    I write this review with a fair bit of sadness. This can and should be a good title, and despite all the difficulty I had, the interesting premise of Loading Human kept drawing me back in. The story, true 360 degree movement and ability to manipulate almost every object in the space provide a cool experience — the mechanics are just too nauseating — literally. Only the most devoted players with iron stomachs might be able to suffer through in hopes of seeing light at the end of this virtual reality tunnel.

    The ideas behind Loading Human: Chapter 1 are exciting, but they don’t get to shine like they should due to a weird control scheme and ineffective acting.

    A cluttered mess that tries to pretend it is high-quality immersion. It’s a shame that developer Untold Games spent so much time reaching for the stars with its VR debut that they didn’t stop to nail the necessary fundamentals to a functional VR experience: when the very act of moving from point A to point B is a nauseating challenge, that would be the time to drop back down to Earth and back into the drawing board.

It's a good early vr game, the move controllers make it feel pretty good. The story is interesting and the graphics are good enough. I would give it a 6 or 7 without vr, but that pushers it up to an 8 because early vr developers shouldn't be penalized for going out on a limb with limited budgets as long as they are doing a real cd game and not just a cash grab.… Full Review »

Besides that the visuals, the gameplay, the world and character design as well as the story aren’t really good. All in all, it is a bad VR experience in 2020, which might was better back in 2017. Possibly this is the reason why there is no chapter two.… Full Review »
