One of the best games I ever played in my life. Seriously. I can't remember the last time I got this emotional over a game. Probably only Mass Effect...

I've been playing it for quite a while now. While it does have some, at least for me, very minor immersion breaking issues, it is the best VR game I have played so far. I always wanted to experience Skyrim like this. It is a dream come true...

I just finished playing this and I have to say it is by far the best and most immersive VR experience I have tried so far. The visuals, the audio... Audio especially, it seemed to be fully bineaural, and I was able to tell exactly from where a certain sound was coming from, pretty insane. The story is fantastic so far as well, and I am really looking forward to seeing how it will continue! There were a few moments which felt so grand and epic in scale I almost felt like crying. And for those who are afraid you won't be able to run it on a low end GPU, I was able to run it on an AMD R9 270X with only light stutter now and then (medium settings).

I bought a shiny new ship today and went to mine some asteroids in a ring around a planet. I drop out of FSD (for those who don't have the game, it's like a warp drive) and there is an NPC waiting there. He says he wants my cargo and attacks me. I somehow manage to get back into FSD with 10% shields left. NPC is following me to FSD as well. He starts interdicting me and I drop out of FSD again. So does he. He starts shooting again, my shields are gone and hull is at 50%. I barely escape with my head. I start going to the closest station to repair. I drop out of FSD at the station and guess who else drops next to me. The same NPC. He starts treatening again and opens fire. Station Police attacks him. I have no clue what happened to him afterwards. http://imgur.com/gd296nC

10/10, would get followed, threatened and violated by NPCs again.

I have just finished playing this game.

It has been a long time since last I've played an adventure game as good as this. Game itself, gameplay wise, reminded me of Myst games, it has the same level of quality to it's puzzles. EVERYTHING in the world is influenced by the sounds you make while solving them. Some of them are so cleverly made that I was more that surprised, but I won't spoil it for anybody. Let's just say that solving puzzles never felt this rewarding before.

As a musician, this has become one of my favourite games. The fact that all of the sounds are live rendered in the game (it is a bit heavy on your computer, and unless you have a good CPU, it might crackle a bit), makes it so much better. I won't even begin about the inclusion of a usable studio for music production. It might not be as powerful as some DAWs, but it is insanely fun to play around with the same synths you already had to use to solve all the puzzles.

More than recommended, especially if you love electronic music and adventure games.
