update would come in the future, seems abandoned, Even tho it's a hidden gem, it's not worth it for the frustration.

I don't understand why this game only have "positive" average review. I had a blast from start to finish. Unique and imaginative. A true hidden gem. It should have more positive reviews. What a shame.

This was a fun game. Definitely worth my time and money. The weapons were unique as were many of the game mechanics.

Solid recommend. May the algorithm favor it. It's roughly similar to playing a simpler version of Half-Life or Dead Space in VR. You explore around this abandoned underground arctic base where a grand scientific experiment has gone horribly wrong, unlocking more of the base and killing alien monsters along the way. I enjoyed the exploration. The combat was good enough, but it's pretty simple. There's some amount of resource management (health, ammo, consumables), but scarcity isn't really an issue on the default difficulty. There's some player-progression in finding new weapons, unlocking weapon modifications, and upgrading your suit with a few new abilities. The graphics, voice-acting, and general level of polish are all unexpectedly good, given that its an inexpensive VR game. The story is adequate, and isn't really the focus. The only caveats I have are that 1) it's a little short (~10 hours for me, but it was about the right length for this game), and 2) saving is done at specific locations, of which there are plenty, but you have to remember to use them or else you'll lose a moderate chunk of your time when you die (there's autosave too, but it doesn't save very ofte…

Hoping the Dev sees this and fixes the game. Saving takes a couple minutes at the check-in screens: you can't do anything until that process completes. Needs a fix. Index controller setting was never properly implemented: need to use SteamVR shared binding to fix. Otherwise if's a very solid adventure game and would be an easy thumbs up if only the Devs cared to fix the above.

Absolutely a banger
