    What a disappointment! The reviews were all so good. I've had a PSVR and Vive for almost a year, and this is my first Rift game, so maybe that is why I am underwhelmed. Some VR movement used to make me motion sick, but I got my VR legs some time ago. Yet this game is only playable for 10 minutes at a time. There is no way to teleport around. You have to move through the air, in zeroWhat a disappointment! The reviews were all so good. I've had a PSVR and Vive for almost a year, and this is my first Rift game, so maybe that is why I am underwhelmed. Some VR movement used to make me motion sick, but I got my VR legs some time ago. Yet this game is only playable for 10 minutes at a time. There is no way to teleport around. You have to move through the air, in zero gravity, by pushing off of objects or using little thrusters. There is no way to stay still easily. You float to the ceiling or sink into the ground, often through table and other objects in the room. It is like a bad tech demo. You have to make dialogue choices with multiple button pushes very quickly sometimes, which is hard to do when you're grabbing a wall so you don't sink through the floor or bob around in a vomit-inducing manner. I'm used to Steam's generous return policy for lemons like this. I hope Oculus has a similar policy or I might not be trying any more exclusives that don't have demos.
    Apparently the multiplayer part is free. If it is, I would recommend trying that out before buying the solo mission. If you can handle the horrible movement quirks, you might enjoy this game.    … Expand

    I played the game on quest 2 though oculus link and I enjoyed it. It was cool being able to float in space and doing through vr was impressive. It was a little slow at times but I enjoyed the story.

    Lone Echo is therefore the killer application for Oculus Rift that many were waiting for, as well as one of the few truly Triple A products for Virtual Reality currently available on the market.

    Simply put, Lone Echo is the best VR game ever released. An immersive experience with fantastic mechanics, and well-written that makes us almost forget we're in a video game. Brilliant!
