I really enjoyed this game, it was one of the first games I played on my oculus rift and it brought so much wonder. The vibes are really airy and smooth, and it truly feels like a flying sailboat ride. I absolutely reccomend giving this beautiful little journey a try!

A short relaxing VR adventure Note: To get the sea monster off your ship, use the fishing rod and grab the fish when you catch one. Feed the fish to the sea monster and you should be able to continue. This is a short VR game where you sail a wooden ship above the clouds and explore a world in search of a golden key. I recommend it to anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful interactive visual experience at their own pace. Give this one a try 😊.

Игра Horizon Beyond оказалась приятным сюрпризом в жанре стратегии в реальном времени. Сеттинг, сочетающий в себе научную фантастику и элементы исследования, захватывает с первых минут. Построение базы, управление ресурсами и развитие технологий - всё это реализовано достаточно интересно и не перегружает игрока излишней сложностью. Особенно порадовала система юнитов и их прокачки. Разнообразие тактических возможностей позволяет пробовать разные стратегии и адаптироваться к стилю игры противника. Графика, хоть и не самая передовая, но стилизована хорошо и создаёт нужное настроение. Однако, хотелось бы больше разнообразия в миссиях кампании. Некоторые задачи кажутся однотипными и немного затянутыми. Также, иногда встречаются небольшие проблемы с балансом юнитов. В целом, Horizon Beyond - это достойная RTS, которая, несмотря на мелкие недостатки, способна увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую любителям жанра и тем, кто ищет что-то новое и атмосферное.

Played this on my meta quest 3s and it worked Alright! A couple issues with the controllers not getting recognized when they briefly disconnected but it might be a setting i need to adjust on my headset itself as i've noticed the issue on other games, A really fun experience! The fishing was a little janky as the fish physics bugged but it was a fun addition, I love the feel as if the wind is pushing against the ship and having to fight it! A lot of fun! The music was very atmospheric but sort've generic. I've just played a little bit and I know I'm going to play more!

On Arch Linux + Valve Index + Nvidia 2080 + SteamVR 2.8.6... this works! It is temperamental loading up, and it (needlessly imo) requires room-scale for some of the tactile puzzles. It is close to being a standing-only game but there are parts where you have to walk to the bows to grab objects and the virtual area is deceptively large. The room I do VR in is pokey at about 4mx4m and that wasn't large enough but I enjoyed the one or two early puzzles I could complete. One of the few good VR games for kids.
