About
Aeronaut is a single player action game. It was developed by Viacom and was released on September 12, 2019. It received very positive reviews from players.
"Aeronaut" is one of the first music experiences to feature a hologram created with Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture. This technology was used to capture Billy Corgan's performance in volumetric video. In this experience, Viacom and Isobar explored how to better connect fans to artists by allowing them to interact with and experience music in an entirely new way.
- The visuals are impressive and colorful, creating an engaging atmosphere for the music video.
- The production quality is high, with excellent volumetric camera work and good sound.
- The experience offers some interactivity, allowing users to engage with the environment and the performance.
- Aeronaut lacks meaningful gameplay and game loops, making it more of a software application than a game.
- It is misleadingly categorized in the 'Games' section of Steam, which can confuse users expecting a traditional gaming experience.
- The interaction is minimal, with limited locomotion and gameplay elements, which may not satisfy those looking for a more immersive gaming experience.

The music aspect of "Aeronaut" is centered around a free VR music video featuring a song by Billy Corgan, the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins. While opinions on the song vary, many users appreciate the impressive visuals and the unique interactive experience, though some note it feels more like a music application than a traditional game. Overall, it offers a creative way to enjoy music, particularly for fans of Corgan's work, despite its abstract nature and minimal interaction.
“Super dope VR music video.”
“You get a song for free from the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins, which is great; normally songs, even singles, are about $2, and maybe $5 for a music video.”
“A music video that you can walk around in and experience in multiple different ways.”
“Instead of being a game, Aeronaut is a software application that shows a music video from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins).”
“Honestly, this is completely subjective...either you like this music and in this format or you don't.”
“Decent interactive VR music video, not really any better than lots of other abstract music videos.”
