  A good concept marred by some of the worst sound design I've ever heard and stiff wildlife models. Seriously, some of the bird and tree noises sounded like they're 16k audio clips from the 90s. You can sprout trees and flowers...but they spawn in front of you in almost comic cheesiness. Orange sunset was pretty, but not enough to redeem this game. Not worth $5, not sure what there is to like.

  Great relaxing experience. Please keep up the good work. This experience features 8 lovely designed environments with nice music. Wish List: For a future freedom of movement I would consider "arm swinging to walk" locomotion. Or maybe some sort of slow flying or hovering. Magic makes it possible.

  This is my first review. I'm writing it because Nature Treks VR warrants all the attention it can get. It's a walking sim built from the ground up for VR - Oculus or Vive - with no narrative, no goals and no progression. An elegant load room (playable itself) offers 8 (soon to be 9) beautifully modelled and lit environments ranging from a tropical island to a snow-covered winter wood. Each offers a large environment with plenty to explore including a range of animals and vegetation and a few easter eggs. There's a choice of modes of locomotion: fixed-point teleportation, and, for Vive users, point & click teleportation or arm-swing free locomotion. A togglable interface allows you to interact with the environment in a number of gentle, rewarding ways: you can seed new features: boulders, trees, vegetation & swarms of butterflies; and change the weather or time of day. You can toggle a lotus which furls and unfurls in time with the ideal breathing rhythm for meditation. Meditation was obviously central to developer John Carline's thinking in creating Nature Treks VR: the teleport points are indicated by a ghostly figure in the Lotus position. I don't meditate myself, but I do find myself again and again sitting down on the beach/carpet and simply enjoying the view for minutes at a time. And despite the artificiality of the VR experience generally, I emerge from Nature Treks VR into the real world feeling palpably calmer and refreshed. Nature Treks VR is a great demonstration game to show off of the capabiliites of VR to first-time users, up there with the other great pretties-fest, theBlu, in terms of aesthetics & finish, but with much greater interactivity and variety. For Carline, the game is a labour of love and he is constantly tweaking and improving, adding new features and responding to user requests. I love my actioners as much as any other VR headset owner; but Nature Trek VR offers something different and complementary to John Wick or Vanishing Realms; in the same way that the warm shower afterwards is different from and complementary to a workout or game of soccer.

  Critical performance issues (massive amount of dropped frames) on a computer that meets spec, badly needs optimization

  This game is exactly why I bought VR (ok, aside from Fallout 4 VR) I love how easy it is to explore new environments. This "game" looks great, and is very relaxing on my Vive. The locomotion may seem off-putting at first, but you quickly get used to it. I suggest walking in place at first (Or walking slowly and then teleporting once you reach the edge and walk back) I was skeptical on the occean, until I ran into a whale. My jaw dropped as I watched it float by. I'm not even exaggerating! This is extremely relaxing, and it almost feels like a lucid dream when I change the weather. More weather options would be fun! I think this was worth every penny. I love the feeling of exploration this provides.

  Loved it! One suggestion, DINOSAURS! Other than that, no invisible walls. Make there be a reason you can't go over here or there. You did it in most but a couple I ran in to invisible walls and that hurt it a little for me.

  I've played a lot of games on the Vive, but this was the first one to keep me in there until my cheeks were being chafed from the Vive. I just didn't want to leave these beautiful worlds. Really, really lovely. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to what you've got in store for the future.

  Amazing beautiful environments for relaxing after a hard days work, The scenery feels alive, animals are roaming around and the nature sounds/ambiance adds a lot to the immersion. You can move freely around within the instance to find your perfect relaxation spot. In some of the instances you can change a few things as well, like the weather or time of day. Things that could be improved: * No option exists to change the default settings. I usually want to start the experience with the menu turned of and with nature sounds only. But this has to be changed manually every time. * I would love the option to bring my desktop into the instances in the form of a virtual tablet so I could read a book or something while relaxing. * Animal animations and AI are mostly OK, but could still be improved upon. * There are a some graphic glitches and slightly blurred areas. Some textures could be improved. * Would like the ability to select music track and add my own tracks. * Moving clouds would be nice.

  I'm loathe to give this experience a negative review because I don't think it truly deserves one, but there are some glaring issues with it. The "ooh look at that!" factor wears off after ten minutes (even quicker if you look round and see a tiger walking endlessly into a rock), as the only thing to do is plant one of two trees, one shrub, make it rain or make it sunset. As others have said, it's purpose is a sit and chill experience, and it does that job very well. The graphics are better than other meditation-style environment sims for VR. But strange AI and odd derpy animations for the wildlife does break immersion fairly badly at times, and there's not really enough to do to keep me coming back (though the little surprise in the winter scene had me showing it to everyone for an hour!). My family have all tried it and agreed they'd be happy just to have more of a sandbox experience. More objects to interact with or create. Maybe stones for stacking, or a stick you can draw in the sand with, etc. Little physics things we can amuse ourselves with in our own ways. My little niece said she was sad that the animals didn't notice her, too :-) --Niece Update-- She's just had a nightmare about the gorillas and is now sleeping in with her mum :-/ Myeah, I'm with her on that, too. Why did you make the gorillas blind coneheads with vampire teeth?! To recap, AI skating and bad models aside, what's currently there is done well and is enjoyable. There's just nowhere near enough of the 'creation' element, so once you've seen the maps there's not much of an incentive to keep visiting.

  I petted a tiny rhino.
