Redswood VR

while the concept and gameplay were good, the execution was poor. For what it is though, I won't entirely knock it because it gave a decent attempt by what's seemingly one dev. I just couldn't reccomend it, especially since it appears to have been abandoned in early access.

My wife played the game and got sick so maybe the running in place is not for everyone. She could not figure out the teleporting. She was using the slingshot and figured out the climbing aspect so for noobs it should be an easy game to figure out. The graphics are not great but I didn't mind the artistic value of them for the riding hood theme. For the price the game is worth trying for something different and to show off to new users as long as you know they are not VR sickness prone or if you know they have their VR legs. The developer should build on this idea and either add some decent content to this game or make a new one that makes good use of the slingshot, climbing, and running with more realistic graphics. As I was watching my wife play I was thinking rock climbing in scenic areas, lara croft, indiana jones, other exploration type games,etc. It isn't a AAA title but not as bad as some made it out to be. I am not so critical as others. Plus I know this game is old now for VR so I am rating it as such taking that into account. It just took me this long to play it. Video below in faster speed to show how my wife did. Yes I wrote Redswood wrong in the video. Oh well. ;-) ht…

In the current state I cann't recommend this game as there are too many glitches and climbing experience is awful. Object collisions ruin this game for me. Although I like the Idea of the game these things need to be fixed.

On the one hand, there's more bugs, tracking problems and movement issues then I can count, I finished it in less then an hour, and I didn't like the ending (blame the tale, not the game developer)... On the other hand it's just a great VR experience, full of smart locomotion ideas, and (except for the single ending) I just felt happy to have played this. Example of simple fun moments : - When I jumped up to catch an apple on a branch (works). - Walking in the air thanks to the umbrella (maybe a bug, maybe a game mechanic). - When I grabbed a table (using the hill climbing mechanics), and was able to pull myself under it that way (half a bug, half a unique feature specific to this game, that could become a great game mechanic for hiding or searching under a table without having to physically crouch down yourself). - When I fought a wolf that was walking around half burried in the floor of the house (totally a bug, but fun anyway). That's on top of the main fun, which consists in trying out all the locomotion options. This is the kind of game where the journey is more important then the destination. The verdict : Even as a clumsy and short enough early access game, even the bug…

Excellent Short Game!! Big shout out to the developer(s) of Redswood VR for being the first to expose me to walking by jogging my arms and then BY GRAPPLING HOOK!!! THAT WAS SO BADA$$ and surprising!!! This short-story game is a good one for those in your life who don't want something too scary, but still has suspense and exploring and collecting things. Again it's simple, but this is a good one to introduce to your non-traditional gamers (like myself) bc it's not too difficult and you can kill the enemies fairly easily. You'll likely run into a couple small glitches like there were a few times I couldn't grab the slingshot rock and I had to keep teleporting away from the rat-things and keep trying my slingshot until the rock got into the right spot and some crazy things with the physics in the house - like i dropped a book on the floor and when I tried to pick it up, I picked up the whole house over and over. But other than that, I truly loved the experience it gave me and I'm having everyone in my family and my friends try it. Well done, Dev! :D

BUY THIS! For the price it's well worth it! Dev, PLEASE add grappling with both controllers.
