Immersive FPS as it should be! Everything about this game is what a VR shooter should be in 2019! Graphically this is the smoothest shooter out there, even with the settings turned all the way up. With the exception of some of the text, everything else is super crispy with no watery or laggy effects. The controls are SNAPPY! And even though there's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to bow handling, once you get it, it's a real joy! This is what immersion should be: me not having to dink around with settings while achieving maximum quality. This title has this in spades!And like other reviewers say, the story is intriguing, with a nice balance of problem solving and action. I say problem solving because to me they are not exactly puzzles and if you pay attention the answers are given to you, detective style. Very engaing!I'm keeping my eye on Fast Travel Games.

A great game, just needs some bugs fixed. At its core, Apex Construct is a solidly written game with a great story and fun challenges. The bow draw is a little strange (you have to draw the bowstring to your nose instead of your cheek) which helps a novice aim but experienced archers may find this awkward. (Maybe there can be a setting for this?)For some people, the vignetting may be a godsend, as I find it reduces motion sickness dramatically. If you don't like it, you can turn it off.There are some bugs that need fixing. At times, entire rooms don't render, and this can lead to a couple of problems, as I have encountered at least once in each case...sometimes, it's just the textures that don't render, which means that wireframes and associated collision mapping is still in place. I have encountered a room in the caves where I seem to be walking and landing teleports on thin air, wondering whether the bots in the room are going to detect me, or whether I can land a shot on them instead of my arrow hitting thin air and alerting them to the noise. At other times, sometimes the collision systems don't work, and I walk into a partially rendered room, down past a ramp, and realize I've stepped through the floor on which the file cabinets (which have rendered) are resting.Another bug is in the motion system. Walking around works at times, but sometimes, often when walking and turning at the same time, the linear motion (left stick) seems to be rotated out of true, so that I end up walking sideways when pushing the stick fowards. A quick teleport fixes this problem, but it is quite the issue when it occurs in the heat of battle.Still, the game is great, and I suspect that gameplay will be more challenge against the enemies and less frustration with the glitches once these problems are fixed.
I tried but this is umplayable. I tried giving this game a chace because the developer appear to really care about it, but I can't allow other people to wate their money with this. there are to many problems. On one of the missions, dying can spawn you on an upper floor while the elevator is on a lower level. the only way to progress is to restart the mission, lose all your progress and try not to die next time. This is not a good/finished game. Sorry
AWESOME gameplay and story line... ...Though I question WHY it's effective to shoot a bow and arrow against robots (Okay, yes, they are ENERGY arrows). GREAT voice narration and BEAUTIFUL scenery, and I haven't even gotten through half the game yet! I do find that th ebow and arrow mechanics are not quite as smooth as, say, Keep Defending, but it works well enough that I'm not "aiming blind." Or maybe all those Keep Defending sessions trying to shoot enemies from high up while far away has made me a better bowman. Either way, I am loving my few trips through so far... Forgot to see if the save game states work, or are even in place, but I've had fun with what's here so far... Got it on sale and definitely don't regret the purchase...
Mid as Hell. Just lacking an overall sense of substance and polish. It's close to a good game, but everything is so repetitive and simple. The game just doesn't feel fully realised or cared for. For instance, the naming for higher graphics modes is still using hungarian notation for some of the presets. The game doesn't look very strinking visually, nor does the level design feel cohesive and properly planned. There is certainly good mechanics there, but it just doesn't work.
Pretty Good. The visuals and bow combat are pretty good, it feels nice and smooth and the enemy and world designs are cool. My only frustration with the bow was the fact that swapping arrows was too difficult to do quickly, especially as you can't hold open the shield while swapping arrows! This led to the underuse of an otherwise awesome mechanic. However, the interactivity of the world is pretty good, you can pick up and mess with many objects in the game, including dead robots after you shoot them! It's not HL:A but it definitely added substance to the game. The ending was a bit underwhelming though. Overall, I reccomend if you want a bow combat game with a nice sprinkling of exploration and visuals.

Loved the story. Nicely involved puzzle solving leveling shooter game. Once you find all the hidden secrets, the story mode has no real replay value. However, they do have Cygnia Cup which is an arcade style archery range in which you can try and get a higher score. The story actually took me several hours to complete and longer for the secrets, which were a bit frustrating to locate at times. Especially when you find out that some of them are in the zone, not the actual story point you select, but can only be found in a different story point in that same zone. There were a few bugs, one which prevented my story from progressing till I restarted the game, in which an item I needed was in a room that would not render. You can also teleport to some places that will take you out of the games map, but I found that kind of fun. Having the option to use smooth locomotion is nice, but the fact that you still have to use teleport on ladders and so many other multi level areas really messes with ya. Especially if you just wanted to walk off the ledge down a ladder.
I see from the replies on other reviews that the developers have taken feedback and I would have to agree with some others, that a save option is highly essential, especially with a family. Logging into a different Windows account just makes it even worse since they are probably watching you and just want to jump in and try it for themselves. I would love to see more of this world, as there is obviously more story to this from all of the terminals and clipboards around. Speaking of clipboards, the text isn’t lined up on some and seems to be floating off the paper.
Okay Game but Ridiculous Puzzles + Bugs. This game is just okay, and I would have probably given it a 4 stars if it was not for the hard puzzles and frequent bugs I encountered. Most of the "puzzles" are time-wasting because there is not a good enough hint or direction on what to do or where to go. It is not fun to constantly have to pop in and out of the headset to look up what to do. After mission 10 I just gave up because the game has become so infuriating that I just don't care anymore.
