    PSone graphics on VR. Great. I've worked as videogames reviewer in many Spanish magazines for 10 years, so I have plenty of experience as a videogames critic. Having that as introduction, I can say Megaton Rainfall is an epic disappointment.

    I think the whole disaster comes from a wrong design pipeline. Instead of working the bigger scenarios and then the detailed ones according to    PSone graphics on VR. Great.

    I think the whole disaster comes from a wrong design pipeline. Instead of working the bigger scenarios and then the detailed ones according to those, they've done just the opposite. And of course, the result is absolutely terrible. Graphics are almost OK when you are in a city (almost) and they are irrelevant when you are in the deep space; but everything in between is... I can't find the proper word to describe it. Those "intermediate graphics" seem to be a PSone or PS2 videogame at best. No, actually there were many games in PSone with better graphics than this crap.

    Controls are not terrible, but they should be much, much better in order to make you feel the superhero you're supposed to be. You can see your hands in the air but it's not PlayStation Move compatible? Seriously?

    The lack of colors and details makes the whole experience repetitive and boring. The enemies design is completely stupid: point at the red dot. Always. No matter what enemy it is: the red dot is the target. That's it. Come on...

    After several repetitive stages played, you find out Megaton Rainfall it's a complete waste of time. It doesn't worth the time, the money or the effort. The idea was great. The game is rubbish.    … Expand

    I expected a cheap Marvel movie rip-off, but what I got was some kind of perverted Google Earth browser game with Space Invaders on top, minus the satellite imagery and engaging gameplay.

    Megaton Rainfall tries to pass a god-like experience which fails even on VR. It got the right base with community eager to super-hero games that will break boundaries. Despite all that, The game isn't fun enough, it just left me with a huge VR-sickness and tied-up cables.

    Megaton Rainfall is the kind of superhero game I’ve always wanted to play, and even if it’s not perfect, it’s still an interesting step in the right direction for the genre as a whole.

    Towards the end of the game, the mechanics finally start playing with its stratospheric scale. It’s here that Megaton Rainfall’s potential becomes more apparent. The scored aspects are largely botched by dull and awkward mechanics, but the sandbox portion is incredible. If you just do what this god tells you, you’re in for a mediocre experience. But when you learn where the real fun is, it becomes something more. Hopefully, we’ll one day see a game like this that uses its scale as part of the scored challenge. Until then, pick this up when you see it on sale. The feeling it gives you is just too special to miss.
