The graphics in the reviewed content are highly praised for their innovative and immersive qualities, particularly in VR experiences like "quicksand" and "notget," which offer stunning visuals that leave viewers in awe. Users appreciate the unique alien perspectives and the overall comfort provided by the visuals, making them feel that the graphical experience alone is worth the price.
“I just watched the last few videos in VR and the score for Atom Dance, but I loved the visuals and the alien perspective of Quicksand that Björk did awesomely in the VR. It was very comforting and had me in awe, thinking I wish I could see some more.”
“That said, the innovative 3D graphical experience in 'Notget' is simply outstanding, and arguably worth ten bucks just on its own!”
