I enjoyed this and found it a good attempt at teaching history through VR. The surrounding countryside needed to be of a much higher-resolution to "feel" right, as if I was on a platform looking out over the landscape. It would have been nice to be able to get down to street level during the history lessons. The final scene/lesson was quite moving. Overall a nice initial example of history in VR.

Not Recommended

Obviously a another rushed VR experience. It had potential, I can see what they wanted to do but it falls much too short to be worth buying. Pros: - If you really like history and can tolerate monotone narrators then you may have some enjoyment. Cons: - Mind numbing, monotone narrator… - Environment rendering is so low rez, you can’t really see much. It’s just a badly done CG rendering onto a sphere. - The small number of interactable items are so useless and not engaging at all. - There isn’t even a tower beneath you, you’re just floating on this platform that appears miles above the ground.
