Downward Spiral: Horus Station changes
One week in to the launch – what do you think? Gives us you reviews. It has been a roller coaster ride for us. The response has been mostly positive, but we knew that Horus Station is a game that will divide opinions and we have seen clearly in our reviews from loving to loathing. So far we have 21 Steam user reviews on the store page of which 17 are positive and 4 negative, 9 curator opinions and scattered video and text reviews all over online media with Metacritic score of 74. Here are some positive highlights and constructive criticism for proper balance:
An incredible space VR game with interesting, realistic mechanics. If you're a VR user, and you love space games, then definitely check this one out.
I thoroughly recommend both this game (and the prequel) as they are quite obviously a labour of love and deserve all the support they can get from the VR-gaming community.
Horus Station is one of the best value VR games I've yet to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN2Kt9EZdFg
You float around pressing buttons and shooting drones. Moving mostly with a grappling hook. Graphics are PS2 quality. Not a $20 game. Better AI and more enemies could have made this game a lot better.
While the Zero-G is fun to play in, the gunplay is bad in VR because game developers can't into ironsights --
Huge thanks to everyone of these people playing the game and taking time to give us feedback. Good or bad; it is important to us. Kind words make us feel good and pointing out the flaws help us getting better. So keep the reviews and feedback coming! Do you agree with existing reviews? What do you think is missing in Horus Station and what do want to be added or fixed? Write us feedback here in the comments or in user reviews. If you liked the game, help us to get that pesky “Mixed review” up to “Positive”.
