[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] Do not sleep on this game. This is probably one of the most criminally underappreciated VR hidden gems. Playing this game is an absolute delight. I never thought a climbing / platforming / light puzzle game could be this relaxing to play. There is so much beauty all around and there's this accomplishing, yet chill aspect to the adventure. It's taken me about 2 hours to finish the tutorial and the first biome. There are still 3 biomes left, each with 5 levels. Each biome has its own theme. The first one is the rainforest, the second is the fire level, I believe the third is the snow, and the final one I believe is the desert/ground. You do get a preview of them in the tutorial and you learn the basic mechanics. Unlike other climbing games, you're not going to be stressing out or get your sweat going. You can actually easily jump up the ledges and then just grab on to them and rinse and repeat. And unlike other climbing ...

Great game if you like atmospheric puzzles. Nothing too challening, but enough beautiful and engaging content that I've already done apparently 6 hours.
Played on Oculus Rift w/ Touch. Fully enjoyable even in early access form. There's 4 "trainer" levels and 4 "full" levels, 1 in each of the 4 biomes. Environments are detailed, crisp, and beautiful. One might say a bit ethereal :) And still played very smoothly on GTX 1070. Decent mix of user interactions incl explore, jump, climb, "powerups", and some light puzzling. Climbing had a good firm feel unlike the many games that include it as a token element.
This is a fun adventure game! If you liked Cloudborn or any of the climbing games, you'll probably like this, though there's more to it.
Good basic VR adventure game with reasonable price for content quality. Controls are clunky and unrefined. Camera lock from sliding on ice slope gave me instant headache. Jumping while on moving platform causes unpredictable, unnatural momentum. So uncomfortable I had to refund.
I'm in love with this game. Great climbing mechanics, beautiful world, great music and ambiance. I have only played the first world our of five so far so I can't speak for the rest of the game but I will definitely keep playing. I'm guessing this game has at least 5 hours of content if not more which is great for a VR game and much more than what I was expecting. This game deserves more love. I highly recommend it.
My stomach is asking, what the hell is going on with all this hopping around, my stomach is saying, I can't handle this. This is a no for me.
