    The game start of slowly but it leaves you wanting more, the only downside is no options to control speed of your movement and setting for smooth camera rotation, it would be useful for people who dont suffer from motion sickness as sometimes walking is just too sloooowww

    The reviews have been overly harsh. 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.

    The worst VR game I've tried so far. I realized why they called the game Loading Human when it had keep loading after each brief sequence. The tutorial, voice acting, and graphics were pretty bad. After the incredibly frustrating tutorial and incredibly dry and boring intro, I couldn't take anymore.

    The reviewers are being Overly negative on this game. While the controls are a bit clunky at times. Its not horrible when you get used to them. The game is not bad. Not sure i would pay $40 for the game but $15-20 isnt bad. Its an interesting way to control in vr. I have it for psvr, personally i think they did a decent job with using only two moves and no nav for moving around. WhileThe reviewers are being Overly negative on this game.

Its an interesting way to control in vr. I have it for psvr, personally i think they did a decent job with using only two moves and no nav for moving around. While your walking you can vear off sightly to the left and right, using your head like rigs, Robinson and the like. This makes controlling a little better. The game almost feels like heavy rain with move controls on the ps3. While the control are a lil more simple, they work fine.

    I do agree the game could be alot better with more control refinement. Just allowing you to snap to where your looking would make this game way better in the control department. The way its been reviewed it makes you think its unplayable, which is not the case. If you want ds4 control and are leary of learning new mechanics then you might not want to play this game. Personally thats what makes vr exciting.

    This is not a run and gun game, so those that complain on the speed of movement is not very fair. I personally think the movement speed is ok. It does slow down if you are looking left or right and you cannot run. But its not as slow as some have made it out to be. Graphics are ok, would be nice to see a pro patch but They do the job. The arms looks good but could use a little work on the animations. As they seem a little wonky sometimes. There are some cool graphical moments, So far i have been entertained.

    Also the voice acting is fine. Those who rip on it are just super anal. The voice acting sucked on the nes too! Also the puzzles are not as bad as they say, while they are not on the level of statik, they are good enough. The data loss sections are interesting puzzles and offer a new gameplay not seen much. The fact that its a 4-6 hr game with a story is nice, as there is not that much in that dept on psvr.

    Don't let the negative reviews stop you from playing this. If you can get a decent price as i did, its a decent game.    … Expand

    I didn't make it all the way through this tbh. I have to agree with everyone that complained about the controls and movement here. Not a compelling enough story to overlook these issues.

    This game was an early step into VR gaming. 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.

    There are too many niggles here to make it a must-have. [Christmas 2016, p.96]

    Loading Human has a lot of problems in terms of gameplay and controls but it's a nice try for a new adventure specifically designed for VR.

    Loading Human is definitely worth a look, as it does offer something unique and the story is certainly intriguing, but it remains a long way from being a must-buy – at least until its inexplicably unreasonable price drops.
