LUX SINE offers a unique and interesting blend of science and cultural education, particularly about dark matter and the Lakota people.
The visuals, while not perfect, are artistically beautiful and showcase impressive technology, especially in the 360 stereoscopic video.
As a free experience, it provides a substantial amount of content and is a great option for those interested in science and educational VR.

The navigation can be unconventional and frustrating, requiring players to physically turn to face their destination instead of using the controller for quick movement.
Some users experienced technical issues, such as freezing or low-quality visuals, which detracted from the overall experience.
The content can feel disjointed and may not meet the expectations of those specifically looking to learn about dark matter, as it often veers into unrelated topics.

The story is described as confusing and disjointed, featuring elements like a science experiment, tunnels, and an Indian dance festival, leaving players unsure of its overall coherence and purpose.
- “The story was weird; there was some science experiment, and then we were in tunnels and at some Indian dance festival. To be honest, I have no clue what all that was about.”
