Great concept, fun, room for improvement
This is a fun, addictive little game. It's definitely worth the price to support the developers. It's neat to be thrown into a foreign location and try to figure out where you are just by examining the things around you. That said, I hope the developers are continuing to work on this because it has a lot more potential. Here are some thoughts/issues I had: - The controls aren't the most intuitive, and navigating can be a bit tricky. For example, moving on the map is challenging if you don't initially zoom in on the location you wanted. It might be easier if one thumbstick controlled the zoom and the other let you move up/down/left/right. Also, it would be nice to hit a controller button to make the map appear instead of having to click something in VR. I'd suggest checking out Wander to see how their controls are set up, because that feels more intuitive. - The locations repeat too often. Eventually it becomes a game of "what do you remember?" instead of, "can you figure out where this is?" because the same places keep coming up, which ruins the fun. It would be nice to add a LOT more locations and save the "seen places" so they don't repeat. - Multiplayer (synchronous) would be an awesome idea - Let two people see the same location and each make a choice, then keep track of their scores to see who wins. For people with two headsets, it would be a great way to introduce beginners to VR. I hope this app keeps updating, because with the limited number of places it loses its fun after a while.
