Conductor

Conductor proved to me that graphics are not the most important. The game is incredibly immersive. Convincing. Smooth. Very simple, but fun. I'm a mega surprised ... The game cost only a few Euros - and is on the same level as Rick and Morty. Probably even better, less claustrophobic. If someone, like me, is already tired of shooters - this is a very interesting alternative.

First off this game is great. The puzzles are short and fun to figure out, the world that you play in is mysterious, and the steam powered train is a really cool way to progress in a VR game. (Also, the music is really good and makes the atmosphere much better) This game does have its flaws though. It is short. I beat the game in ninty minutes. I play alot of puzzle games so I can fly through some puzzles. So, realistically the game would be an hour and a half to two hours tops. I did run into some frame rate issues where it would drop during some puzzle sequences, but not bad enough to make me sick. (Graphics card is GTX 970) Pros: + Visuals (works very well in VR) + Puzzles (short but fun) + Music (increases the mystery in the world) + World (interesting take on the apocalypse) +++ Progession system (train, would ride for 90 more minutes) Cons: - Frame rate (dips a little GTX 970) - Little story (interesting but not really there) - A little clunky (gravity gun does not always turn...

Conductor is a puzzle game made by the same studio as Abode, one of the best VR 'Escape the Room' games currently available on Steam. This time there are more story elements (while still very minor) and instead of being confined to two rooms, you traverse several locations alongside a train track and you have a handy tool at your disposal: a gravity gun. (TL;DR conclusion at the bottom; review intentionally omits specifics about puzzles to avoid spoiling the game) ------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]Visuals[/b] Conductor follows Abode art style as it presents itself in a texture-less environment, but nevertheless, in VR it is actually more immersive than those poorly put together games that use realistic textures but no coherent art direction. Here most areas feel very well put together and have more detail in terms of geometry than other similarly, small VR games. The darkness surrounding you makes the game feel atmospheric and leads to nice gamep...

Sooooooo, Conductor! The second VR game by Overflow (after Abode) is a cracking little puzzler. Without spoiling too much, the plot is roughly this: "You're on the run from a group of people who refer to you by your "subject" number. Before you is a steam locomotive. Go!" Driving the train is an absolute joy, from tossing coal into the furnace and lighting it, to the iconic whistle (Toot toot!). Conductor is *fairly* light on story, but there are written passages kicking around for you to find which hint at what's going on. Your primary objective though is to keep on running down the track, stopping at each station to solve puzzles in order to clear the way ahead. The minimalist art style works really well in that after a minute or two, you don't even notice. The models are really well made so the lack of surface texture feels intended rather than a lack of effort. The puzzles themselves aren't *fiendishly* difficult, but I did have to stop and think a few times. When stuck, I f...

Just finished this. Great game, puzzles are creative and have just the right amount of difficulty. Conducting the train listening to the tuned-in radio was really fun. A bit short and not much replayability, but easily worth the asking price.

Solid fun 1.5 hour game, i want more to this, difrent roads, difrent puzzles, survival elements, but you cant get evrything in life. i really enjoy the puzzles mechanics, i just wanted more, also the music is awesome, Protip you need to fix the antena to find a radio station, but once you do, man i really enjoy it <3. first game that dint make me depresed in a while.

Quite fun little game enjoyed it (only thing that i wish for that i could use controller to turn around) i liked puzzles they was quite easy but fun to do!

Good puzzle game with a bit of a story and an eerie atmosphere. Most puzzles were easy to medium difficulty. I got stuck 3 times and checked out a walkthrough to progress. It took me 2.5 hours to complete. Only teleport movement but that’s not an issue for me.

Good but short, I finished it in 112 minutes. Pick it up on sale.

I have very mixed feeling about this game. The mechanics and puzzles are fine, the ambiance is great, BUT there are two big issues : - huge performance/graphic issues, I'm having really important stutters that make the game not enjoyable to play at all - physics engine issues, sometimes the world stays broken after you restart after a collision, sometimes items in your g-gun inventory get lost under the ground... and the only way to fix this is to save, back to menu, and restart (and lose some progress in the process). Considering I encountered all those issues in just 45 minutes of play... I definitely can't give this a thumbs up (although I'd love to). Issues encountered on - Ryzen 3600 - GTX970 - Occulus Rift S I'll try again when I get my next graphic card upgrade, but I'm not even sure it will fix the stutter, it's not like the game is graphics heavy.
