Ancient Journey VR

Good idea but needs more work. Jumpy graphics, museum not very interactive, akward to move about, Moving your head about changes daytime to nightime in certain scenes. Sometimes trees are rooted in mid air. Flashing on and off scenery, cardboard cutout plants in some places. Painted doors that lead nowhere. Has potential but was released a bit too soon. Kept on running after it was closed down in Steam VR so it clocked up two hours in the background. Got a refund before it could clock up any more.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/cAW2rKFQmI4 I honestly would not recommend this game at the full retail price. It's way overpriced for what it is. I bought this on sale for $5 and even then I think it's only marginally recommendable for those who have an interest in ancient exhibits. The main problem with this app is that the 3D scans are not the best. Don't get me wrong, they aren't horrible, I've just seen higher quality scans in other apps, some of them free. That's not the only problem with this app. There are 3 exhibit areas. Each area looks like the exhibits were just thrown in together in a room too small to hold them all. I have no idea why you'd make small rooms in VR when you have that many exhibits, but it's done to a bad effect here. There's also very little information on the exhibits. You'd think at this price there would at least be narrated information for each piece, but that ...

(Original Vive) Ah what a shame to have to leave a negative review. This experience is far too expensive for how unpolished and inconsistent it is. I honestly don't think there would be so many negative reviews if this wasn't marked at $24.99. Major issues in relation to this being a $25 product: - lack of detail in the artwork - lack of consistency with how art is labeled. All should have specific fields such as Date, Location found, Notes, etc. and for fields that are unknown, state that it's unknown. Consistency is necessary. - some art not labeled at all - some labels were very close to the ground and difficult/impossible to read - not possible to get close to some art/labels. Seemed to have to do with nearby portals. - portals should be labeled so we know where we're going - sizing seemed off. I couldn't tell in the main museum, as I have not seen these in real life and cannot compare, but when I visited India (I believe) it seemed that things were too big. Noticed the sam...

Fantastic work! VR is not just for games its the way to discover the REAL world being at home! Dev please add more interesting places.

Got something going here, but it's really nonsence. These trips back in time is really poor. Add to it an controller that can't turn you around.

This is a promising experience, but found controls annoying in WMR (not officially supported). Patiently waiting for developer to update, before trying out again.

Recommended for only enthusiasts. I played this experience first on Viveport Infinity two years ago. When I saw it was on sale, I bought it for my steam library. The museum as the main experience is a realistic environment, which has three rooms for historical artifacts of egypt, rome and asia. The photogrametric details of the artifacts are not perfect, some of them are too simplified on geometry, especially the relieves are lacking details of small indents and concavities. But, their textures still seem at high resolutions and they look photorealistic and believable if you don't pay attention very closely. So in general it does its job. The game has only teleport locomotion and oddly no snap/smooth turning option available. That teleportation mechanics is not even good either but it does its job somehow. The museum also has three sub experiences as separate maps which you can teleport to. They are just a historical thematic environment to roam. Their quality is not as good as the...

Very good, please add more artwork! Expand the epic museum!

Nice collection of ancient artifacts from around the world. The added environments are like old video games (thinking Nintendo 64). Only worth it on deep discount.

No joystick rotation is just a mockery of players. Refund.
