  Too short. Too expensive. Finished in 3.2hrs.

  Took me a bit to decide whether to recommend the game or not and, in the end, had to go with no. Game is pretty short (like 2-3 hours short) and it doesn't really have much going for it. It’s a story puzzle game that has neither an interesting story nor particularly interesting puzzles. They have a really neat concept with the knife but failed to deliver engaging content for the vast majority of the game. It's also not nearly as pretty as the screenshots on the steam store page make it out to be but if you leave the well beaten path (which you're encouraged to do with the collection mini game), you'll quickly find all the repeat textures and bland environment surrounding the tunnel that’s been provided for you. I didn’t enjoy Boka much either; not that the character was bad but it was neither particularly likeable nor particularly interesting. You're intended to feel for your companion but, unfortunately, the connection with your alive machine is not developed so there is no real attachment to it. Even despite all that, I'd probably have given it a 'buy it if you can get it for a couple bucks' if not for the bugs. The game soft-locked on me twice and, since there's no save, you just have to start the chapter over again. Overall, its probably still worth picking up for $5 or if you have a youngling who's easily impressed but cant recommend it. There are better 'experiences', better stories and better gameplay out there to spend your money on.

  [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/2kK-Ezt0yTE This was a very tough call for me on whether to recommend or not. On the one hand, this game does a great job of world-building and you do feel like you're on this epic adventure in VR with interesting characters. On the other hand, this game is so full of bugs that it really takes away all the good feelings you might have had about this game. Whole game took me about 4 hours to finish, with all the bugs. Without the bugs, it probably really took me 2.5 to 3 hours at the most. The game is mostly about either puzzles or this throwing mechanic. The puzzles were pretty straightforward and not really a challenge. Usually, it was just object hunting or the use of simple logic. I found the throwing mechanic to be more challenging because you do have to be precise & sometimes quick as well (however, I was playing seated so that may have added to the difficulty). You do have full locomotion, smooth turning, seated, & comfort options as well as visuals & sound settings. The story is interesting, but I found it confusing as well. Without giving away spoilers, you're helping out your robot friend Boka. There's even this very nice musical number featuring a singing pig. There's obviously a lot more going on in this world that is left to the imagination. However, you never really figure out what's going on, or at least I didn't. In the end, as much as I wanted to like this game as it's exactly the type of game I usually enjoy, it just had too many bugs. I fell through the world several times in my playthrough. The game crashed. I clipped through almost everything. Boka didn't spawn in Chapter 2 when I made the tea several times until I found a fix by loading the chapter manually. All the characters froze during a restart on the last level, etc., etc., etc. [b]Rate 4.5/10. Buy on deep sale only if you're okay with having to put up with bugs because there is a nice game underneath it all[/b]

  I wanted to like this game as it does appear to be interesting and the music really is nice but it doesn't feel like it's worth the $30 they're asking for it. Upon first playing I ran into one consistent bug, the sound for the cutscene wouldn't play. I had to open the Steam menu and then close it just to get it. The cutscene was also very strange being a movie played on a curved black wall that could oddly be moved around if you touched the touchpads. The controls seemed rather odd as well but that could just be Valve's attempts to integrate the WMR headset into their platform. Interacting with the world around you was especially strange. Around Chiaro's home were these frog-like slug creatures you could pick up. Tossing or dropping them they just went into this weird pose and remained like that. Carefully setting them down they immediately went back to sleep as if you weren't ever there. Assembling Boka as well didn't feel very interactive. Grab a part, carry it to the right spot and it "pops" into place with the accompanying popping sound. What killed it for me however was after assembling Boka the scene fades out to transition into day as you wake up. I had the nice surprise of falling through the floor and terrain. The only way to resolve it was to force quit the game since I couldn't see the book to choose to exit. Side note about the book, it's a neat little touch. If only the controls weren't so overly sensitive however... But again that may have been because of the Windows Mixed Reality controllers. While I wouldn't recommend the game I wouldn't say avoid it either. If it goes on sale maybe pick it up. There might be community patches for the bugs that it seems the developers have yet to fix. But for me I'm going to apply for a refund and pick out something else.
