Holopoint: Chronicle is a skill based game where progression is based on player skill and training rather than unlocks. Like many arcade style games, personal progress and a high score is the goal. There are multiple areas to explore, each offering original targets and waves to progress through. Progression quickly becomes difficult and requires an active mindset. Holopoint is designed so that only a few determined archers will complete the last wave.
WARNING: THIS GAME GETS INTENSE. REMEMBER TO BREATH AND TAKE BREAKS.
WARNING: This game may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

Does not load. Crashes at 90%.
I stick with the old Holopoint.
Dear developer: please fix this game. The gaming world in 2023 still need the Holopoint experience.
Loved the first Holopoint, but I've never been able to get this one work. It just hangs forever loading the first level. It's been abandoned by the dev, so no hope of ever getting it fixed either.
It's probably a fun game if it happens to work on your system, so maybe give it a try and test it out and if it doesn't work, refund it. I wish I could refund it, but I waited too long hoping for a fix.
Plenty of bugs. I was barely able to get into the main menu but then the game crashes...
I want to like this so bad, but I can't recommend it until they fix the ENORMOUS performance issues. I thought it was my aging gaming computer [Ryzen 1700/GTX 1070], but I've built a new one recently for various reasons. Now, on a Ryzen 5700G/32GB RAM/RTX 3070TI system, it loads incredibly slowly or not at all, and I never got the chance to even see a level of gameplay.
does not work with current nvidia drivers.
Does not work.
The game loads fine into the "home base".
When I interact with the map to try to begin to play it gets stuck on a loading screen.
There is something visible on the screen of my PC but nothing in the HMD.
It was fun while it lasted. Abandonware. Move it along, fellas.
Valve Index and HTC Vive, the game crashes upon trying to load a level as others mentioned. Its not working as advertised/not working at all. Should be fixed or removed from Index and Vive compatibility.
As a person who loves the original Holopoint, it pains me to say that you should not buy this game in its current state. From what I can tell, the game has been abandoned completely by the devs. They were super active for the first few weeks, and then out of nowhere everything just stopped. No idea if something happened, but right now the game has a lot of large issues that make it not worth your time. The main issues are:
- Performance issues up the wazoo, the last area is a stutterey mess, and I have a 1080TI and play most other games at 1.5-2 supersampling. Even at low graphics and lower supersampling, the performance is quite bad for a game that's so simple.
- Weird hitboxes. Some of the levels have spots where your arrows will ricochet off nothing.
- Weird UI, it's quite confusing until you know what's going on.
- Poor index support.
If the devs update the game and fix some of these issues, I'll happily change the review, but as is it seems like the game is abandoned.
This is the ultimate VR workout game. Play like an hour of this every day. Worked great for me.
+Story mode version of Holopoint
+Good bow Physics
+Intense
+Story mode adds a little to the original that the original was lacking
-Pricey for basically the same game
3/5
I'm not entirely sure if it's better or worse than the original, It's just about the same game, EXCEPT it adds in a story mode which is a little more flavor to the game. I'd definitely get it, maybe instead of the original, however I still prefer the original.

Unpolished and unreasonably difficult.
For context, I've played dozens of hours of the original Holopoint, and beaten every other VR Archery game in existence; In Death, The Lab: Archery, Elven Assassin, RPO Beta: Gauntlet, Skyrim, Apex Construct, etc. I've also beaten physical games like Thrill of the Fight and Beat Saber on expert mode. I'm no slouch. I'm in relatively good physical condition, but this game, like the first, is simply not possible for me to beat.
The game is really fun for the first 10 levels, which takes only a few minutes. I spent the remaining 30 minutes trying to beat level 11-?. You can only 'save' after an arbitrary number of levels that's never stated anywhere, so the few times I beat level 11 and progressed to 12 and 13, I had to start all over again.
After the first few minutes playing the game, it's a frustrating grindfest as opposed to an interesting experience. Worse, the more interesting areas are locked behind the ability to beat this game. I'm fine with difficult games that require hours to beat, but that's simply not possible to do with such a physically intense game. Even an extremely well conditioned athlete couldn't play this for more than an hour a day, as playing this is similar to sprinting. I LIKE the physical aspect of this game, but I don't like that I'm forced to replay lvl 11 over and over for eternity.
Without some sort of difficulty settings, this game is DOA. I can't imagine how tiny the number of players who can actually beat the first stage is. Even if this were fixed, the game is plagued by lots of other issues.
The game can barely run on most VR machines. It takes an incredibly amount of resources, and takes up to 5 minutes just to boot, then another few minutes to load each level.
Sound-wise, this is a step backwards from the original. The audio is way too loud, to the point where it would probably be easier to play deaf. This is unfortunate as the game is supposed to be augmented by audio cues.
Ultimately the game has so many issues, and I can't recommend it to anyone. I refunded it, and won't purchase another game from this studio until they decide to make a game I can actually play for more than 10 minutes before becoming pointless.
I was thinking about buying the original Holopoint, but saw this game was coming out so I waited on it. After buying and playing this game, I quickly realised many things:
1. This feels like an Early Access game. The game is very unintuitive. It took me a few minutes once I was in to figure out how the menus work. There's no tutorial or anything.
2. The game runs very poorly. It lags on my overclocked 1070, and some maps are so terribly optimized that they are unplayable.
3. The game never teaches you about new "enemies" (aka different 3D shapes) you encounter. They all do different things and it takes a lot of trial and error to learn what they do.
On top of this, the music sounds like it's from 2012.
Very disappointed with this game. It really feels like a cash grab sequel. I wouldn't recommend that you buy this unless it gets some much-needed updates.
Excellent workout and a lot of fun. I played the first one on release and enjoyed it a lot, but the pesky cable got in the way. I have the wireless adapter for the Vive and this game is on another level with the cord gone. I really enjoy the updated visuals and I plan to integrate this game into my daily workout routine.
This was a snap-buy for me because of how much I enjoyed the original. I'm happy to support the developers of one of my top VR games, but I'm still surprised that this wasn't a DLC to the original game. I can't recommend the original over this one because of the extra mechanics added to the new targets. Beyond that, it's the same game with different environments to divide up the various new targets. I can't ask for more than that from a DLC, but again this is not a DLC so I feel like there should've been something more to it to justify that. In my eyes, the developers have split one game in half. The new game leaves out great components that the original had, like a time attack mode and different kinds of targets and adds in content that couldve just been an update in the original. If this were my game i would try to make it as good as i can, and the new game is worth the pricetag of the original, but I hope to see the devs reintroduce the maps and game-modes that made the classic what it is.
Awesome! If you liked the first holopoint this one is great! It's a bit more challenging at first than the first version though, which is great. For a great gameplay experience I turned off the motion smoothing and lowered the application resolution to 80% (this can be done in SteamVR "settings" then"video"). This is the best workout game I own so far, even more of a workout than the original. It is very intense! I buy a lot of games just for the workout, but this one is just fun to play regardless. Thank you devs for making a great game!
Changing my review to negative. This is clearly abandonware and will be getting no performance or bug patches.
Worse than original Holopoint.
It's hard to enjoy a fast-paced archery game at sub 90 FPS.
Pros:
-More enemies.
-More areas.
Cons:
-Terrible performance. It couldn't run at 90 FPS with Vive Pro + i7-6700K + RTX 2080 (100% supersampling). After adjusting the supersampling to around 70% and the quality to medium, it could barely run at 90 FPS (with Motion Smoothing off).
-Terrible UI. It's hard to understand the icons.
-It's hard to see enemies in some bright areas.
-The "spotlights" are too conspicuous and a bit unsightly.
Disable Motion Smoothing ! Game runs great on my GTX 1080 I7-7700k after I disabled this setting. Visually game looks better and physics are better. Def worth every penny if you want to harness your inner Legolas.
Compared to the original Holopoint
+It's much prettier
+More areas
+No drawing arrows from quiver
+Active and responsive dev
-Missing options available in Holopoint, such as 1-handed aiming. In fact, there doesn't seem to be an options menu at all. (1-handed aiming added in beta)
-Doesn't run as well on [email protected] & 2080Ti
-I dislike the music
