Love it I love this game, Its so simple in its game play but executed so well the only thing that makes me come out of the VR world is my back giving in. How much do I like it? Well i'm being very sad and making a T.V show using in game footage. Embarrassing myself for the love of this game. think that proves my point.

This is an underrated gem. It's basically Subnautica VR in space (minus the scary fishes). You have to manage resources and food to survive, meanwhile explore and build your station. The loop of keep dying to get a limited amount of food, and decision to kill myself for a better loop next round, make it great roguelite experience. However after some update food seems too adequate. I lost my motivation to find and plant my own. Also at a later point when I try to build the new compartment it is too buggy so I gave up. Hope the dev has fixed it. Full of potential. Definitely worth the experience. (played on oculus rift CV1)

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers This is an awesome deal. You're not finding a better zero-gravity crafting / survival space FPS experience at this price point. This could easily be priced at $29.99 USD given what you're getting. So there's quite a few randomly generated survival / crafting games in VR. However, this title belongs to be mentioned up there with some of the best in this genre from Subnautica or The Forest. The difference is that this game has been built from the ground up for VR. You're mysteriously stranded in space and you need to rebuild your spaceship. Luckily, there's a plethora of space junk all around that you can salvage for materials. However, you'll need to keep an eye on your oxygen levels, hunger, energy, and health. While you're doing that, your spaceship will get rocked by various space dangers. So you'll need to do quick repairs when needed (which requires you have to energy and parts). So you're always playing this game of having the right materials. Obviously, caution is strongly advised. You have a limited inventory as well so you'll need to store items at your ship. Just make sure you're going for the correct items or you'll end up missing a critical component. So this game is a lot about trial and error. I know I died several times early on because I had no idea what to get and what to leave behind. I also didn't know what were priorities and what were not. Look at your wrist for your objectives. I did find the controls to be clunky. I switched from press trigger button to grab to press grab to grab, but then when you create an item it wants you to press trigger which is then your turbo boost. There's only snap turning and you have to activate that from your options (look at your wrist). Locomotion is either by boosting in space or by grabbing and pushing/pulling yourself to your desired destination. If you die you will lose all your items unless you stored them in your ship so make sure you don't die if you have important stuff on you. It's okay to die when you don't. The game does save your progress when you quit. Lastly, don't forget that your gun is behind you. Rate 8/10. A lot of bang for your buck here, as long as you enjoy survival / crafting type games.

Ok so this was just some dumb demo that was sitting in my library forever and I honestly didn't even really want to play it, but when I finally got around to giving it a chance I played through the whole demo and bought it immediately and said "this is what I'm doing for the rest of the night". While a bit frustrating at first, it calmed me when I realized that my focus wasn't so much on just keeping a character alive, but rather upgrading the ship and get plants growing for the next astronaut which you take control of once you're dead, as you play as an endless line of expendable workers getting a little further each time.
