  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its lovely composition and emotional impact, enhancing the experience of solitude in space. While some users noted the lack of interaction and the use of potentially stolen assets, the soundtrack's ability to evoke feelings of relaxation and poignancy as the game progresses received positive feedback.

  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of Above - vr is criticized as a "greedy, cash grab" with a price point of around $4 USD, which many users feel is unjustified due to the product's defects and the perceived unethical practices of the developer.

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is criticized for its lack of realism, with users noting that the clouds appear to be positioned in space rather than within the game's intended atmospheric setting. This disconnect detracts from the overall immersive experience.

  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
