Journey For Elysium

Interesting and cool ame to play in VR ...if you dont own a VR you can still enter to play it and experience a bit of it but it feels wrong as this game wasn't created to play without VR. You will experience your journey from Underworld to the beautiful Elysium. A game worth to play and have fun in VR headset !

I played this game in 2020, and it was one of the best VR experiences I'd had up to that point. The black-and-white aesthetic was used very creatively. The art style and level design were memorable. Some of the occasions were truly unique, and I had a few moments that I'll never forget. The puzzles were straightforward and unobtrusive, which is something I prefer in VR, especially when wearing one of those heavy headsets. I'd much rather take in the atmosphere and sense of discovery than deal with ambiguous mechanics or pointless obstacles that disrupt the flow. The only drawback for me was the ending. It seems they wanted to give the player a sort of final boss challenge. That basic and repetitive gameplay felt quite unnecessary and didn't match the quality and mood of the rest of the game. I recently played Ghost Town and loved it for similar reasons, particularly its flow. This one is more abstract, and I wish we had more experiences like this in VR.

Journey For Elysium is a VR adventure that transforms the ancient concept of the afterlife into a quiet, mysterious voyage filled with exploration, puzzles, and personal discovery. Developed by Mantis and published by Cronos Interactive, it places you in the role of a deceased traveler attempting to reach Elysium. Instead of relying heavily on combat or spectacle, the game builds its identity around atmosphere and physical interaction, creating an experience that feels closer to an interactive mythological journey than a traditional action game. One of its most distinctive mechanics is traveling through the Underworld by boat. Using VR motion controllers, you physically operate the oars and row across dark waters while exploring the River Styx and the strange environments surrounding it. This seemingly simple interaction becomes an important part of the experience because it reinforces the feeling that you are actually making the journey yourself. Rowing can become repetitive during extended sequences, but the mechanic fits the theme exceptionally well and provides a memorable alternative to ordinary VR movement. The visual presentation is arguably the game's greatest strength. J…

nice short trip for that price

One of the worst VR experiences I have had in a while. Near the beginning you are forced to use a boat that is almost impossible to control and constantly spinning slowly in a direction. Instant headache when it spun around automatically. Poorly done controls.

This game is short. I completed it in around 2 hours. But sometimes that is better for VR (as long as the price you get this for reflects that) I can't remember buying this TBH. I probably picked it up in a bundle or for cheap in a sale. If you get it on sale (it's very cheap usually) then this is a perfectly acceptable game. The graphics are B&W but good. The puzzles are easy enough not to be annoying, and the climbing sections are challenging but if you fail it was your fault. The mechanics are solid. I saw other reviews complaining about the boats. Nonsense! It is fine and surprisingly realistic actually. So if you know how to row IRL then you're good. So in conclusion, pick this up at the right price and enjoy your 2 hours.
