Time Machine VR

Needs to support quest

An excellent work from the early days of VR. The downside is, it requires a Gamepad controller, and the price is high for today's expectations.

It's fun if you've murdered a few tall boyz. You need a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but after a few cold ones they start to feel like your hands. Big fish mess with my mind, mang. I like digging deep and looking up at giant effers. There are a few moments that make my uterus vibrate, and for that I am thankful to have purchased this gem.

prompts to create a firewall rule every time it starts, which forces me to take of my VR headset to DECLINE because no thanks. Extremely bad controls partially worked with normal VR controllers enough to get started until realizing the game doesnt fully support them. Either make the controls work or dont... And when I finally hooked up an xbox controller, the controls stop working half the time for no reason. Still feels like early access to me, definitely not worth the $29.99 I spent on it.

I read a lot of whines about this game and so didn't buy it until there was a fairly low sale price. The Quest 2 support is non-existent; you have to use Emulate Gamepad to play at all. So that's a strike against it. OTOH, I found I liked it much better than the reviews led me to expect. I'm a sucker for underwater exploration, and the water model is not bad (the surface high above is quite realistic, "blue gloom" lighting is nice, etc). The world could be a little more richly dressed (more marine plants for example) but rock formations are quite nice and the playing areas, if a little small, are pleasingly complex. It's an environment that's fun to visit and just loaf around in. The minisub "pod" handles OK, with semi-realistic inertia, and the controls become familiar pretty quickly. OTOH the cutscenes between playing areas are needlessly long and repetitive. They become tedious quickly, as does the avuncular voiceover of AI "Rob". However the screen/voice acting by "the Doctor" at home base is a treat, I like the actress and she's refreshingly realistic, not a fashion model. The game seems kid-oriented; gameplay is somewhat repetitive and edutainment flavoured. I…

I like this, but I refunded it because £25 is too much to spend on a piece of software with less than 2 hours run-time.
