  • The game features a visually appealing presentation and enjoyable gameplay, especially in VR.
  • It offers intuitive controls that work well with various input methods, including HOTAS and motion controllers.
  • The arcade-style action is fun and accessible, making it easy for players to jump right into the experience.
  • The game has a limited amount of content, with only 12 missions that can be completed in under 2 hours.
  • There are significant issues with controls and navigation, making it difficult for players to set up their preferred configurations.
  • The sound design and overall depth of gameplay are lacking, leading to a repetitive experience without much challenge.
  • story
    100 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for being linear and simplistic, with only 12 missions that primarily revolve around combat objectives like "destroy all enemies" or "protect this target." Players note that the narrative lacks depth and ends abruptly just as it begins to become interesting, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction. Overall, while the missions are clear and concise, the limited variety and lack of exploration or strategic elements contribute to a dull storytelling experience.

    • “The story I've seen so far is linear, but you can go back and redo the missions as you like and earn more money to upgrade your ships.”
    • “Just started but the missions are fast-paced and really exciting, and I feel I have already had my money's worth with more high-octane dogfights pending.”
    • “There is a storyline that gives some context for each mission, and there are a few weapon upgrades that you can earn, but it’s essentially an arcade shooter.”
    • “As you can imagine, being limited to only 12 missions, the game's story is relatively dull and ends just when it's getting interesting.”
    • “The game itself is pretty simple and missions are usually 'destroy everyone', after scanning a container, or escorting a ship or reaching a destination.”
    • “This game is basically a space shooter arcade with a very short storyline.”
  • graphics
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with many reviewers noting their decent quality and impressive visuals, especially in VR. Players appreciate the stunning effects and the immersive sci-fi atmosphere, although some mention that the graphics are not groundbreaking but still satisfactory for the genre. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the gameplay experience, making it a worthwhile option for fans of arcade-style shooters.

    • “In terms of graphics, End Space looks decent, and I imagine it would look amazing under a VR headset.”
    • “A pretty good game, the graphics, scenery, and voice acting are very good, giving you a true sense of sci-fi straight away.”
    • “The graphics are excellent for the most part.”
    • “Apart from the horrendous, jumpy as hell, control of the ship via the Vive controllers (and I've tried every possible control method, including flight by gaze/left/right joystick/thumbpad), the graphics and voice acting are passable for this price range, but the gameplay... boy it gets repetitive quick.”
    • “Combat and graphics were merely okay.”
    • “The game looks pretty decent graphically.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its arcade-like simplicity and smooth mechanics, but it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of depth, with only twelve short missions that can be completed in under two and a half hours. While the unique "head steering" mechanic may become intuitive, many players find the controls, particularly with the Vive controllers, to be frustrating. Overall, the experience is visually appealing but ultimately feels limited for the price.

    • “Very arcade-like, simple, fun and smooth with great simple mechanics and really nice graphics.”
    • “The unique 'head steering' mechanic may seem unusual and uncomfortable to some, but after a few levels, you may find it to be more efficient and intuitive than any console controller and even more so than the keyboard.”
    • “Unfortunately, it is still quite short at this point in time, so there is not much gameplay for the price.”
    • “The twelve missions are very easy to complete in under two and a half hours of gameplay.”
    • “Apart from the horrendous, jumpy control of the ship via the Vive controllers (and I've tried every possible control method, including flight by gaze, left/right joystick, and thumbpad), the graphics and voice acting are passable for this price range, but the gameplay gets repetitive quickly.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally well-received, with a performance rating of 7/10, particularly for its VR capabilities. Players report smooth gameplay on high graphics settings, especially on capable hardware like the i7-6700k and 980 ti. Overall, the performance meets expectations for a title designed primarily for VR.

    • “Performance was also very good, but this shouldn't come as a surprise for a title that was originally slated exclusively for VR.”
    • “Got this title for free and thought I better pop a quick review out for the sake of actual VR performance based on playing the tutorial and first 2 missions using the HTC Vive.”
    • “Game runs smoothly on my rig (i7-6700k and 980 ti) with max graphics settings.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is characterized as a generic futuristic soundtrack that lacks distinctiveness, and players feel that the sound effects for starship propulsion and weapons could be more impactful.

    • “The game features a very generic futuristic soundtrack and the starship propulsion and weapon systems could use a bit more 'oof', if you catch my drift.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is initially amusing, particularly during unique moments like being slingshot, but it tends to lose its charm with repetition, leading to a less enjoyable experience when players have to chase down the same scenarios multiple times.

    • “It was funny the first time it happened, but not so funny having to chase it down after being slingshot.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is generally considered limited, with many users noting that there are few incentives to revisit the experience after the initial playthrough.

    • “Replay value is limited as well.”
