Gra wygląda na wciągającą, ciekawe czy tak jest?


........................................Moderator comment.......................................

Za tę cenę jest w porządku. Grałem przez chwilę i stwierdziłem, że jest wystarczająco przyzwoite. Grafika jest dość standardową Unity, która jest darmowym silnikiem gry z mnóstwem darmowych zasobów (choć lepsze zasoby kosztują pieniądze, a darmowy charakter tego silnika gry zrodził wiele tanich gier.) Jedynym minusem jest grafika, która wygląda jak gry sprzed piętnastu lat, a mimo to gra jest w porządku i możliwa do zagrania. p.s. Mam nadzieję, że ten przetłumaczony przez Google komentarz jest zrozumiały?

Can yu play without the VR guismo. other VR will work with normal steam.

No, it says on Steam that you require either a HTC Vive or Oculus Rift head set to play this game. I installed the game, but as I didn't have a head set connected, it wouldn't play.

The Game:
How strong are your VR legs? If your answer was “pretty strong” – then let me tell you, that’s what I thought too. However, I felt kind of like a sailor walking on dry land again after three months on a cargo ship in Runaway VR. This game is an endless runner much like Temple Run but this time you actually get to be in the game, not just controlling it.
I would have loved a little bit more control in this game since Runaway VR didn’t let me decide where or how fast I’m going but simply launched me forward on an endless narrow path and I was on my way. Now, in general gaming circles this would be fine, but in VR one’s knees tend to get a little wobbly if you’re standing completely still but it feels like you’re moving forward at a relatively fast pace. Then there are also the times when the ground suddenly disappeared and I found myself falling from a ledge onto the path below. While this would generally be fine in flat-screen games, in VR it made me a bit disoriented. Albeit only for a second or two.
maxresdefault3
Luckily I wasn’t just on a track with absolutely no control in Runaway VR. The game took my position on the path into account based on my headset movement. So while playing the game I basically looked like Zoidberg as I moved quickly from side to side, trying to collect all the coins on the path.
There are quite a few things to dodge and duck under too as the game moves you ever forward. Plus if I veered just a little bit too much off of the path then I fell and had to begin from scratch. It’s a bit frustrating but also makes sense since this game is all about seeing how far you can go and the replayability would be diminished severely had there been certain points in the level where you could start over from. Plus I really started getting competitive – wanting to see if I could get farther and farther each time.

As for the levels, there are three locations in the game. Each works basically the same but you have to play the jungle first to be able to unlock the other two, which are desert and castle-themed maps. The environments on these maps were very basic but since I couldn’t really look around while running on the path, it made sense. Plus the environmental design on and around the path was clearly what the developers focused on and I quite liked the overall aesthetic on the maps.
Runaway VR doesn’t let you make use of the controllers when you’re running through the maps. The only times a controller is needed is when you’re interacting with the menu, for instance if you want to check out the scoreboard or buy power-ups that help you get through the game. These power-ups include gaining more money, being momentarily invincible and starting again from a certain point. I especially liked the last one since I tended to fall off of the path a lot.

So besides the initial feeling of disorientation as the game moved forward but I did not, I really enjoyed Runaway VR. I can definitely see myself getting addicted to this game simply because I started getting really competitive while playing it. If you’re a very competitive player, or really like endless runners like Temple Run, then make sure to give Runaway VR a try.

Conclusion:
I didn't get a copy of the game (got it Thursday evening) in time to borrow a head set, so cannot give a conclusion. After watching the videos, I would say it looks like a great running game. So, if you are into that genre of game, this is one to get if you've got a VR headset, or are planning to buy one soon.
Suggestions:
If you win a key and once you've had an opportunity to play Runaway VR ‘PLEASE’ take a few moments to give some positive or negative feedback; for example, what you liked or disliked about the game, or how it could be improved. If you don't like the genre at all, please explain why and if any, what improvements would change your mind?

This will open up the appropriate page for you to post your comment or review (Dec 18th 2017). Alternatively, you can Google the name of the game and include Gamegiveawayoftheday in the search. This should give you a list of links to when this game was given away.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developers ‘Panoramik’ for giving away yet another of their games. We've had hundreds of thousands of keys from Panoramix over the last 20 months since Steam keys first appeared here. Also a big thanks to the game giveaway team, for securing other ways to get free games.


Useful Information not related to today's game giveaway:
If ’..........’ doesn't interest you, but you still hanker for something new to play, you'll find details of some game deals whether they be sale items, indie bundles or games being given away for free HERE (I've not updated the thread in a while, but most of the links still take you to the latest deals).
The rest of the information that used to be posted in the game review can be found in the forums HERE. Finally, check out Delenns threads for details of other free games and offers HERE and elsewhere in the game discussion forums HERE, (usually on the first page of the game discussion forums).
The latest Origin giveaway is Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition. which you can find HERE. If you love Tower Defense, or arcade games in general, this is a fabulous game. It's not like your typical TD game. It's easy to pick up, but hard to stop playing. A fantastic and well balanced arcade game, with brilliant game play and in my opinion one of the best of its kind. You can see a couple of game play videos HERE and HERE. Ubisoft are also still offering Assassins Creed IV, World in conflict and now Watch Dogs, plus GOG (Gppd Old Games)are offering another game free.
