  • The technology is impressive and offers a unique immersive experience that feels like being part of the action.
  • The fight choreography and animations are well done, showcasing the potential of volumetric movies.
  • It's a great demonstration of what VR can achieve, and many users are excited to see more content like this in the future.
  • The movie is very short (around 8 minutes), which many feel does not justify the cost or the large file size (30GB).
  • Frequent buffering issues make it difficult to enjoy the experience, even on high-end hardware.
  • The storytelling is considered weak and uninspired, with abrupt camera transitions that can cause confusion and discomfort.
  • story
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing it as uninspired, cliched, and lacking depth, often describing it as more of a showcase for technology than a compelling narrative. While some appreciated the animation quality and found enjoyment in the short, action-packed segments, others felt it was a wasted opportunity for storytelling in a new medium. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the format shows potential, the execution of the story leaves much to be desired.

    • “First of all, the story was good as a short movie; the surprising ending makes you think about the future human life forms and possibilities.”
    • “It is a fun story to watch, and I really enjoyed it.”
    • “Thoroughly enjoyed every second of the video and can't wait for more of this story or other projects that show off this tech!”
    • “Uninspired storytelling, and a wasted opportunity to showcase something that couldn't be accomplished in real time on potent gaming hardware in 2022.”
    • “It's a really boring, cliched story; well enough animated, I guess, but just so pointless.”
    • “A very cool medium for new stories to be told with lots of potential; however, this first film was pretty weak story-wise.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the short film are described as a mixed bag, with some visuals appearing low resolution and outdated, yet the fight choreography and animations are praised for their quality. While the visuals are surprisingly sharp for a 3D movie, there are minor bugs and artifacts present. Overall, the experience can vary significantly depending on the viewer's hardware, with high-end graphics cards enhancing the visual quality.

    • “The (motion captured) movement is great, the visuals are surprisingly sharp for a 3D movie, and the choreography in the fight scenes is cool.”
    • “I can imagine that some people would just think this is a demo of a high-quality game with photorealistic graphics, and to be honest, the difference is not 100% clear to me either.”
    • “So, if you have a high-end graphics card or a really good buffer for some reason, then I recommend getting and watching this.”
    • “Short film itself is a mixed bag: visuals look a bit low res and not up to date, but fight choreography and animations are amazing.”
    • “I can imagine that some people would just think this a demo of a high-quality game with photorealistic graphics, and to be honest, the difference is not 100% clear to me either.”
    • “A few minor bugs/artifacts in the visuals are also existing.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game appears inconsistent, with some users experiencing buffering issues even on high-end VR setups, while others report smooth performance, particularly with specific hardware like the HP Reverb G2. To mitigate micro-stuttering, it is recommended to install the game on a fast NVMe SSD.

    • “Important: To avoid micro-stuttering, you need to install the game on a fast NVMe SSD.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is heavily impacted by performance issues, particularly when running the game on mechanical drives, which can lead to constant buffering. Despite being a short experience, the game's large file size raises questions about its content density compared to longer titles like Half-Life: Alyx.

    • “Pro tip: don't try to run this off of a mechanical drive, it'll buffer constantly!”
    • “It's just strange that this few minutes 'movie' is 30 GB, especially when you consider that Half-Life: Alyx is a AAA title with many hours of gameplay.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its nearly flawless animations during fight scenes and poignant dialogues, effectively drawing players into the story of a robot family within a short timeframe. However, the attempt to evoke sadness by the end feels somewhat formulaic, as it mirrors a common trend in VR short stories.

    • “The animations during fight scenes or emotional dialogues are almost flawless.”
    • “It attempts to get us emotionally involved with a robot family (with a robot kid) in about 5 minutes, and as is often the case with these kinds of VR short stories, we're supposed to feel sad by the end of it.”
