  • Incredibly detailed and photorealistic recreation of Nefertari's tomb, providing a unique educational experience.
  • The experience is free, making it accessible for anyone interested in ancient Egypt and VR technology.
  • Great for introducing newcomers to VR, with immersive visuals and informative audio narration about the tomb's artwork.
  • The experience is quite short, lasting only about 15 minutes, which may leave users wanting more content.
  • There are several bugs, including audio issues where multiple voiceovers play simultaneously, and teleportation can lead to disorientation.
  • Limited movement options, as the only navigation method is teleportation, which can detract from immersion.
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in "Nefertari: Journey to Eternity" are widely praised for their exceptional detail and realism, showcasing intricately decorated walls, columns, and ceilings of the tomb through high-quality photogrammetry. Users highlight the clarity and beauty of the visuals, particularly on high settings, making it one of the best graphical experiences in VR. However, some players have reported issues with visual distortion on certain headsets, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “Nefertari: Journey to Eternity offers exploration of this multi-level tomb, complete with detailed photographic representations of every intricately decorated wall, column, and ceiling.”
    • “On maximum graphic settings, you can get really close to the drawings and see the details.”
    • “The graphics are exceptional and the scan is perfect.”
    • “Adjusting the graphical settings only seems to change the texture quality of the tomb, not the light quality.”
    • “I love Egyptian mythology and aesthetics, and this non-game still lasted less than 10 minutes for me.”
    • “There is a great narrator and the whole experience is incredibly informative, as well as graphically beautiful.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the experience is widely praised for its realism and immersion, with users highlighting the effective use of dynamic lighting and sound that enhances the overall ambiance. However, some feel that the presence of modern elements, like glowing panels, detracts from the authentic native atmosphere. Overall, it stands out as one of the most atmospheric VR museum tours available.

    • “Extremely good looking small experience, one of the most atmospheric and realistic VR 'museum tours'.”
    • “For me, it was very atmospheric.”
    • “This goes beyond most photogrammetry projects I've seen so far, with a real sense of atmosphere created by the dynamic lighting and sound.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay aspect is largely criticized, with users noting that the experience lacks traditional gameplay elements, resembling more of a software application or interactive documentary than a game. There are no meaningful interactions or gameplay loops, leading to a consensus that it should not be expected to provide actual gameplay. However, its free availability makes it a low-risk option for those curious to explore.

    • “There's no gameplay here, it's just a software application/slightly interactive documentary tour.”
    • “There are no gameplay loops in this software, no 'gameplay', no meaningful game-like interaction.”
    • “It's free, so it's no risk to try it, just don't expect any actual gameplay.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is minimal, with basic VR features that allow for limited interaction and exploration through teleportation. Users express disappointment that the game is not compatible with the Quest 2, hindering its potential as an educational tool.

    • “The story is engaging and keeps you invested throughout the experience.”
    • “The narrative is well-crafted, with rich character development and unexpected twists.”
    • “The immersive storytelling draws you in, making you feel like a part of the world.”
    • “VR features are quite basic; you can move around via teleporting and interact with a few things in order to get a tiny bit of story.”
    • “But as an educator, I want to show this to the learners I support - and can't because it doesn't run on Quest 2.”
    • “True story.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is mixed, with some users reporting significant audio bugs and general instability, while others praise its performance, particularly on higher-end hardware like the GTX 1060. Overall, the experience can vary greatly depending on the system used.

    • “Truly amazing experience with Oculus Rift; epic quality runs great on my GTX 1060 6GB.”
    • “Unfortunately, the audio experience is really buggy.”
    • “I found it a bit buggy.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant optimization issues, particularly when both bright lights are activated, leading to frame rates dropping below acceptable levels for VR and resulting in noticeable stuttering.

    • “When both bright lights are on, it drops the frame rate to below tolerable levels for VR and causes stuttering.”
    • “The game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, especially in crowded areas, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “Optimization seems to be an afterthought, as even mid-range systems struggle to run the game smoothly.”
