Abandoned. Try GearBlocks.

I wanted to make an electric vehicle with regenerative braking, but it regenerates over double the energy used to get up to speed... so by powering a generator with a motor, you get infinite energy. Good job.

Excellent platforming gameplay. Wonderful characters. A story that will tug on your heartstrings. You'll laugh; you'll cry; it'll change your life.

I found this game after completing Hollow Knight and struggling to find anything that can come close in quality. I played Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition and now this one. 10/10

Before "Reborn", this was absolutely amazing and everything I could have hoped for for a VR MMORPG. OrbusVR: Reborn completely ruined most aspects of the game. I really, really loved and recommended it before... it's such a shame...

If the developers have any sense, they'll release an "OrbusVR: Classic" or something, basically the old version. Alienating your early adopters is such a bad move...

Skill level: Perfect to play co-op with a child (if one of you uses the keyboard and one uses a joypad).

Story: Do not play this with a child. It get's suddenly very dark, then even darker, then sad, then much, much darker and sadder.. Major plot spoiler: Press the action button to weep from the depths of your soul! No literally, that's what the button does at one point.

Early Access Review
I have always loved trains and train sims. I recently found this game by accident while looking for VR compatibility for another (let's face it, THE other) train sim.

I STRUCK GOLD. One thing that had always bothered me about train sims is that they only give you the main controls, while most knobs and switches are there for decoration. Not here! The diesel-electric shunter and the steam engine both sit cold and silent for you to start up yourself. You have to check the controls and brake, flip the switches on the fuse box, check the dials (by switching on the cab lighting) and start the engine yourself. For the steamer, you have to shovel your own coal, check/set the controls, check water level, light the fire, build up steam, there's a functional blower and damper/draft lever.

If I'm being picky (I am!), the steamer could be more realistic with more features like cylinder ♥♥♥♥♥ (to avoid water hammers), realistic steam chest characteristics instead of a simple regulator acting like a gas pedal, realistic injectors, hand brake, tunnel blow-back, better fire simulation etc.
Also, I yearn for multiplayer, because being both driver and fireman is a challenging task!

All that said, I love this in VR and am excited to see what future updates hold!

A lovely little town simulator :)
I regularly go back to this and sink hours into it.

Buy Mudrunner instead. Oovee screwed the original developer of Spintires. How pathetic, they've even renamed it "The Original Game".

tl;dr - Civ V was amazing. Civ VI plays like crap by comparison.

The UI is terrible. The way fog of war clears looks like balls and sometimes it's hard to tell at a glance where you've cleared and where you haven't, and where your visibility currently covers. The general interface is harder to use and the feel is terrible. Unit icons are confusing when they're all close together, because they tried to round off the simple icon shapes used in Civ V to look more cartoony. I don't like the new art style either; it feels like a children's game. Workers have limited uses now - wtf?

Refund requested.

If you're considering buying this game, buy My Summer Car instead. You're welcome.

The game feels very unfinished. It had a lot of potential but it definately feels very lacking in every respect. The map is very bare with very sparse decoration. Industry is too over-simplified. Track-laying and controls are awkward (e.g. if you re-lay and delete sections of track, it gets more and more messed up until you bulldoze the whole lot and lay one continuous section again).

I have considered trying Transport Fever, their new game, but I feel like that's what Train Fever should have been, so I'm not going to pay even more for the game I should have had in the first place.

Bonus advice: Google OpenTTD if you miss Transport Tycoon!
