  • The game offers a fun and entertaining experience, especially for fans of Survivorman, with engaging moments like snow sledding and paddling.
  • Les Stroud's voiceover adds a personal touch and helps players learn real-world survival skills throughout the gameplay.
  • The game is short but well-paced, making it suitable for quick play sessions and offering replayability through leaderboards and difficulty settings.
  • The gameplay is very linear, often involving repetitive tasks like gathering items and walking to specific points, which can feel limiting.
  • Graphics and overall presentation are plain, with some technical issues such as clumsy controls and low sound levels that detract from immersion.
  • The game lacks depth in its survival mechanics, with many skills feeling underutilized and explanations for tasks sometimes being unclear.
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is perceived as underwhelming, with users noting that it feels like a basic port from the Quest 2 version, lacking depth and graphical settings typical of PCVR titles. The character design, particularly that of Les Stroud, is criticized for its low-poly appearance, detracting from the overall immersion. Overall, the narrative experience does not seem to leverage the potential of the PC platform effectively.

    • “For immersion and presence, the game looks like an enhanced Quest 2 port, and the developers wrote that the PCVR version has limitations.”
    • “Les Stroud does look like a low-poly Quest model in-game; he could have looked so much better for PCVR, but I did think that the textures looked nice.”
    • “Thus, this looks like a lightly enhanced Quest port.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are considered plain and lack detail, with no customizable settings available, which detracts from the overall visual experience.

    • “The graphics are very plain and lack detail.”
    • “There are no settings available for graphics, which is disappointing.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is generally considered satisfactory, particularly for 1:1 quest ports, making it a suitable choice for players with older hardware who may have concerns about performance.

    • “That performance is normal for 1:1 quest ports.”
    • “This might be good news if you have an older rig and worry about performance, and there should be no reason to worry.”
