moderate quality with a few problems. I have played Bubmarine for 1.5 hours or less. Graphics are simple, but the game feels somewhat OK. Steering however doesn't fully work. In Bubmarine player performs missions in an order, and there seems to be something like a story. In a mission there often a lot of space around, but there are boundaries, and the game usually doesn't provide reasons to explore, which is why the game ends up being played as if driving through a single tunnel.
Turning the sub left and right will probably cause me see nightmares after my first experience. The sub turns very slowly and often in the wrong direction, and there seems to be very little rule about it, except that turning hand right while holding the steering wheel is most likely to slowly turn the sub left, and turning hand to left increases probability of turning slowly right, but sometimes the only option is to wait until the sub has turned entirely around the wrong way (left), which is inconvenient when being under an attack. Also the game could be more pleasant with a clear audible English voice instead of repeated nonsense with a clear but fast text to read. Controlling the sub is done by handling virtual controls by virtual hands instead of physical buttons in controller, and I like that, despite it being more difficult than using the physical buttons would be.
Good but with flaws! Nice game but there is one annoying bug, whenever I take off the headset and put it back on, the right robotic arm switches controls to headset direction. From hand control to headset movement. Can the devs chime in and tell me why does this happen?
Absolutely wonderful game! Fun to play, easy to play, and great looking as well. It's a wonderful underwater experience with gameplay. Controls are simple and intuitive. This is not a violent "shooter" or anything serious at all, but is for "children" of all ages. I highly recommend it!
I think I found a Gem! 1st Impressions Video with Commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmQKHMoussM (Please Note: Links might not work from Oculus so please search YouTube for 'Paradise Decay VR Bubmarine')
Initial Thoughts: I found this little gem whilst browsing the Oculus library. It's been out for quite a while so I don't know how I missed it. If you like underwater experiences in VR, you'll probably enjoy this. It's got a lot of variety, charm and is really well done.
