Time taken: 40 minutes for all the experience if you do it really slow you can maybe get 50, and that is with lots of talking and just watching
These review was written after doing the experience my self as well as letting a relative a go, they seem to have the same opinion
Sum up of there experience: "That is it?"

Sadly i will have to not recommend these experience at these time, i can only maybe recommend it as a first time experience to VR
The sum of it, these will be the first game i requested a refund on with a 22.49$ price tag, and all the things i heard of it, these needed to be much more then what it is

There is no really much i can add that someone else did not say all ready but i'l try any way
The Good:
  • The game is beautiful even with my GTX 970 i was able to see that even that the sittings do show it can become better with a better card
  • Graphics and super sampling menu build in, is a great plus
  • The tenant part feel pretty good
  • The small segments are pretty nice
  • Learn a little abut Everest without leaving the house

The bad:
  • The experience is very short
  • There is very small parts to do,
  • If you do not have a very big room, you will have to teleport in many of the parts with no ability to move back and and fourth to feel the full walk (i do believe they at least need to add a recommission for bigger rooms)
  • The part on the store page that says "EVEREST VR is a powerful first introduction to VR" is true , the game may feel much bigger to new comers to VR, but a user that all ready did outher things, will feel disappointment from it
  • The game lets you do things like put things on your back, and talk abut areas, but you never do them in the game it self

  • Biggest of all of the bad things in my opinion the small details, they seem to have left them behind, and that is one thing that really harms the game
    1. You have food on the start, you can eat any of it
    2. You pick an ice peak, you never use it
    3. There is no walking from one part to the second part, you just get teleported from one to the other
    4. The end... you get a flag in you hand (yes it show up from no where, its not handed to you, you do not take it out of your pack, you do not pick it up, it just shows up) and you need to place it on the top of Mount Everest but you cant pick a spot, you have to put it where the devs tell you to put it, and its not your flag, its EVEREST VR™ flag

    Personal sum up
    EVEREST VR feels like something that was worked hard on, but with all the work they forgot to put a game in there, they forgot the small parts that can make a VR experience from good to amazing
    These is sadly the first game i ever refunded on Steam as much as i remember
    I waited for these game for a long time, really wanted to see it yet keepet my self away from the hype, with a 22.49$ i expected it to be as much more then what it was

    Will i buy it again?
    Yes i will if the Devs takes things to heart and update it, give the little things to be done, let the feeling last a little longer, let the user feel he did not just buy a short demo

Same here
i do hope they get some more work and fix it up

but with all i said if its a new VR user you want to show them VR its not a bad starter
it just dose not hold for anyone that did outhers first
