Yore VR

*EDIT* I have not played this game in several years so I advise users to use more recent reviews when deciding whether to purchase this game. *EDIT* It was worth the $15 alone to listen to a skeleton drop corny puns in an English accent. However, if skeleton puns don't tickle your funny bone then this is the beginning of what I anticipate to be a revolutionary experience in survival sandbox games. It's being marketed as the first VR Surival experience built for VR from the ground up and it shows. Things like mining/logging/crafting/combat all have a much more visceral feel to them than Vivecraft which feels like Minecraft shoehorned into VR. Not to mention they're taking extra care to make sure in game movement melds seemlessly in with the rest of the experience. You aren't limited to standard teleportation or gliding around, you have both options. Additionally they have extra customizable features such as darkened field of view to help combat motion sickness as well as the opti...

This game looks great!! I know others said they had issues with clarity, but with my GTX 1070 I had no problems. I went into the menu and changed it to Ultra and everything was super crisp. I did notice though that when I went into the main open world, it changed my graphics, so I just went in and reset it and was good to go. Love the friendly skeleton and chopping wood. The cart gave me some issues at first, but I appreciate that its like real life and if you run into a tree, the wood flies out. Note to self- avoid trees :) From what I've read, the devs are a small team and since it's an indie title, there are some hiccups for sure, but there is also a lot of promise of what's to come. The smelter was so cool and I felt like I was getting a work out in, bending over to load in the coal and ore. It's definitely a work in progress, but for Early Access the pieces of the puzzle are there. I also appreciate that the devs are being active with the community and working fast to fix some...

https://youtu.be/-GTMDvihOwo This is going to be a long one... Rereviewing the game as of version 3.9.2. Lets tackle the elephant in the room first off. Save games were reset again. This game requires a considerable amount of effort to achieve even small things. There's a trade off on work vs sense of accomplishment. Not complaining about that. I like that sense of accomplishment. What I'm upset about is the loss of save data. It's an EA title. Wipes will happen. They suck but are sometimes necessary. I will say that it does impact the review of the current state of the game. It's hard to recommend a game like this when their gameplay will be reset every month or so. Ok, on to locomotion. There are a lot of options here but it ends up being somewhat complicated to get things set up the way you want. Eventually I can get Onward style locomotion on the left controller but it takes a minute or two of finagling it. A simpler interface would be appreciated. Something to select left o...

I have always been a fan of the sandbox games that come out on steam but not that there is one in VR its lke a whole new level of immersion. Being able to roam around and explore the beautiful scenery, hunt some deer and harvest materials to craft with is just exreamly fun. Its still in early access but I can already tell great things are going ot come out of this game.

I'll temporarily suspend any gripes about the bugs given the next update will release an entirely re-coded new version. I will say however that I tried the highly unstable but more updated version of this alpha you can switch to via steams game properties and while entirely unplayable I did see that many of the core mechanics I found unwieldy had at least some attempt (even if early and still not functional) to take them in exactly the direction it seemed like they should be taken. After completing what there is to complete I think this has a massive amount of potential. Even though it is little more than a tech demo right now that only just barely showcases some of what the developer plans to add I did find I enjoyed myself. If the developer sticks to it and manages to execute things correctly I think this could become a really solid addition to the genre.

(Review for initial Early Access build) An interesting and fun game with a lot of promise. It's one that straddles the line for me on whether to recommend or not. There is some stuff to do in the game already. It's an open area, letting you explore, gather materials, smelt ore, build a couple buildings, etc. There is a cart you can pull around to hold your resources which I found a fairly nice concept. The variety of movement options is nice, as well as the inclusion of some comfort options. The few downsides : there is no personal inventory yet, managing resources involves loading up your cart with the items, and hoping that the physics don't do something silly. The physics doesn't go wacky like, say, bioshock, but more that 'item was pushed through bottom of cart on accident. It usualy happens with the tools(which reappear back at your house if you lose them, thankfully!). Plus resources can slide off the front or back if you are jostling the cart too much with sharp turns and o...

Devs ran away, last update over a year ago. Don't buy it.

Abandonware. The reviews would be worse if not for very old up vote reviews never being updated.

This game was a delight. A rich engaging experience with lots of potential. It feels like VR Skyrim. I am looking forward to what the devs have planned and to be along for the ride as it develops. I would definitely recommend the game.

As others have said, this is well and truly dead since 2017. Ignore, go buy something better.
