    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the visuals and character animations as immersive and well-executed, while others criticize them as mediocre or dated, particularly in the context of modern gaming standards. Many users express disappointment over the lack of graphical options, which limits the game's adaptability to higher-resolution headsets. Overall, while there are commendable aspects, the graphics are often seen as a significant drawback that affects the game's appeal.

    • “The graphics look great; I think the way the people move tells me you are basing the animation on a recording.”
    • “The visuals I thought were very nice.”
    • “It's a free demo, very immersive and with excellent graphics.”
    • “Graphics-wise, this has some fairly mediocre and dated-looking graphics that will understandably be a turn-off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract players despite having no up-front cost.”
    • “You can notice it's one of the earlier VR experiences as the graphics options are non-existent, and it looks very low resolution.”
    • “The only thing I won't tolerate is blocky, old-school looking games because we have graphics cards that can do better now.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is noted for its interactive elements, allowing players to make choices that influence the narrative, which is a refreshing feature compared to many VR titles. While the initial storytelling is engaging, some players feel that the lack of deeper interaction with key elements detracts from the overall experience. Overall, it successfully blends familiar narratives with interactive gameplay, offering more story content than typical VR experiences.

    • “There are moments where you have some interaction with an object to move the plot along, including a choice that affects the story.”
    • “I love the idea of things like this -- movies, TV shows, etc. that we already know and love, with additional story content told through a game.”
    • “This 'demo' / 'ad' had more story than most VR titles.”
    • “Interactive storytelling, you make a choice (why they'd let the rookie take it off their hands for reasons other than game mechanics, well, but that of course is the reason :) ), you shoot some drones.”
    • “The beginning is only storytelling, but it was amusing.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, stutters, and glitches that significantly disrupt gameplay. Many players experienced severe performance issues, including complete system freezes, particularly when adjusting resolution settings or encountering certain in-game scenarios. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience, its stability issues have led to frustration and dissatisfaction among users.

    • “If you increase the resolution (or supersample), the game freezes or stutters.”
    • “Not that I have many VR games so far, but encountering minutes of consistent glitches with up to 1-second hiccups would be reason enough to immediately return the game.”
    • “I tried to play, but the whole game freezes my entire computer. It took forever to exit out of the game and move the mouse to finally unjam it!”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for being simplistic and lacking depth, primarily revolving around basic interactions like picking up objects and shooting drones. While some players appreciate the interactive storytelling elements, many feel that the gameplay is weak compared to the cinematic experience it offers. Overall, it seems to fall short for those seeking more engaging gameplay mechanics.

    • “Interactive storytelling, you make a choice (why they'd let the rookie take it off their hands for reasons other than game mechanics, well, but that of course is the reason :)), you shoot some drones.”
    • “I am not really a fan of the series but the overall gameplay and game concept is what I want out of VR.”
    • “It's pretty short and the gameplay aspects of it are very, very bad.”
    • “The 'gameplay' consists of picking up an object and handing it to a character.”
    • “The gameplay part is pretty weak, but the 'movie' part was pretty awesome.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is widely criticized, with users reporting severe performance issues, particularly on mid-range graphics cards like the GTX 970. Many express frustration over the game's poor performance, suggesting that it could be significantly improved if optimized for better hardware. Overall, the consensus is that the current optimization is inadequate, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “Although there are some performance issues...”
    • “Would love to see this turned into a full game, designed to run smoothly on GTX 980 or equivalent.”
    • “Optimization is terrible in this game.”
    • “Could be great if it was not for the bad performance.”
    • “The worst performance I have experienced with VR with my GTX 970.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the VR experience is criticized as being akin to an advertisement for the underwhelming film "Divergent," with users noting that it is only free in the same sense as typical online ads, suggesting a lack of genuine value for players.

    • “It's a VR-exclusive advertisement for the somewhat underwhelming film 'Divergent' from last decade.”
    • “This is only free in the same way that adverts on YouTube and banner ads in your browser are.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express that the emotional impact of the VR experience is profound, immersing them in the narrative and making them feel like active participants in the story. This sense of connection has sparked excitement for the potential of VR in storytelling.

    • “Being new to VR, this blew me away! I loved it; it made me feel part of the movie. Well done! I would love to see more. It has opened my eyes to just what can be possible with VR.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often tied to its quirky mechanics, particularly how it reacts amusingly when the play area is insufficient, adding a lighthearted touch to the gameplay experience.
