gameplay2 positive mentions
  • Beautiful art style and immersive VR experience with satisfying flying and grappling mechanics.
  • Relaxed and cozy gameplay, suitable for VR beginners and those seeking a low-nausea flying experience.
  • Engaging puzzles, entertaining NPCs, and an interesting story that enrich the atmosphere.
  • Controls are often reported as frustrating, unintuitive, or inconsistent, especially the flying mechanics and input mapping.
  • Performance issues occur on various systems, including stuttering and lack of graphical settings to mitigate problems.
  • Navigation can be confusing due to lack of a clear map or compass, making exploration frustrating at times.

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story in this game is engaging and supported by interesting quests and entertaining NPCs, featuring a simple yet deep narrative with charming characters. However, some players find the quest objectives could be clearer to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The grappling hook puzzles are pretty good, the quests and the story are interesting, and the atmosphere is great.”
    • “In summary, Compass is a fantastic package that has great visuals and a simple to understand story with many cute characters with a deep story at play.”
    • “The NPCs are entertaining, the quests are good, and it's just overall a great VR game.”
    • “My biggest complaint is that the quests could use a bit more information on what you need to do.”
    • “I went through quest 3 thumbstick calibration and adjusted deadzones four times, and I still have issues with it.”
    • “Unfortunately, stick drift on Quest 3 is quite noticeable in this game - the sensitivity of thumbstick turning seems so high that even if you don't experience stick drift in other games, you might experience it in this one.”

  • optimization

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    Optimization remains a significant issue, with persistent performance problems, stutters, and tracking glitches even on high-end PCs and VR setups. While switching to 144Hz mode improved some performance aspects, the lack of graphical settings limits users' ability to fix these issues, leading to discomfort and potential nausea during extended play.

    • “Update: switching to 144hz mode on the index solved some of the performance issues for reasons yet to be determined.”
    • “As the game has no graphical settings at all, if you suffer performance issues despite greatly exceeding the minimum requirements, as I do, there's nothing you can directly do to solve the problem.”
    • “Loving it so far, performance is great, controls are intuitive and the exploration is challenging without being frustrating.”
    • “I was invited to the developers' Discord to try to resolve the issue, but other than the 144Hz switch solving some of the stutters, other graphical and movement glitchiness, performance problems, and a general discomfort and poor ergonomics remained.”
    • “This might be a nice toy for a child playing VR with supervision, but not on PCVR, especially if you have the various performance, tracking, and control issues I experienced with an older but powerful PC and an Index.”
    • “I've had to quit for the moment as I can tell if I went on for much longer with those jolts, shudders, and twitches of performance, I'd end up feeling nauseous.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their appealing art style and immersive VR visuals, though some users experience performance issues and graphical glitches with no available settings to adjust. The cloud fog of war effect can be frustratingly strict, requiring close proximity to clear. Overall, the visuals are well-received but limited customization and occasional glitches affect the experience.

    • “In summary, Compass is a fantastic package that has great visuals and a simple-to-understand story with many cute characters and a deep story at play.”
    • “Great art style, great grappling movement, great flying style, great voice chittering, great immersion in VR.”
    • “The visuals are nice, but I do wish the cloud fog of war was a bit more forgiving as sometimes you have to get right up to it before it clears up.”
    • “I was invited to the developers' Discord to try to resolve the issue, but other than the 144Hz switch solving some of the stutters, other graphical and movement glitchiness, performance problems, and a general discomfort and poor ergonomics remained.”
    • “As the game has no graphical settings at all, if you suffer performance issues despite greatly exceeding the minimum requirements, as I do, there's nothing you can directly do to solve the problem.”
    • “No graphics settings to help alleviate that either.”

    The gameplay offers simple and accessible controls that remain immersive and varied, appealing more to experienced VR players despite a somewhat childlike visual style. Overall, it balances ease of use with engaging mechanics.

    • “The gameplay is pretty simple, but still enjoyable and varied.”
    • “One of the simplest control mechanics, yet still immersive enough.”
    • “The stylization seems a bit too infantile at times, as if the game was made for 5-year-old kids, while the gameplay feels better suited for more seasoned VR players.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the atmosphere engaging and immersive, enhanced by well-designed grappling hook puzzles and an interesting story and quests. Overall, the game creates a compelling and enjoyable environment.
