  • Rexodus offers a visually appealing and immersive VR experience with high-quality graphics and voice acting, making it a captivating introduction to the comic book world.
  • The narrative approach allows players to feel part of the story, with engaging characters and a unique atmosphere that piques interest in the source material.
  • As a free experience, it provides a short but enjoyable glimpse into the Rexodus universe, making it worth trying for fans of VR storytelling.
  • The experience is extremely short, lasting only about 5-10 minutes, which may leave players feeling unsatisfied and wanting more content.
  • There is a lack of interactivity, as players are mostly passive observers with no control over the gameplay, which can be disappointing for those expecting a game-like experience.
  • Technical issues such as crashes, poor head tracking, and low resolution can detract from the overall enjoyment, making it feel more like a tech demo than a polished game.
  • story
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Rexodus: a VR story experience" is described as a short but emotionally engaging introduction to a world where reality and fantasy intertwine, effectively setting up its characters and premise. While many users appreciate the immersive visuals and voice acting, they express a strong desire for a longer, more interactive narrative, as the current experience feels too brief and non-interactive. Overall, it serves as a promising glimpse into the potential of VR storytelling, leaving players eager for more content.

    • “Rexodus: a VR story experience is a free VR experience that is short, but it does a very good job of introducing the premise of the comic book and giving you a look at the characters and their central story.”
    • “It's a short and fun story that is worth the download. Great graphics and voice acting, and an introduction to what storytelling will hopefully be like before we know it.”
    • “I would love to see more of Rexodus, as the story seems interesting and the characters cool enough.”
    • “The story was just okay.”
    • “It's basically a non-interactive extremely short story.”

  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this VR experience receive mixed reviews, with many praising the art style and visual aesthetics, while others criticize the low-resolution textures and graphic glitches. Although the visuals create an engaging atmosphere, issues with head tracking and overall graphical fidelity detract from the experience, leaving some players underwhelmed. Overall, the game offers enjoyable visuals but lacks the technical polish expected for VR.

    • “I really liked the visuals in this VR cinematic experience.”

    • “Great graphics and voice acting, and an introduction to what storytelling will hopefully be like before we know it.”
    • “There are no options to change graphic settings.”
    • “Graphically, this game is underwhelming at the least. The textures seemed ripped out from N64's GoldenEye, and there is this weird sort of blur going around (maybe some bad post-processing?). The characters look nice, but the geometry of the objects is really low detail.”
    • “Short, boring, head tracking terrible, and graphics very low res... played on HTC Vive with 980 Ti.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is largely criticized for lacking interactivity, with users noting it feels more like a short, crash-prone promotional video than an engaging game. The "warping" mechanic is described as disorienting, and overall, the experience is limited to passive observation rather than active participation.

    • “The 'warping' mechanic feels a little nauseating, but it adds a unique twist to the experience.”
    • “It's just gameplay, but it lacks depth and interactivity.”
    • “The VR experience is short, lasting less than 10 minutes, and primarily involves watching rather than engaging.”
    • “Models are alright, but there's no gameplay. It's like a 5-8 minute video that crashes very often. It feels more like an advertisement for comic books than a game, especially since it crashes on every loading screen.”
    • “The 'warping' mechanic (which is controlled by a script) feels a little nauseating, and there's no interactivity at all beyond looking around.”
    • “It's a short (less than 10 minutes) VR experience with no actual gameplay; you just watch what is happening around you.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report that the game is well-built and runs smoothly, but there are notable graphic glitches, particularly related to shadows, which can cause inconsistent flickering on the screen. This indicates that while the game has a solid foundation, it currently suffers from some stability issues.

    • “Haven't fully watched it, but it is nicely built and runs great.”
    • “Sadly, there are graphic glitches; I suspect it's related to the shadows. There's a variable slower and faster flickering at the top part of the screen with varying heights and intensity.”
    • “The game is quite buggy at the moment.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for primarily serving as an advertisement for a comic book series, leading to a passive experience rather than an engaging one. Despite this, the game's polish suggests it may still be worth exploring for those interested.

    • “All said, it seems to mostly just be an advertisement for a comic book series, which looks even campier from the previews they offer, and it seems to just be a passive experience, despite pretending otherwise.”
    • “An advertisement for a comic.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features an engaging story, but players have reported issues with optimization, including noticeable stuttering and significant frame rate drops, despite other VR titles running smoothly on the same hardware.
