  This is a great experience for Britannic, but it's not perfect. The biggest thing that needs to be added is a way to change rooms while actually in the game. A menu would be fine, but adding the hallways that connect the spaces we can visit would obviously be the best thing. It's incredibly annoying having to quit to the main menu and reload into a new room. Seeing the interiors and exteriors of how the ship would have looked as an ocean liner is a dream come true, and it's cool seeing those same interiors and exteriors as a hospital ship. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to learn more about Britannic. Night time freecam needs to be added to RMS exterior, it's criminal it's not there.

  I think this was a major miss. I was stoked about this game -- and I am still stoked about the main Titanic project -- but Britannic: POTM didn't deliver. Here's what I liked: the graphics are superb, the animations realistic, and the player movement system well put together (little clipping). Here's what I didn't like: why is each room a separate menu option? Players should be able to move throughout the ship from one room to another. I understand that the entirety of the interior was not the goal of this project, nor did I expect it to be, but the fact that I can't go from the grand staircase to the pool without multiple loading screens is unacceptable. Model a couple hallways or something. Additionally, the sinking is extremely underwhelming. The developers ignored the entirety of what makes the sinking fun to play: watching the water rise. For example: we're promised a grand staircase but only get it in its static form. In its current state, the sinking is an entirely external affair. You cannot enter ANY interior during the sinking. This too is unacceptable. I should be able to see the water go up each stair, flood the hallways, etc. Luckily, there's a $3 Britannic game that already does the same thing this game does (external sinking). Severely disappointing. Lastly: how are you going to make a game about a sinking ship and include no swimming or drowning system? Here's what happens when you touch the water: you stand on top of it. That's it. And that too is unacceptable. Considering you can get a similar sinking experience from a game 80% cheaper, and considering the museum mode (while impressive graphically) has HUGE problems with loading times, navigation through menus, and the fact that it feels unfinished, I would wait for a steep discount following updates from Vintage Digital before purchasing. Let me finish by saying this: I truly, seriously wanted to love this game. I have been following the development of Titanic HG for years, and this was Vintage Digital Revival's first opportunity to show us, the fans, that they can deliver. But instead, this unfinished, unpolished, game makes me much more weary about the future of what they can produce.

  I had so many expectations, but in the end it felt like it was kind of a big let down. The exploration feels utterly disjointed. You always have to go back to the main menu to go to another room and the selection is rather small anyway. However, the rooms do look beautiful, i give them that, they know their modelling well. But at the same time the optimization feels like a mess, some rooms take very long to load, which makes the disjointed interior exploration even worse. And lets not forget the embarassing moment where the game said "Naples, Greece". And then of course, you can't explore the interior during the sinking and the game even taunts you by allowing you to look into so many interior rooms through the windows. Even the trailer seemed to hint at such thing, but no, it was just a promenade area that you could explore. And the effect of sliding furniture looked rather akward, with no sound effect. Movement was also very glitchy during that, sometimes I clipped through the ship and once i even fell into the void below. To somewhat sum it up, the game is beautiful. The ship is modelled with so much attention to detail that even on lower graphics, you don't miss out on too much. But the actual innards of what makes a game a good game, are next to non-existant. And for the sinking animation, there are other options available. Even ROBLOX has a free to play Britannic game with more effects and interior that can be explored during the sinking. Again, beautiful and educational game, but thats it.

  So, I think it's important to understand what this "game" is and what it isn't before taking the plunge. (Heh.) To start, BRITANNIC is not really a game. You're purchasing one of the most historically-accurate models of one of the most famous families of ships ever constructed. So, what does that mean? There are two modes in BRITANNIC: Real-time Sinking and Tour Mode In Real-time Sinking, it's exactly what you'd expect. You are on the deck of the Britannic only minutes before the ship strikes a fatal sea mine. From there, all of the ship's maneuvers, the commands at the helm, the release order of the lifeboats (and which ones get rocked by the propellers), and the final plunge of the ship happen about as close to true life as the team could get it. It's 55 minutes of riding the Britannic into the Aegean Sea, and for fans of the ship it's an awesome experience. Tour Mode is a series of interior sections of the ship that you can explore, and include both the original interiors (which will feel very similar to those of the Titanic) and the interiors after the Britannic's conversion to a hospital ship. These are NOT connected, so it's more of a list of locations that you'll have to visit one at a time. This is kind of a shame, but these locations are simply gorgeous, with the perfect music to accompany them. That's BRITANNIC. Is it worth the $15? I'd say *absolutely* if you: 1) Want to support a small dev team committed to historical recreations of famous ships like the Titanic and Britannic. I think their work speaks for itself if you cruise their YouTube channel. I personally think educational games like this should have more of a place in the industry. 2) Have an interest in the Olympic-class liners, or even just an interest in the Titanic. The Britannic and Titanic were not so different from the outset. 3) Want to experience the sinking of what was once one of the largest moving objects in the world, to see how the ship was evacuated, the technology at their disposal, and the jump between maritime standards after the sinking of the Titanic. That being said, the experience isn't perfect. My suggestions for future updates: * More interiors for Tour Mode, maybe even some that connect to the exterior or to each other. * [b][i]A series of subtitles during the Real-time Sinking that provide a timeline of events as you ride the ship down.[/i][/b] Not unlike what the dev team does on their YouTube channel. I feel like this is an essential addition. * Interiors for the Real-time Sinking. Being on the deck is cool, but I think being able to go inside, even just a little bit, needs to happen. * The ship's wake and some related water effects don't look super great visually. I think these demand some improvement. * On Tour Mode, being able to jump between information nodes would be a nice QoL addition. * Not sure if it's possible, but the ability to remain on the ship for the last few minutes would be a fine addition. At some point, the list is great enough that you just fall off. Maybe the option to teleport to a static position during the final minutes? * I wanna get into the crow's nest. EDIT (June 21): Some additional stuff I'd like to see after spending some more time on the ship. * Can't stress how much I think the sinking needs an option for informational subtitles that correspond with events on the ship. I think it would make the experience exponentially more engaging. * More options for how to experience the sinking. Even an option to jump to the final plunge from the playlist would be good. And maybe copy those options over for free-camera mode, which only has the one option currently.

  Love: - Graphics - The realistic sinking - The boats getting lowered in real time and in order - Seeing the RMS and HMHS - Historical accuracy Don't Love - Loading screens to go into every area of the ship - Some minor glitches Bottom line get the game if you are a fan of ships in general or want to support the team at Titanic HG.

  This is more of a digital museum than a game, as there's no goal or real gameplay mechanics. I think having a digital museum is a fantastic idea rarely explored and welcome this team to try their hand at it. The modeling and general artwork is outstanding quality, as is the sound. You get info boxes that pop up around the ship that detail what you're looking at, such as the giant organ in the main staircase (which sounds beautiful). You also get to see the ship in both it's WW1 medical outfit as well as its traditional White Star Line ocean liner fitting that never saw the light of day. And of course the star of the show is the real time sinking which you can watch from afar in free cam and in first person. I do wish we could explore the interior pieces during the sinking as shown in some trailers, as well as more of the ship in general. This team's Demo 3 of their Titanic model for their core game in development has vastly more space open to explore, but I understand it's a lot of work. If you like ships, I highly suggest downloading their free Titanic demo on their website, it's gorgeous, as well as the sinking animation for it on youtube. I got this mostly to help support the team's efforts on Titanic and hope for a very successful future ahead for all involved. Thanks for keeping a piece of history alive and well.

  [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/03z6i7_5VnY I think this experience is a great deal at the current sale price of $8.24 USD. This is an incredibly detailed recreation of the Britannic. It really does bring the ship back to life through the magic of virtual reality. Keep in mind, this is a strictly educational / historical experience. The only experience is being on the ship, there are no interactions of any kind, other than being able to walk around the exterior (top deck) and some of the interior rooms of the ship. You do have full locomotion and snap turning. The game is running on the Unreal Engine. On my RTX 3080, on cinematic quality (highest), I was getting about 50-60 frames per second. That is on the low side, however, it did not effect my enjoyment of the experience at all. I did experience this on the Oculus Quest 2, using the Oculus link cable. The visuals are excellent for the most part, especially on the interior rooms. However, the areas are quite small and there's only a few places to visit. You can visit the entire exterior (top deck) of the ship, but there are many rooms you won't be able to enter. There's only a few places you can actually get into. Gates will open automatically for you once you're near them and you just kinda drop or climb from stairs in an unnatural way. I want to estimate that you can visit every room and do everything in about 2 hours, assuming you're doing so to fully enjoy the experience and not trying to speed run it. So there isn't a lot of content. I will say that the ambient ship sounds are excellent. However, the waves and the horizon are pretty poor quality, especially compared to everything else. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in this historic ship. [b]Rate 7/10.[/b] [quote]Please consider joining my Steam Curator Group.
