Well, this is going to be my first review in steam so I´ll keep it short. I´ll call this “the leberation from the **** whale”. I have my vive almost a year now and figured out 2 main uses for it so far. First you can watch short and entertaining “Movieclips”. Second, you can show other people VR and why you are so excited about it. For these VR-sessions i have a routine: start with the lab and than a little bit of amazing painting (Bob Ross style). And than, when everybody craves for more of this new delicious VR-experience I have to choose: experienced gamer friends will be pushed into some serious Sam or space pirates action or, for the casual granny, the wale.... I hate the whale because everybody is like: okay, fine, got it... Bye. All excitement gone... **** whale! So that’s where this game experience comes into play. I bought it because it looks superb and it is in space! No deep sea but space! I played the whole experience in one go and enjoyed it a lot. It is exactl...

I very much like this! What you do yourself in this VR experience is straightforward - you select a planet and travel to it in your pod. On arrival you can either stick your head out the window to view the massive planet (ever seen a dog stick it's head out of a car window - yeah, that'scwhat you'll feel or look like in VR) or you can select for the pod walls to withdraw into a small circular platform which allows you to view 360. Of course, the purpose of the program is to travel and view the planets and wow - superb! The imagery on the planets is awesome - IMO really high standard. To view the different planets of the Solar System involves pointing to a planet, sucking it in with the laser pointer and inserting the planet into a sort of capsule holder, hold the poles to activate hyperspace travel - and off you go in style! If you like using Google Earth to view Earth zoomed out in Space then you'll really enjoy exploring the Solar System planets with this. It goes without saying y...

I recently got a Vive for cheap. And while I am still not quite convinced by the the whole VR trend, this little gem is giving me some hope. It feels like VR exists to bring experiences like these to life and it is also a great showcase for what can be the competetive advantage for the VR experience in the future. It is hard to explain the sensation when you enter the lobby, hear the subtle humming in the background and marvel at the futuristic aesthetics. It truly makes you feel like a highly sophisticated space explorer about the begin your first stroll into the endless depths of space. And since watching the new "Cosmos" documentary by Neil deGrasse Tyson (highly recommended on netflix!) I have been longing for a sensation like this. It might not be 100% the same experience as gliding through space yourself, but until we can book our own real space vacation I feel like this is the next best thing. Of course if you want to play some high octane wave shooter or surreal experience lik...

awesome, love the whole look and feel! very laid-back and classy. basically a visually driven experience with interactive events along the way. each planet is presented differently, some in really surprising perspectives. the probes around the levels were really cool the watch and interact with, made space less sterile. amazing sound effects also, you can feel the warp jump in your stomach, make sure you wear headphones!! game mechanics are very basic. you can play around with little versions of the planets and destroy one asteroid. would have loved to able to do more here (e.g. scaling), but what is there works. ISS is like the action part, the 100 meter free fall nearly made my heart stop lol. Good thing it's optional. visiting all planets took me around 40min, will be back to see what I missed! runs great on my 1070, the other reviewer must have issues with his rig. 8/10

Didn't spend much time with it, simply because there wasn't much to do. And as another reviewer said, the planets don't have much detail and there aren't any info panels or anything. Might be a meditative break game if I didn't feel like a was in a jail cell most of the time with the Sunlight reflecting blindly off of the port hole. At this phase of the VR game you're going to have to at least do better than Titans of Space if you want that kind of sticker price.

Was really hoping this would be a great showcase demo of the vive and decided to pick it up. Bad idea. I have a 1080 and the game lags even with no SS on. It also has no graphics settings which you can adjust. And the best part is it is not even that graphically good, the planets are washed out and not impressive at all. I hope the devs see this and adress the issues.

For the sale price of $2.99, I do heartily recommend this VR tour of our galaxy. It is very informative and has some very nice views of the planets from space and a nice up close look at our moon. A lot of the focus is on the terrain of each planet along with their moons. Space satellites are also mentioned when applicable. I think it's strange they didn't include the Sun. Also, the controls were clunky. I get that they are going for immersion with holding the grips when launching off to another planet or opening the doors of the shuttle. However, it gets annoying after a few space hops. And you can't easily go where you want, you have to literally find the planet and then point towards it. It took me a whlie to find Venus. And you have to open the tabs on the machine and then open more tabs to get more information on the planet or moons. Still, I enjoyed the VR tour of our galaxy. It took me exactly 42 minutes with trying to make sure I looked at everything the tour had ...

I've been waiting a while for something like this where the experience has been designed with standing up in mind rather than sitting down. Travel to the Solar System planets in an instant and then hover over the planets and basically look at them and Space all round them; very nice and well made! Saturn looks massive in VR you can also check out the International Space Station close up. My only gripe is I can't have a closer look at the Moon as it's not a Planet but that would be an awesome edition in a one off capacity! My setup is using GTX1080 and 1.4 super sampling and it now works fine after latest update - you probably can go a little higher and that's what I'm gonna do later... I think families and people who are new to VR would like this program as a 'look at what VR can do' sorta program, and also for people who just like looking at Space stuff.

Spacetours VR is a short but beautiful exploration game, playing with scope and alieness, a reminder of man's forlornness in the lonliness of space. Or you can just use it to show off your shiny new vive and rub the awesomness of your rig in the face of your very best friends. 8/10

I was a disappointed with this Space Tour showcase and actually thought that maybe some of its features weren't actually working for me but no, it operates as intended. Good: -Good visuals and sound effects -Has the wow factor when the ship walls dematerialise Bad: -Control system is confusing, buttoms on the control panel don't actually have any function, other functions like toggling ship visibility seems to operate at random. -NO INFO about planets, moons, satellites at all, not even a label, save the title of the planet on the control panel!!?? -No ability to fly around the chosen planet, you're just parked in orbit in a spaceship/platform with no movement controls!? -Help menu says laserpointer triggers 'Events' I've yet to see or hear any event; it wouldn't be hard to add more information to make this app informative and more fulfilling - its almost there developer
