EVEREST VR™

Very disappointed. It gives about an hours game play tops and when I mean game play, I use the term loosely. I went up one ladder, walked across a narrow ledge, used some hand grips and voila. I was at the top. game over. I'm sorry but I need more than an hours entertainment for £20. I was expecting so much more of this game. very disappointed.

If I could sum this game up it’s basically, TheBlu meets Apollo 11 VR. Back when the Vive was announced, Everest VR was the reason I dove into vr in the first place. I literally ordered my vive for the Everest experience and spent another almost $2000 on a pc that could eat up vr content with high fidelity. And yet here I am, with the experience that I’ve been waiting for, google-ing up every day for more info/release dates, completely underwhelmed – even if this is classified as an “Interactive Experience” rather than a game. I’ll start with the good things. Visually, Everest VR is stunning, the model of the mountain and the surrounding range is accurate, beautiful and majestic. It is something to behold. The weather special effects are lovely and rich, graphicaly everything is very polished. On my GTX 1070 im able to crank all the sliders all the way to the right and it runs great. But that’s it - the good ends there. While i appricate the amount of detail and work t...

Unfortunately this isn't the experience I was hoping for. Each area you get to 'walk' around is only about the size of your play space (2.3x2.3m in my case) and that's it. The teleport ability isn't put to use which is a shame because it seems like there are large areas you should be able to explore. There are five areas in total. So expect around 20-30 minutes of time in the game and that's with the flying movies you have to sit through and the annoying tutorial section. It does a good job of showing what is possible with VR but at this price, it isn't something worth while for a one time use at home. Definately more for show floors and selling the headsets in shops. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Very nice photo-realism experience. It takes about 30 mins to go through the whole experience. Not sure it should have cost $24.00, but I guess it is a good way to introduce people to VR if you have friends over.

the bulk of the game is just standing and watching a bunch of everest video cutscenes. Very little gameplay/interaction involved. I was looking forward to this game and it wasn't what I expected at all.

It looks nice, but it should be free as Destinations, because all you have is about 5 Destinations maps with some interactivity. All landscapes are dull (3d real panoram would be much more better) and sense of presence is quite poor.

Felt compelled to write a review for this like a few others. I had been looking forward to Everest VR since I first heard about it more than nearly all other VR games/experiences. But sadly I couldn't have been more disappointed. When it released and I saw the price I thought great, this must be a full length, fleshed out VR experience/game. Sadly it is anything but. Instead they've made a VR experience which is barely 30 minutes in length, with some small sections of gameplay which are downright boring, that at most is worth around $5. If it had been at this price point I would not have refunded my purchase (it does have some nice views), but sadly I cannot support developers who are simply trying to rip off their customers. Shame on you Sólfar Studios, I think you can see now most of us early VR adopters will not tolerate this blatant overpricing of VR games.

I was pretty pumped about this one after reading a bunch of articles online about how amazing it was. It is definitely the best "Experience" VR game I've played, and they did an outstanding job polishing it. I had zero glitchy issues and everything was smooth as butter throughout, and the views are gorgeous from start to finish. The only aspect of this where I felt a little bit let down was in the lack of immersion. I didn't feel as high up as I thought I would. I didn't get the sensation that my life was at risk and I was really scaling a massive mountain. It was more of a "yeah I guess thats kind of cool looking" feeling. Not what I was hoping for. I wanted to feel terrified by my surroundings, but I didn't, at all. It's also very short, I was done with it in about 10-15 minutes, and short of showing it to others it is going to be one time experience for me. It's worth buying, but reduce your expectations a bit first.

Very disappointing - mainly because i had high hopes and also it was $25.00. If it was free or a couple of bucks fair enough, but at that price, too little conten andt no real gameplay of any note. A tech demo at best and even then i have many other demos that i would use to show off the vive before Everest VR.

TL/DR Version: One of the most hyped experiances for VR. One of the biggest letdowns in actual practice. The Long Story not cut short: (Warning, it's probably gonna talk lots of philosophy not just a simple game scrub down.) I wanted this to be a showcase to the world as to why VR should be a relevant platform for the future of gaming, and virtual explortation and experiances in general. I wanted to love this experiance. What we get instead, is a 30-45 minute chopped up highlight real, with out any of the real immersion anyone who has spent any more than an hour in VR is really looking for. No one doubts that it looks good, but as we enter into an age where -this- sort of thing is going to become the standard, it's the gameplay / interaction / storyline / immersion that I believe are going to make all the difference and in all of those critical components Everest VR as an experiance fails. They could just as easily have taken you on a virtual tour of the entire climb where you s...
