I bought this for $5 and knew going into it that it was a short 15 - 20 minute VR experience. I enjoyed the overall VR Mars experience and the recap of the movie. The activities were fairly bland, but I expected that. Overall it was a mildly interesting experience, but I was glad it was only $5.
Doesn't really do what it says on the tin. There are 20 minutes of this. Most of that time is spent watching film footage in 2d.
Something like 25 minutes of "VR" experience. But, from those 20 minutes, at least 10 are 2d movies on planes (taken from original movie). Overall quality is also quite bad - just look at cubemp for sky in first minutes - badly photoshopped. Textures of Mars are pixelized.. particle effects are also quite bad.. and so on.. and on.. a list continues.. overall, inconsistent assets that look like they were taken from assetstore. I don't know who made this, but looks more like a one man project. This is really a bad publicity for VR , that can give a lot more.

2 fps EDIT: this review was made with 16gb of ram, I have since upgraded to 64 gigs and the FPS goes up to 90-120. This game is hogging as much ram as it can, so that's why everybody has low frames, am I going to recommend it? No, it should be free, mechanics are jank, the only part I liked was driving the rover, and it should not take 64 gigs of ram to get a good framerate.
Игра прикольная но мало взаимодействие также нету того что хотелось как фильме хотелось бы по эксперементировать нету даже падфаендер и меню такое сибе даже нету настроек но кадры из фильма прикрльные но не осушетвляют желание и вроде всё. Оценка 4/10.
Nul à chier, passer votre chemin ça vaut mieux ;)
NO!!
Too bad... This is probably my favorite BOOK of all time. The movie was ok but poor casting and pacing made it underwhelming. The book is just a different animal - its a light hearted techno thriller vs the action movie Hollywood tried to produce. And this "experience" is nothing but a 10 minute advertisement / summary of the movie. Basically its a handful of key moments of the story with 2D clips and 4 (give or take based on definition of game) interactive mini games in between. That being said, you feel mostly disappointed because of the potential this could have had. The visuals clearly had some effort go into them and, for a few seconds (literally), in a few key spots it actually does enhance the overall book if you are a fan. The opening walking to the door is neat, first mini game (sorting) is terrible but the room itself was well done, crane mini game was ok, driving was actually kind of fun, ship thing was ok and the space part was pretty fun. All very restricted and all very, very short. But the designing of the rooms / environments were good enough that i just wondered why bother when they really did nothing with it. I typically don't mind spending a few dollars even if its for a short experience but solely because i felt this was nothing more than an advertisement for the movie i am refunding since i already paid for the movie. They could take out the cut scenes and add a Steam Home environment size camp with access to the different mini games (and even logs) and a few basic things to explore and then i would have kept it as a short "The Martian Experience". But in its current form...
Let me just start by saying I'm a huge fan of The Martian book and movie. This is a pretty terrible VR experience all in all. There are even some inconsistenies with the VR Experience's "story" as compared to the movie and the book. There are 3-4 interactive portions where you push buttons, throw things and "Iron Man" your way to the Hermes at the end of the movie. The rest is video clips from the movie randomly appearing in front of you. This is not worth any amount of money even if you're a huge fan. It should have been a free promotional packin with the movie or just free period. I can't even recommend getting it on sale unless it's free.
Great simulation with amazing graphics. The sim is short, about 20 min, but worth it. Great for introducing VR to your friends and family. I will play again if only for the great VR immersion experience.
