Kessler Effect

TLDR; While the game has GREAT voice acting, and looks great, the nonsynched facial recognition they boost about, the rushed storyline, the somewhat weird writing, very short, a couple of nausea inducing parts (like really bad, and i have strong vrlegs) and pretty bad performance (50fps with a 1080) makes it hard to recommend. This is a Mostly a Cinematic experience, with 3 endings, all branches and endings can be seen in ~30min. (you can choose a new branch after finishing the game so you dont need to go through everything again). So basically, you can choose what happens at only a couple points. You also go on a space bikeride that looks really good, with a sense of size that felt really cool, center a docking bay port by going left right, and later you break some things. I dont know if you can "fail" when doing some of the other interacteable things, i know i didnt, but because of how the endings are told, i doubt it matters at the end. When you do things, the game doesnt make it clear if i did the thing right? but as it really doesnt matter, i just felt confused wondering if i screwed something up for my crew. Voice acting is excellent, everyone was great... except they…

Visually stunning. Very short, but the price is right.

Good looking characters and great voice acting; however, the story is very meh and the experience was a nausea ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I never get close to queasy while in VR, however some parts of this experience almost made me feel sick (e.g. the space bike part and the hyperspace entry part). It's not a bad experience, but I personally did not enjoy it. Good looking graphics and voice acting are important, but they aren't what makes the whole experience. I do hope that their next work will be better because I see real potential.

Pros: + character design/geometry/animation was good (mocap) + some of the visual aspects were immersive Cons: - weak plot and (in English) dialog (though good voice acting) - 1-2 "nod yes/no" choice(s) - limited use of 3D space or VR "presence" -- some bad forced shake/motion - only a few VR interactions, and that don't really do anything

While I didn't have any of the motion sickness that a lot of people talk about, I felt like this was a very lackluster game. There's very few interactive instances and the audio was all sorts of crazy (playing on the index). Sometimes it would be super loud but then voices would be muffled and quiet. It was an adventure trying to manage that while streaming. It...Feels like a short prologue. For 4 bucks it's not that bad of a deal price wise, but I just didn't really have any fun with this. I didn't care about any of the characters either since it's only about half an hour long. The game looked great to me. Also that robot that's KB12 or whatever? Absolute Claptrap of this game, wanted to throw something at it.

Got massively motion sick and could not finish the first chapter. (you fly around space and turning was a bit tight) From what I saw it was focused on the story and had tonnes of chapters, and some decision making to do. I did however get confused as to what I was doing at times as you are jut observing for the most part, and then suddenly you had to do things. Some where simple. Some had me confused.
