    Very short. Extremely basic game mechanics. Dull storyline.

    If you're a fan of everything star wars you'll probably love this. If you're not, you may find this to be a very basic game that's not worth $8 for 45 minutes, IMO. Interactions are basic; Pull a thing and twist it so you can move to the next scene. I love a well-done story-focused game. But there's no depth here    Very short. Extremely basic game mechanics.

    Interactions are basic; Pull a thing and twist it so you can move to the next scene. I love a well-done story-focused game. But there's no depth here whatsoever. Most of the talking is done by your typical star wars sidekick droid character whose likeability is somewhere between Jar Jar Binks and C-3PO. There's not much interesting happening with the plot.

    Combat mechanics are very basic. You will be bored if you don't get excited by light sabers. The final battle seems to go on forever; It's the same baddies respawning four or five times and repeating the same sequence. When the fight does end you'll be surprised it's only 40 minutes in and that's the end.    … Expand

    The first time you see an eight foot Vader looming over you and booming the command "You should prove useful" you will likely feel a bit of intimidation as I did. The guy is practically mythological at this point.

    It’s actually quite hard, and has its own minor unlockables, which further justifies the already perfectly reasonable asking price.

    The first episode of Vader Immortal shows all the potential of this VR series: a new way to immerse in the Star Wars universe, perfectly inserted in its narrative canons. The interactive experience is very short but the level of immersion is incredible, far beyond what a simple 360-degree VR movie could ever do.

    It's hard to resist the dark side of the force... even if it's a short one. Vader Immortal Episode 1 last 45 minutes, and always leaves the feeling of being a collection of game mechanics used on other VR games (puzles, climb...). But the immersion and the atmosphere are so good that you probably won't mind.
