I would not have picked it up for the full price, but it's definitely worth checking out now that it's 90% off.I was surprised how much I could float around without triggering some form of simulation sickness. Exceptions to that being cases where the game brings you too close to the floor (your character is horizontal, even if you're standing, in some cases it might be better to play crouched down). I occasionally also feel disoriented when I walk around while I'm floating, so I recommend stopping your flight before moving your head a lot (In future versions of the game, they should probably detect head movement beyond a threshold, and stop your floating movement at that point).The game uses a fancy Inverse Kinematics rig to give you a body in the game world, which is pretty neat when you play with a friend. Combined with the effect applied to your friend's voice when they talk to you over the in-game radio, it results quite an immersive experience.Those Inverse Kinematics also get in the way a bit unfortunately. Objects you hold are not tracked directly to your controller (I would prefer this in future versions). The in-game hands try to follow your controller as closely as possible, and due to some issues with the shoulder placement in the current version, that be off by quite a bit, so you can't rely on muscle memory or slight adjustments in your grip while shooting.. I've loved this game from the start and to try and get my "weightless" fix I tried Detached...I was over it within 10mins due to the helmet being in your way and the locomotion controls. Downward Spiral had made perfection by giving you the freedom of movent with the most imersive sense of floating I've encountered thus far. Nothing has come close. I truly hope the developers keep building onto this system becase in my opinion (and I've played a lot of VR games) they've struck gold.Can't say it enough...guys please...keep this project alive. It's truly one of the best out there.. nice half-life-lish work. good job.. Played it till the end and here's my review:pro- I love the general concept and story a lot!- visually very good, I love the colors, textures are really good, everything looks great- atmospheric lights and sound, I like it- very smooth, runs excellent with high framerate -> zero nausea!- love the idea of flinging- love the minimal music you sometimes herecons- flinging should me made a bit easier! Could be that I'm clumsy, but I'd love the fling mechanism to be a little less hard- like many VR games\/prologues, it's (very) short. A better price would have been 4.99 or something like that.Bottomline : I can't wait to play the full game!. It took me about 18 minutes to complete. It's like a preview at what Lone Echo is without the story\/AI\/narrative. But not as good.For the price (1.99) you can't really go wrong. Cool intro\/demo for VR noobs.. This is about a 30 minutes of cool space mystery for $2 and it was well worth the price. Don't look at this as a full game because it's not, look at it more like a taste of what to expect from the main game Downward Spiral: Horus Station. Without this I probably would've left Horus station on my wishlist for ages before trying it. I played in coop but it can be played in singleplayer too, it has a multiplayer mode which I thik is a horde mode so there's potential extra fun to be had there.Would very much reccomend if you are considering buying Horus Station but are unsure if you will like it or not. One extra note is that in Horus station the air gun movement system is replaced by a faster magnetic grapling hook system, and you can use snap turn while holding things wihtout it releasing your grip unlike in the Prologue.. Where the f**k is the next part? I have a bunch of papers to throw!. one of the very few games that made me VR ill. It's worth the 99 cent sale price but not much more due to length. Get Detached if you want zero G.. The graphics are amazing. AAA quality. Although the single player campaign is short, it is a fun way of getting used to the locomotion which is amazing. The real star of the show is the deathmatch! I logged in during a "play with devs" session organized on the steam community forum, and it was pretty intense. The zero G mechanic creates a whole new style of mulitplayer deathmatch and I think it's amazing and really well suited for VR. Getting kills and getting killed in zero G feels really epic, and it's fun how you can shield yourself from incoming shots using space debris. If you want to play multiplayer then be sure to add me as a steam friend. I'll be down to play anytime so we can build up this community. Also keep an eye on the community forum for scheduled matches with the devs.
