  • The app offers an extensive collection of over 1,000 high-resolution paintings, allowing users to experience art in a way that feels immersive and personal.

  • It's completely free, providing a unique opportunity to explore classic artworks without the crowds and costs associated with physical museums.
  • The user interface is basic and can be clunky, making navigation less enjoyable and sometimes frustrating.

  • music
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game is highlighted by an extensive selection of over 38 classical and baroque soundtracks, which users describe as high-fidelity and immersive, enhancing the experience of viewing art. While the music can be loud and the interface could use improvement, players appreciate the ability to customize settings and the overall quality of the classical music, making it a significant draw for the app. The combination of beautiful music and a vast array of paintings creates a rich cultural experience, although some users noted issues with volume control and interface navigation.

    • “The classical music sounds simply amazing with the index speakers - extremely clear and high-fidelity music. This app may be worth installing for the music alone - seriously.”
    • “Fantastic, great music choices and a very nice selection of paintings throughout different periods.”
    • “More than one thousand art masterpieces scanned at high resolution and exhibited in a virtual museum with audio comments and a classical music soundtrack.”
    • “The interface could be better, and the music volume doesn't change.”
    • “Annoying thing, its music volume and magnifier don't remember their state... I wish it would be fixed.”
    • “I think the in-game music could have been better, but you can turn it off.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect is enhanced by immersive voice narration that brings each painting to life, providing insights into the artist's technique, context, inspiration, and the cultural significance of the era. Users appreciate this narrative depth, which enriches their experience, particularly on platforms like the Oculus Quest 2.

    • “The immersive voice narration brings each painting to life, with a clear voice narrating its story—highlighting not just the artist’s technique, but the context, inspiration, and cultural heartbeat of the era.”

    • “To be able to see some of these artworks at the correct life size in VR has been a great source of joy when I couldn't travel.”
    • “This gallery has a hoard of high-quality images — 100% worth a visit if you want to see classic artwork at home.”

  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report positive optimization experiences, noting that the game runs smoothly on high-end graphics cards like the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080, even at high resolutions. The performance remains stable at 90 fps, indicating effective optimization, particularly with the Unity engine.

    • “Doing real-time 3D frames costs a lot of performance, so while I can run Kremer with index resolution at 300% at a solid 90 FPS (RTX 3090), I can achieve 500% resolution at a solid 90 FPS with Great Paintings VR.”
    • “It's running on the Unity engine, and I had no problems regarding optimization on my RTX 3080.”
    • “Doing real-time 3D frames costs a lot of performance, so while I can run Kremer at 300% resolution with a solid 90 FPS (RTX 3090), I can only achieve 500% resolution at a solid 90 FPS with Great Paintings VR.”
    • “It's running on the Unity engine, and I had no problems with optimization on my RTX 3080.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for lacking engaging mechanics, as players simply explore an art gallery without any interactive elements, resulting in a passive experience focused on viewing low-resolution images of famous artworks.
