Fun puzzle game, with interesting story line - was very enjoyable to play. Only downside is it was very short. I did get it on sale and was well worth the $3.89 price.

I am a big fan of Beat Saber, so I was admittedly a bit hesitant to try this. Lots of other VR rhythm games out there and most have fallen short - this one did not.

First, the music is a lot of fun - definitely enjoy the "celtic metal" vibe of many of the songs vs the EDM type music in other games. Second - the concept and the theme is really well done the more notes you hit and the more accurate, the faster/further your boat goes. I also really enjoy racing the "ghost ships" in solo mode - to be able to play against my best previous games especially is awesome.

While Beat Saber may remain my favorite VR rhythm game, there is definitely room in my library for Ragnarock as it is a close 2nd that is fun, challenging, competitive, rockin' game that is a nice change of pace.

Oh - and there is a growing user community doing custom songs as well - which adds to the long term play-ability and variety.

Bottom line - if you are thinking about it - buy it. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive for a reason :)

Played all the other games in the Room series, so had to try the VR version. The game itself is just as good as the originals but with VR it is pure awesome. Hope to see more in the future!

A great sequel to a great game. Love the story, the voice acting, the original music and most importantly the game play itself. Only complaint I would have is the same I have for any great puzzle game - I wish it was longer. Don't get me wrong - this isn't one of those VR puzzle games you will solve in 10 mins, I just really enjoy the game, the immersive atmosphere, etc. and want more of it! Highly recommend. Hopefully IEYTD3 isn't too far away :)

Early Access Review
Overall liking this game, and while in early access it's on the right track. The biggest thing I think needing improvement is the same thing many others have said - which is managing your food and water intake. In a typical day it feels you can eat like 4 fish, 3 mangoes, 2 watermelon, a potato, a pineapple, and anything else you can find just to keep up - not to mention about 10 cups of water which you have to desalinate.

Again, on the right track here, and the game is fun, just need to balance things out a bit because between shark attacks, seagulls attacking your farm plots, constant hunger and thirst, its hard to advance because you spend 95% of your time dealing with just surviving. Would love to see sliders allowing you to control individual things like: Hunger, Thirst, Seagulls, Sharks. Would be a better way for people to set the game where they want it for maximum enjoyment.

I am very impressed by this beatmap, and most in this new pack. I find it interesting how the maps have evolved since the original songs in the game. I think they flow much better, but are more challenging.

Early Access Review
I hestitated to buy this game, put it on my wish list saying "maybe when it goes on sale". Then my daughter was having some friends over and they wanted to try VR, so I bought the game figuring they would probably like it and give them another music game to try, as Audio Shield was a favorite. Then I tried it out and holy c%@p! This game is amazing and totally worth the $20US I paid for it.

I have had it a couple of days and have played every day until I was sweaty and out of breath. Fantastic VR experience, that is a lot of fun, and if you go for higher skill levels and good scores, a good workout too! Already found some mods, which are very impressive given the short amount of time this game has been out. Highly, highly, highly recommend this game. If you are thinking about it - stop thinking, buy it and play it - you will quickly understand what all the hype is about!

I find it hard to review this game. On one hand, the game I thought was great. I really liked the "James Bond type secret agent" spoof theme. The puzzles are fun and fit beautifully with the storyline. On the other hand, I am glad I got this on sale for $14.99 instead of the $24.99 regular price, because it is WAY too short for that price tag. Given the length of this game I think $7-10 is a better price point given once you solve the puzzles, which seems to take most 2-3 hours, its done.

Bottom line, IEYTD is a great game - fun puzzle solving in an immersive thematic environment, but give the limited number of puzzles, and the short duration of the game, I think it should be much less expensive than it is. So I recommend it, but if you do buy it, wait for it to be on sale.

Early Access Review
First off, love the game, and I am using a Samsung Odyssey Mixed Reality headset and controller - which isn't listed in the supported headsets, but works great. Controls all work and are where they should be.

The graphics in this game are, in my opinion, not phenominal, but definitely good enough to be a highly immersive experience putting you in a WWII era submarine. I bought a space ship SIM based on a highly popular sci-fi franchise the same day as this one, and while the graphics in that one are very nice and polished, I don't think it is anywhere near as fun as this game is.

What makes this game great, is the game itself. Piloting the sub, where you need to balance speed with stealth, watching the skies for planes when surfaced and your battery and O2 levels when submerged. Targeting and taking out objectives using the periscope and authentic feeling "computer" for acurate torpedo shots. Loading the torpedos into the tubes, which feels like the actual process, draining the tubes, unlocking and opening the hatch, sliding the new torpedo into the tube, closing, locking, flooding the tubes. Taking damage from mines, enemy torpedos, depth charges, or planes, then having to grab the welder to repair the leaks... with your other hand on the O2 tank or bilge pumps in case the water comes in too quick

Single player is good, and I end up running around like a crazy person trying to do everything that needs to be done to succeed. Multiplayer is a total blast. Surface, send one person up to the top deck to man the anti-aircraft gun, one stays below to pilot and take shots with the torpedos. Total blast - and I get flashbacks to some of the best parts of Das Boot or U-571 - even find myself saying "5 degrees down bubble" when changing the plane of the sub.

I do understand this is early access, but one costructive bit of feedback is it does need better tutorials. The ones in the game cover the basics, but it seems like they haven't kept up with the development of the game. There is a lot more to the game than the existing 3 tutorials cover. There should definitely be one for advanced targeting at the very least. That said, great game and looking forward to more hours of play time and future progress the developer makes.
