Models are floating above the ground and animations are terrible.Voice and sound? - Its fine, nothing groundbreaking but gets the job done.Replayability? - After roughly 60min you are done with the story. Then there is the arcade mode where you run from point a to b and shoot stuff. Couldn't realy play because after the finish line the game won't go back to the menu.Music? - Fits in some parts in some not so much.So with all this critics, why a positive review? - Because the only thing that kept me forcing through this really rough mess was the story and the trippy locations. What will I see next and what the heck is going on? Beside the terrible mechanics the clunky controls, and laughable animations of the human models, RainSoft manged to keep me curious whats happening next. So thumbs up and can't wait for episode 2.Oh...I am sorry to say this, but only get this game on a sale. There is so much things that need to be fixed\/optimized and with 60min of story its hardly worth 10 bucks.. This was a game that really caught my attention and I had high hopes for. A nice break from a near endless amount of VR wave shooters, and poor excuses for games aka "experiences".Its an oddball world, with different elements, you dont know what to except from one scene to the next. This should have been a breathe of fresh air for me, and if not for the bugs, it would have made an appearance on my personal top 20 VR games.But bugs are lurking around every corner. If the game was in EA I could at least have gone in with my eyes open and just hold out hope they would get patched eventually. And its not like I am trying to summon devs back from the dead on an ancient game, this is a 2018 full release title and my thread on my bugs made nearly a week ago https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/776040\/discussions\/1\/1696044439574055049\/ has gone unanswered. Not even a vague "we will look into it".It pains me to rate it down, as this is the type of game that I would want to encourage. But when the bugs get so bad I cannot progress (character appears to have no controls (ie hands), can pass through solid objects, cannot interact with items or enemies in the world), I feel I should warn others. *My system is more than capable of running the game and my setup doesnt encounter these problems in other games.I made the mistake of giving it time as it was newly released when I purchased it 4 weeks ago, my refund request was denied. Despite game breaking bugs and no support, Steam CS doesnt believe this warrants a refund!*UPDATE* 23AprAfter being denied a refund, I tried fiddling with my setup and trying the game again. Honestly I spent more time trying to get this thing to work than I did play it at this point. And somehow things are getting worse :SLast week:https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=1368444537Today:https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=1368444746Area I cannot get passed isnt even bothering to load in properly at this point! Its coming up to 2 weeks since I posted my problems without any word at all from the devs. Seriously this isnt refund worthy?!*UPDATE* 25AprDevs reached out. Gave reason for no response as they were on a break. Said they would look into the issues raised.. Good game but still needs some work. The story was strange but good. Worth the price.. Almost to the end of the first episode and I am enjoying it over all. Its a game that can use alot of work on the interface side but I felt it was worth a little work getting use to it. You are thrown into scenes that each are very different. Spacey man real far out. I look forward to what is to come.. This was a game that really caught my attention and I had high hopes for.
