Can't recommend this one, as much as I started out enjoying the story and game.... Come down to two reasons.

First, this is a game on rails. No moral choices, no outcome changes to the story, and as the story went on, I disliked the arc more and more. I very much dislike the character's sister, and dislikes the entire premise of the mission. I don't think they address any of the major moral points in this game very well, it's a lot of grey, and you just have to go along with what the rails want, you have no agency whatsoever. I don't feel like your characters choices reflect the background she's been given or the choices she's made through the game, unless she's just brainwashed.

Secondly, the puzzles. The first time you have to do a quick little puzzle with turn knob/slide lever, etc, it's fine, thereafter it's just busywork. Climbing puzzles are an exercise in frustration, the picks are inconsistent, it grinds the game to a halt to work through these sections. The power-supply puzzles are by a wide margin the most fun ones, though even they can be a little tedious at time when they don't have consistent rules (power beam 2 with spot 1, then power spot 1 with the new beam works sometimes, but in others it resets the puzzle, for example).

A great time waster. If you leave you're computer on, 24/7, you can really rack up the active playtime. But a good idler, easy to understand.

Here in early access, I'm happy with the game, playign through the campaign and enjoying the return to RTS. That said, for the cost of the packages, the polish isn't there yet. Not worth what the cost is now, but might be eventually, I hope they keep improving it.

So I'd say the nofio does and doesn't do what it's supposed to.

Pros:
Untethered index is amazing. I love it for rhythm games like beatsabre, audioshield, etc.
Setup was fairly straightforward. Took a couple of tries, but once you get it working it's pretty easy.
Battery life is sufficient for my needs.
Latency was quite good, impressive really.

Neutral (all due to other people's experiences):
Comfort for me is fine. I didn't mind the weight on the back.
I didn't experience heat issues over a couple of hours of testing.
I don't use the index speakers, but rather noise cancelling earbuds, so no issues with the fan.


Cons:
Finicky cord resulted in a lot of not getting it working the first time setup issues.
Occasionally it seems to skip a moment, and you'll see a big downgrade in fidelity for a few seconds
Even when working fine, there seems to be a downgrade in visual fidelity
For any seated or lower movement/spinning games, a ceiling tether is just easier and faster to get into, with no downsides, so it's a very specific best-for-a-few games device.

I'm glad I backed it, it's important that VR get pushed, and this project was really pushing the limits when it was backed and created; that said, it's a very V1 of good roomscale VR that isnt' inside out, and it's not really ready for daily driving. I ended up selling my kit.

Incredibly addictive. Just the kind of fun game that you drop in for 30 minutes, play through and then get sucked back the next day for the same thing. Lots to unlock and discover too.

Simple idle time killer. Relaxing and soothing to just go through the simple steps and see large changes and rewards roll in.

Fun automation/building/planning game... very addictive, and polished for an EA game. Ongoing patches are making it even better.

This game is addictive and fun. I was glad it finally came to PC, bought it, loved it. I'm a competionist, and this game has a nice balance of side quests and collectibles to story. Not 200 hours to collect everything, but still a good long time and with major rewards (super armor).

Combat is skill based, softened by gear, so grinding helps. Cool story, which keeps you learning and caring about the lore all the way through. Great graphics, and novel enemies, which one can learn to beat.

Got this game a long while ago, when it was very unpolished, but still it showed a lot of promise. It's continued to evolve and improve over time... and it's a great game now, still a bit of a clunky crafting and interacting interface (terraria has it beat there), but a compelling universe and world exploration story. Very fun way to lose a whole lot of hours :)

A fun match-three puzzle, with various game modes and characters. It's lacking some explanations (different characters, different powers, rules for various game modes), but overall it's fun and engaging. It's very overpriced for a simple graphics puzzle game, but I picked it as part of the April Humble bundle, and it was a pleasant surprise.
