Hippocampus

First of all: why does this game launch SteamVR when you start it? But fine, let's ignore that and give it a chance. The game opens with a menu that's already terrible, but somehow it only gets worse. Want to change the settings? "Fatal error". Off to a fantastic start. Then it gets even better. The main menu lets me press "Continue" (instead of having "New Game" as the only option), even though I'd never played before. Curious, I clicked it. The game greeted me with "Here we go again" and dropped me into an empty room with absolutely no indication of what I was supposed to do. Amazing. Having the time of my life. So I went back, started a new game, and played through the tutorial. Movement with the orbs feels awful. Then comes the combat tutorial, where you learn that swinging your sword costs you health. Great design. Sounds like fun. After that, the game drops you into the exact same room from the fake "Continue" option. At least now you know what you're supposed to do, so you keep pushing through level after level... only to discover that it never gets any better. This was a miserable experience from start to finish. I couldn't take it anymore after about 20 minutes. Painf…

The camera rotates slightly, on an axis you don't have immediate control over, in the middle of jump puzzles and not in a cool trippy way like they think they are doing. Don't waste your time plenty of other free things are out there.

this was just to hard for me.

Игра Hippocampus — это увлекательная головоломка, где вы управляете подводной лодкой в сюрреалистичном океане. Исследуйте красочные локации, решайте загадки и восстанавливайте память, открывая тайны прошлого. Прекрасная графика и атмосферная музыка создают неповторимое погружение в загадочный мир.

Found it hard to use this control scheme. Couldn't find a camera sensitivity I was happy with, regular use of the D-pad when I haven't touched a face button yet is really annoying too.
