Survived (2019)

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] [i]Please note: You have to do a Windows 7 compatibility fix to get this game to work properly on the Oculus Rift. Also, I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.[/i] You can view my full gameplay here (start to finish): https://youtu.be/-RdTQOa2BrE So I cannot recommend this game. It's not the worst VR game I have ever played and there's a nice atmosphere for sure. However, the gameplay is bad and the sound mix make this game almost unplayable. Zombies make this very loud, shrieking noise that gets blasted into your earpiece. It is very uncomfortable and there doesn't seem to be a way to get around it other than manually moving the sound all the way down to zero. The zombie 3D models & animations are poor. The gun physics is also bad. However, the locations actually look pretty good. You teleport around a nodal squared off area where you have to complete a task before you can teleport to the next area. There is no smooth or snap turning, but you can move within your play space. So you'll be hammering boards to fortify the location or administering yourself first-aid. However, it's all …

I could not endure Survived for more than 5 minutes: it's a loud ugly mess. Visuals somehow are blurry on any supersampling settings and enemies look like they were made for PlayStation 1. Sound is not spatial: zombie that is shambling 10 meters away shrieks like it is standing right next to your ear. Enemies have no reaction to bullets other than few unconvincing red sprites. I usually put more time and effort into playing the games that I've got via Steam Curators Connect, but Survived is just unbearable.
