'Icarus Challenge' should have been a simple to play relaxation experience in which you play the role of a bird, flapping its wings and freely exploring a small, low-poly island. There is even a "challenge" mode if you fancy that as well in which you have to fly as high as possible. If only you could fly! No matter what I tried I could not even last more than a few seconds in the air. The tutorial did nothing to help me and I was flapping as if my birdy life depended on it, but the amount of 'flapping' you have to do is crazy and I was tired before I had even begun! Maybe I was doing something wrong, maybe I needed real feathers, all I know for sure is that it is bloody difficult to fly and it's no fun at all completely ruining the main goal of the experience. It's not something I will be recommending anytime soon that is for sure, not until the flying is made a lot easier. Do checkout my rather frustrating gameplay video - https://youtu.be/jAgu9XrZrq0

About This Game
Operation is different with ordinary VR flight games. Player has to move his arms as if they are wings. Since its flight movement is based on aerodynamics, player cannot stay same point in the air nor rise automatically. For this reason, It require a little practice to fly at first Just as need practice to ride a bike. This game is a kind of "sports" rather than "video game". It is unnatural to fly without feeling physical fatigue, isn't it.
However it makes you feel like you are really flying in the sky like a bird.
If you get to able to fly as you wish you might be little bored. Then you can try "Icarus challenge". It is very simple mission. Fly and stick your feather into the highest possible place in the monolith. You can check your ranking in the lobby. Aim to be the highest flying player!!
NOTE
If you're struggling to fly, I suggest you start by practicing gliding.
After pressing B button to correct view direction, Please jump from a high place and lean your body forward. You don't need to flap your wings to glide.
