On easy mode I'd say that this would make a fairly decent introduction to VR in that it basically tells you what to do and you sit back and enjoy the experience. In hard mode this is something more like a themed escape room (all be it a little more hectic and less logical) where you are receiving radio messages and you have to figure out what the heck they are talking about and what you need to press. It can be really easy to overlook something important and this can end up with you crashing and burning with no clue as to what went wrong so you'll probably end up trying it a couple of times, but once you have a good idea of where the various systems are it's pretty easy. I'd definitely recommend playing on hard mode. It's very short but I picked it up on sale and don't regret the purchase.

One of the best VR games. Play on hardmode your first time around too, since the fun of it is trying to figure out what everything does. Easy mode just tells you everything, and turns a scramble to not die in space into just a set of following instructions. Also if you're using Index controllers, there's an alternate binding you can use in the usual Community Steam Binding menu that orients the hands much better.

Considering the premium you pay for some more lackluster VR experiences, Interkosmos is a steal for the price. It's a short-ish "follow these instructions before you die" kind of experience, but the funny writing and loving attention to detail really makes it stand out. I love the Soviet-era space program - the bravery, the audacity, the technical ingenuity... and Interkosmos captures this perfectly, from the glitchy flight computer to the chunky switches and handles. I loved the tactile sensation and "clunkiness" of the Soviet control panels, and it really makes the most of VR by sticking you in a claustrophobic cockpit. The humour, in the form of messages from ground control, brings it all together. It's short, but it's funny, beautiful and engaging - all the things I'm looking for from VR. You probably won't get more than an hour out of it but it's great fun all the same.

I wanted the full experience of stumbling around an unknown spaceship desperately trying to work out how to survive long enough to reenter correctly without dying, so I selected hard mode to start with. This mode disables a little tutorial describing the spaceship at the beginning of the game, and also removes hilighting on which buttons to push. In hard mode, I died twice, and then landed safely after about an hour of gameplay, at which point the game was basically done. I tried to aim the spaceship retrograde and deorbit manually far ahead of the script, but it didn't do anything. As far as I can tell, the spaceship is on rails (you can't actually fly and watch the oribital mechanics play out; you have one path and you die if you get too far off it). I can still hartily reccomend the game, though, because for the ~1 hour of gameplay, it did really feel like flying a spaceship, and it was awesome. Figuring out how things worked in hard mode was panic-filled and I died twice, but that's the fun of the adventure. I RECCOMEND ALL PLAYERS PLAY ON HARD MODE THE FIRST TIME. Having buttons hilighted when you need to press them takes away the main gameplay mechanic: figuring out how the spaceship works. On easy mode, you just follow the linear course of events, and working the fiddly life-support system quickly becomes frustrating. On hard mode, you need to think and work fast but also carefully to learn how to fly the spaceship without breaking it or running out of time. On easy mode, it's a movie that you have to play minigames to continue. On hard mode, it's a game. tl;dr: Only one hour of gameplay, but very fun. Play on hard mode; easy mode takes away too much gameplay and makes it boring.

I truly enjoyed playing in this fictional Soviet spacecraft hurtling across planet earth, pulling levers switches and pushing buttons that do important things. Lot's of fun and after a bunch of deaths made it safely back to earth! Sound design was great, and helped with immersion. From radio chatter with ground control to the chunky metal clanks of buttons levers switches and hatches or the hiss of leaking gasses and electrical shorts. The instructions over the radio were good, as I frantically searched for the needed buttons\ panels in russian and little english subtitled labels. Loved how I felt busy keeping myself alive. For 4.99 Interkosmos delivers a lot for space junkies, and/or button nerds. (Me) I truly felt like I was in charge of my destiny in this tin can. I had some difficulty with my virtual hands switching on or off certain buttons/covers which made things more tense but a bit frustrating. Hopefully we will see some control tweaks. I wish I had seen some ingame death sequences which would have added much more replayability other than a simple text explanation as to what I did wrong. I do wish this experience is expanded and polished up as it's fun and addictive. Now back to floating in my tin can.
