The Energy Lab

⠀

The Energy Lab is a free VR experience that is Escape the Room like. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, sounded ok, played ok. Very dark. Very short. Very simple. Try this if you like escape the room games.

"The Energy Lab" is a really pointless simple VR tech demo... looks like an escape room or something, but there's just one little puzzle to solve. What a waste of our time and a waste of $100 being dumped on Steam Direct. What do you do in the game? One. Thing. That's all folks. You can finish this quicker than the time it takes to install it. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protect…

The Energy Lab — увлекательный образовательный симулятор, сочетающий науку и развлечения. Игрок управляет лабораторией, проводит эксперименты и решает задачи по физике и химии. Графика простая, но чёткая, звуки добавляют атмосферы. Плюсы: интуитивное управление, доступные подсказки, интересные головоломки. Минусы: скудный сюжет, отсутствие глубокой многопользовательской игры. Подойдёт для любознательных и детей. Рекомендую для обучения и развлечения.

Way to short, looks visually great, not enough game though.

THe game runs out of energy 2 minutes in.
