The graphics of the game are generally praised for being visually appealing and immersive, with some reviewers noting breathtaking visuals and solid design. However, there are criticisms regarding the lack of detail in certain scenes, minor graphical issues that disrupt immersion, and a comparison to other PC VR titles that offer superior graphics. Overall, while the graphics are considered good, they may not meet the expectations set by other games in the genre.
- “The sound design and visuals are really breathtaking and I really think whoever the developers were on this game really knew what they were doing.”
- “Fun game; nice graphics; good story with interesting puzzles... puzzles flow well throughout the game and are not difficult to solve.”
- “You have a jet pack to get around (thus the VR was too disorienting with the movement for me) very good graphics and the story is okay.”
- “Considering there are PC VR games that have better graphics, story, and gameplay, I would pass on this one.”
- “I'll probably finish the game, but I wouldn't buy it again. For mobile VR, I get the 'easy on GPU' graphics, but for PC, the scenes feel empty, lacking detail, and the puzzles are way too easy. If I could move faster, I would definitely have finished the game already.”
- “There are a few minor graphics issues that sometimes break the immersion a bit (e.g., the moon in the sky at the opening level is not round, the skybox shows the edge of the level, and there is clipping at certain floor parts near statues during the boat ride level). But on the whole, comparing this title to the other VR titles that I own, this is a solid story experience.”
