-Decent 3rd Person action/adventure game
-great cinematic experience running from the monster
-Linear game play
-Short game
This game is sick! I am prone to motion sickness but with this over the shoulder view I have zero problems. Games in this format would definitely boost VR sales because no one would have issues with this design. The game itself is very simple to play. The game play is very similar to God of War. There is massive potential here for future games and even many older games with this formula. This would be awesome as a first game for VR newbies. Highly recommended.
Game for around 1.5 hours. There are some bugs, but you it is playable, just do not try to jump to walls (once I jumped out of map and I could just restart game)
It is not a great game, but definitely it is a good experience worth the time.
Tomb Raider/Prince of Persia/3d Platformer turned into a linear walking simulator in VR. That can be neat. I was ambivalent about the experience, but could not really note anything negative about it until the ending segments. The game switches between letting your character be nimble and then taking all control from you, forcing you to be slow to fit its cinematic sequences. Some of the sequences aren't immediately intuitive, or flow well, with the haphazard change of what your character capability is, so you end up dying/failing and retrying the same sequences repetitively. Not enough good in the game to justify that frustration. I'd rather replay Hellblade.
Wow, a little surprised at the polish and care taken with this game. Graphically looks really nice, and has atmosphere by the bucketful. Controls work well, if a little basic. Combat could use a little more sophistication. but the story, pacing, and general gameplay are all produced with care.
But lets face it , the likely buyer is one who is curious about a third person VR game. In short its like controlling a well rendered action figure around creepy ruins. Not as polished or accomplished as Senuas Sacrifice in VR, but honestly its not far off. One of those steam bargains that somehow seems too cheap.
The game is good but super short. It took me 2 hours to beat, and it was great all the way through. So i was a bit disappointed when everything ended as i was hoping for more contents. However, i don't regret playing this. Just be aware.
Very atmospheric and the first time seeing the Minotaur is guaranteed to impress you. Gameplay is a bit simple and linear, practically on rails, but if you don't mind this then just grab your gamepad and go with the ride.... because it can be thrilling and with a lot of eye candy around you.
Looking for action? Probably not your game. Looking for replayability? Probably not your game. what this game delivers (although its age is showing) is a great cinematic experience. It's pretty linear, and the pace is moderate. The visuals (not in the technical sense) is quite impressive. The dark cavern scene and the first time you see the Minotaur is quite amazing. If you are into mythology and fantasy, this is the game to try. I got it on sale, so it was worth every penny ($2.99!!!)
A little bit Chronos, a little bit Senua, a little bit too short. Overall 4/5, can recommend as one of the few but fun 3rd person VR games.
Very nicely made. I am a fan of greek mythology and of these kind of third person VR games, so its win win for me.
I really wanted to like this game. I liked the ambiguously pre-industrial warrior, stranded in the halls of the gods, lost but himself dangerous... so very appealing. I've been craving a third person perspective for a while, and this looked promising. But I really wanted a third perspective on a violent video game. So I came into this hoping to get to one of those big monster fights, or maybe even some great fighting with minions first. But first...the long dramatic scene. And I love a dramatic scene in vr....but I don't like being forced to someone else's pace. My sense of drama may vary from theirs in terms of timing... thing is, I want to be in control of my character. So when it feels extremely forced in a linear path, AND slow, it starts to lose the charm.
Also, please, please find a way to let me change my camera position instead of having it jump randomly around?
+ Beautiful environment
+ High quality 3D models and textures
+ Authentic animations
+ Amazing atmosphere
+ Great voice acting
+ Innovative (3rd person VR does work pretty good if you do it correctly apparently)
+ Challenging and engaging combat system
+ AAA class interpretation of an old greek myth
+ Convincing AI
- Some passages are a little boring (climbing around)
- I experienced a few technical issues which froze the picture for a few seconds (very uncomfortable with VR)
- Didn't really push the limits with the combat system
- Ending was a little bit disappointing
But the negative points are nothing compared to the positive points. It was an amazing experience and I would love to see more games like that.
Games like this make we wish Steam had a thumbs sideways option. I wouldn't really recommend this game but I wouldn't say "don't ever play this game!" either. I give it thumbs up because I have a soft spot in my heart for small dev teams and indy games. You could tell they put some effort into the game and cared about it but it could defnitely use some more polish.
Don't buy this for 20 bucks. It is very not worth that imo. I got it on sale for like 5 bucks. It's maybe worth that but even after paying that much I feel "meh" about the game. It was okay. Some people it seems really enjoyed it based on people's reviews. Many comparing this to Chronos. I disagree. The only way this compares to Chronos is the camera style and the graphics. Similarities end there for me.
It's short. Like 1-2 hours short. At the end a minor hint is dropped that you should go play again but I had little interest to.

Theseus is a third-person game that blends stealth, platforming, and brawler mechanics. It has been developed exclusively for virtual reality, making it a more unique find amongst the endless shooters and first-person based releases thus far. Waking up alone in an unfamiliar place, you will guide a Roman soldier through a hostile and unforgiving labyrinth. At the very heart of this labyrinth lies a corrupted Minotaur, and while you must fight to escape the vicious cycle of death and rebirth, you must also save a mysterious woman named Ariadne.
The world of Theseus is beautifully rendered, and as such it looks phenomenal in a VR environment. It's a little strange at first, playing from a third-person point of view when we're so used to the total opposite. However, the game does show the growing potential for this medium of gaming. Sometimes we follow the protagonist from an over-the-shoulder perspective, where his head also moves along with ours as we scan the world around us, but most of the time we observe the action from a fixed camera angle. Think of it as a mix of old school God of War camera styles.
Throughout the 2 hour journey, new elements and control options are gradually unveiled. At first the game feels more like a walking simulator than anything else, but then the ability to light torches, fend off foes with them, battle with a sword, and sprint are introduced. As for the combat, it's not exceptionally gratifying, and there's only one enemy type present, but at least you can set them on fire with the torch. The platforming sections are exceptional, and the entire experience plays out as smooth as butter. With that said, the true heart of Theseus is its amazing atmosphere and attention to detail. All of the environments are highly captivating, and there are more than a few moments of sheer spine-tingling terror.
In the end, as much fun and as unique as Theseus is, you'll be hard pressed to buy it at the full, brutal price of $21.99 CAD since there's only a maximum of 2 hours of content. When it comes down to it, the game feels like a really solid, polished demo that's best hailed as the stepping stone to the interest and development of more third-person VR games. If you manage to grab it on sale for at least half off, you won't be disappointed. Keep in mind that there is no motion controller support, so a gamepad is a necessity.
Rating: 4.0/5.0 - Excellent, highly worth playing.

The resolution is too low (to all Devs: let US the gamer decide how much SS (supersampling) we want!!! goddamn...), textures are mostly low quality/resolution and to the end there were some weird, minor audio issues, BUT: I actually kinda dig this game!
Combat is quite fun (not terribly hard though), third person is done exceptionally well and fit right in "VR" and the music is top notch!
Quite suspenseful at times which goes well with this more dark version of Chronos (which is by far the better, more polished game).
Really good narrative and an interesting story. REALLY short though.
So: I think if you are into story and cinematic "experiences" AND the game is [b]on deep sale[b], get it and play it once. For a few bucks, it's really worth it imho.
I relly enjoyed this game. If you enjoyed Chronos you should definitely give this game a try. Admitedly it isn't as long as Chronos and the combat isn't as refined but it is very atmospheric, I wish more developers would make 3rd person VR games. This game along with Chronos definitely prove that not every VR game needs to be a wave shooter or a roomscale game. Sometimes it is good to just lean back with a controller and enjoy a game in VR.
Yes it is short so, but I didn't replay to get all the achievements or story elements. I didn't mind the length because my time is limited. The price is fair though (about $8 equivalent in my country).
I had a good time with this game. I enjoy a seated game from time to time, and this one has really nice graphics, and an interesting premise. It's short though, so maybe wait for a sale.
Pros:
- Exellent Graphics for an immersive VR experience
- Atmosphere
- Good character models
- Tense moments in which timing is the key to surviving
Cons:
- The combat mechanics are ok but the sword play doesn't feel gratifying
- May cause discomfort after a 1+ hour game session
Very similar to chronos. Has an annoying tendency to restrict movement, trying to make sure you don't rush through the cinematics, made the game very slow. Combat was sparse and not particularly fun. Very linear and required low input from the player. Graphics and atmosphere were great.
A solid 3rd Person action/adventure game. It's very similar to Chronos (only available on OH Currently), except it's a little more linear and a fair bit shorter.
The game has excellent visuals and sounds anda great use of particle effects and environmental lighting that really bring the game to life in VR.
I would say that it is "just barely" worth the asking price of $20 due to the game being so short. You may be better off waiting for a sale, but if you see it up for a around $10-$15 or just straight up don't care then I highly recommend it.
