The Shore VR

very buggy and frame rate problems

Definitely had some flaws, but I did enjoy it.

I don't think this game should have been released in this state. As a VR title it barely functions. The constant stuttering makes it unplayable. However, let me include that the non-VR version of this game is phenomenal as stated in my review for it. The story, the look (not just graphics wise but the absolute horror and insignificance that every Lovecraftian creature makes you feel), and the fact that it is not just a spooky walking simulator like alot of recent horror releases such as Amnesia: Rebirth. All of those are positive aspects of the non-vr version of this game. To restate what I said at the beginning of this review, the developer's choice to put this game into vr as poorly implemented as it is saddens me and ruins a truly great game. However I will end this review by saying I may stay away from VR games from this developer for the foreseeable future but as long as they keep releasing more Lovecraftian horror games like The Shore, I will keep buying them and playing them. I already have the next title they're working on on my wishlist and I plan to buy and play it. So while this was a negative review for this VR port, keep up the good work Ares Dragonis and I'd love to continue to support you and the games you create in the future.

y'know I've wanted something like this for a while now. A lovecraftian horror VR game. If the game ran well, and the VR controls weren't janky as hell, Then I could see this working real well. Like... if it was built in source 2 or something, now thats a game I'd pay good money for.

how do you release something like this and think it is okay, the turning is hot garbage, you randomly float, and it stutters like crazy. do not buy.

Tested it again after over half of a year and it's still a technical mess visually and control wise. Sadly the devs seems to have abandon the project and it feels like he got upset by the critics which were postet on the Steam discussion beforehand so give feedback. Instead there is a new non vr project that is worked on instead of fixing existing projects.

Cool concept, executed poorly.
