Meditation VR

Birds high up in the sky, waves rolling in on the shore, the wind blowing through palm trees and plants that grow on your private secluded island all contribute both visually and in sound to a surreal experience that practically makes you feel the ocean breeze.

The game features beautiful graphics and a highly realistic relaxing environment, making it a great escape for stress relief.
It's free to play, providing a valuable experience without any cost, which is a significant advantage over many paid meditation apps.
The guided meditation is soothing, and players appreciate the ability to adjust audio settings, enhancing the overall relaxation experience.

The game suffers from performance issues, including stuttering and crashes on various systems, which can detract from the relaxing experience.
There is only one location available, limiting the variety and exploration options for players, and some users have reported unresponsive menus.
Despite its visual appeal, the game requires a significant amount of storage space for minimal content, leading some to question its value.

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their realism and beauty, creating a relaxing environment that enhances the overall experience. While many users commend the visuals as excellent, some note that there is room for improvement in sharpness and performance, particularly given the static nature of the gameplay. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's calming atmosphere, though optimization could be better for a smoother experience.
- “The game has the best graphics and a very realistic, relaxing environment, with pleasant sound.”
- “I've tried a fair few meditation apps since I had my original Rift CV1, both paid and free/demo, and this relatively short (~15 minute) experience is outstanding in terms of visuals.”
- “Truly relaxing, and beautiful graphics.”
- “Graphics could be a lot sharper, like the default room on SteamVR.”
- “The graphics for the static scene are ugly.”
- “I started to mess with the settings; you can easily drop your performance without much gain as far as graphics are concerned.”

The game's music is generally well-received, with players appreciating its relaxing quality, especially during serene moments like watching ocean waves. Users have the option to adjust music, voice, and sound effects separately, allowing for a customizable audio experience. However, there are some requests for more flexibility, such as the ability to incorporate personal music or to turn off the guided voice entirely.
- “The game features a few key options, from turning on/off the guide to adjusting the volume of the music, effects, and dialogue separately.”
- “The guided meditation at the beginning is pleasant, but it would be nice to have options to turn off voice and music, leaving only the nature sounds. I just noticed that the audio options have separate volume controls for voice, music, and sound effects.”
- “I don't know if I can mess with personal music or sound linked to outside sources yet; there's no indication if you could put it in a folder and just use it or have to use a linked account.”
- “The guided meditation at the beginning is pleasant, but it would be nice to have options to turn off voice and music, leaving only the nature sounds.”
- “The music by itself is very relaxing while watching the ocean waves and animals.”

The game's optimization is currently poor, requiring high-end hardware like a 2080 to run even basic scenes smoothly. Post-processing and effects significantly affect performance, while other settings have minimal impact on both performance and visual quality. Adjusting settings can lead to performance drops without noticeable graphical improvements.
- “SS was at the default 150% and also has a large impact on performance (requires game restart).”
- “I started to mess with the settings; you can easily drop your performance without much gain as far as graphics are concerned.”
- “Post processing and effects both have a large impact on performance; other settings have less effect but also don't change the image quality as much either.”
- “Screen space (SS) was at the default 150% and also has a large impact on performance (requires game restart).”
- “Extremely poorly optimized at this early stage of development, and therefore needs a 2080 just to sit and look at the ocean and a few trees.”
