The good: - Decent Graphics - Decent Story - Good 3D models - Short - Great motion capture and facial expressions - No movement required - Quick shortcut to reset position The bad: - Pricey without discount - Cloth physic is... meh - Short - VR controllers are basically useless - No movement making my VR body feels awkward and distracting when I sit a little differently on my chair The conclusion: I intended to refund this immediately after finishing it considering my financial situation currently, but it's too good to refund so I decided to keep it

My goodness. I never expected the true ending. This was quite a ride and kind of made me sad that I wouldn't have anything else to look forward to with the two of them.

Very similar to the rest of Hasekura's work, and much like Spice & Wolf VR, is rather short but sweet. Hasekura writes in a very simple manner akin to ordinary day to day conversations which makes it feel personable. I feel if this medium evolved from this, to even minorly interactive (moving arms about even would make this conversation style VR visual novel much more immersive) and lengthier experiences (2-3 hours, like a movie, would probably be ideal) we might have a seriously cool genre on our hands. As is, I would only recommend this to people who are fans of Hasekura, and also only on sale. $25 for an hour or maybe 1.5 hours is still too much. Also, unlike S&W VR, there's no quality options. Please let me turn off the bloom, holy shit, SO MUCH BLOOM edit: SPOILERS FROM HERE ON you heard me there is a slight suicide theme near the end which is frankly lampshaded, so while the act of suicide is committed, it's kind of a bad cop out. the 'good' ending is imo the 'bad' ending, despite what it means, and I think this is an inherent flaw on Hasekura's work; it always has to end out good in the end. The bad ending feels more like 'me'. The good ending feels... wrong. I had a great experience overall, minus the 'good' end. It was fun.

Pros: +Engaging story +Smooth animation and good looking models Cons: -Price -Odd forced perspectives Thoughts: This was not bad for the first VR anime ever (that I'm aware of). It follows a story about the degradation of human thought and emotion in the age of AI, which is very important to think about as the AI will be descending upon us very shortly . . . Unfortunantly, you experience this story through the eyes of one of the characters. This may not seem problematic at first, but it becomes apparent when they sit down; your perspective is forced into a position that you are currently not actually in (or vice versa if you watched the anime sitting). The screen freezes for a few seconds inbetween every scene as well. If you want a perfect, immersive film, this is not it. It feels a bit more like an experiment. There is certainly a long way to go in bringing anime to VR, but I deeply respect developer Spicy Tails for breaking the ice. Also, regarding the price, I don't think Project Lux is for the average VR consumer. You probably want to be a fan of anime or really intruiged by the possibilities of VR storytelling to pick this up. Score: 7/10

Pull up a chair and dive in for a story. A wonderful tale that is presented in an imaginative new way. The majority of the game is just listening to the musings of two individuals as they explore emotions, the thought process and the human condition. While there is minimal gameplay to this (you can't even move your hands and the controllers are just used for menus. Think "ABE VR") I found it to be quite a refreshing break from the majority of wave shooters, simulators and horror VR games that are availible. Lots of reading due to the English subtitles (since it is voiced in Japanese), but I never felt it took away from the immersion. A couple bugs here and there like my hand being caught in a weird position, but nothing game breaking. Over the course of five episodes you develop a fondness for both characters as well, since the game provides insight into where both characters are coming from. Oh, and the maine heroine is fully mo-capped by the VA so the movement is very natural. I went into this expecting a completely different experience, but I did not walk away dissapointed. The steep pricetag might put a few off, but I found it worth it for the experience (plus I am a fan of Isuna Hasekura's work). The game is a bit on the short side as well, coming in at around one and a half hours. I feel if it had gone on longer though, some of the appeal might have been lost since it is more akin to a movie than a game. If you're looking for something new and different, or maybe you like Isuna's previous works, this is definitely worth checking out.
