Space Rift - Episode 1

Space Rift is something I originally bought expecting somewhat of a more action-oriented dogfighting game. While this most definitely isn't the case, I was more than positively surprised. As the pace in the opening segments of the game pick up, I began going about my thing, almost forgetting I'm playing a game. Add to this the decent dogfight combat and I'm most definitely satisfied! Having both VR headsets on hand, I figured I'd try it with the Oculus Rift first in order to revalidate how well the unit works without even having the xbone controller plugged in. This game plays excellently with mouse and keyboard only. I did encounter one issue at a point where the probe was stuck in "landing" phase and never started drilling. It happened just once in around 1h30m of play. Video of first impressions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTdPhqdLvJE Slightly past the 13:30 mark the probe bug takes place.

Best narative driven fly around in your spaceship game in VR by far imo. I usually dont like this kinds of games but the story keept me hocked and i played it to the end. I really hope there will be a chapter 2

short but lots of fun cant wait for episode 2

I have played Space Rift during the beta, and I loved it. I usually get dizzy from VR games, after 10-20 minutes, but somehow I played this one straight for 1,5 hours. Well crafted, satisfying gameplay. It feels like to sit in an actual cockpit, turning around quickly, pressing buttons and feeling important… and there’s many small things to try out and to play around with. I definitely haven’t reached half of the content I should have in my play time, because I just spent time with random stuff. My only problem was that your spaceship is slower than it would feel right. Although probably I would be the first to puke if it would be faster. Maybe you could speed a bit more with short bursts of turbo? I donno. Anyway, I loved it. I don't want to overstate, but I don't think I ever played a better made VR game. Except maybe Tilt Brush. Get it while it's hot!

Spiel unterstützt nur Gamepad, mein Joystick wird nicht unterstützt. (Hotas Warthog + Pedale) Die Gamepad Steuerung des Xbone Gamepads ist Hakelig, man kann nur Beschleunigen und bremsen wenn man auf den Tasten des Gamepads rumtippt und das trotz analoger steuerung, Boosten ist eine quälerei. Die steuerung ist in einem gewissen bereich nutzbar, wenn man mit dem gamepad an die grenzen der kleinen sticks geht wird es hakelig. ich dachte zuerst es wäre ein problem bei mir aber ein gegentest in anderen games zeigte mir das alles okay ist... Rückerstattung beantragt...

Just played a lil bit of this and had to leave. My impressions. This is a FUN, Quality title! I've no idea of its length or what it plans to unfold but I like how the cockpit is handled and its use of the ship. The text on the screen is CLEAR Unlike ELITE DANGEROUS and the view distance in space seem crisper. The flying feels just a notch below however at this point but a welcome trade off being that I actually LIKE flying now because I read my controls ! Great title I RECOMMEND. I'll update more when I can! WELL, I GOTTA JOIN THE THUMBS DOWN CLUB! heres why, THEY DONT DISCERN THAT THIS IS AN EPISODIC game. i thought id be getting a complete game, i bought it was excited to spend the weekend playing it to tell you guys about it, when i see all the negative reviews about the games LENGHT AND ABRUPT ending! with that, it has to be thumbs down because had i known, it may have changed my purchase plans.

Mir hat's großen Spaß gemacht: Tolle deutsche Synchro, tolles Fluggefühl usw. - aber wo bleibt Episode 2?!
