Polynomial 2 - Universe of the Music reviews and comments

Translated by

Early Access Review My inattention-I was ruined! :(-the ability to upload your own music as a musical accompaniment... Repeat: "As a musical accompaniment" Play in VR, otherwise do not advise. Extremely boring and slow game.

Early Access Review Polynomial 2-is a visualizer music with a simple Cosmo shooter, but this combination makes the game incredible: Pros:-Great visuals and a lot of their settings-Support VR (but personally me and without VR well)-In the usual visualizer you b You just look at the picture, and here you can fly, spin, shoot (besides lasers also glow in time to music) Cons:-of Course The gameplay part could be longer and more varied, but in principle it is for the most part visualizer, not a shooter. Looking for updates 10 epilepsy out of 10

Product received for free Early Access Review "Polynomial 2"-an arcade space shooter in the first person, completely tied to the technology "VR". It works, of course, and without a proper helmet, but, I suspect, on the monitor, it is not so impressive in half. And I made a similar conclusion only because, in addition to admiring the cosmos in this game, in fact, nothing interesting-and not... Remember The Times of "Atari", when the graphics consisted of several squares, and most of the games, regardless of the content, took place in space, because except the stars there was nothing else to draw. Here, roughly, the same situation. The Gameplay is uncomplicated: there are a lot of hints that facilitate the passage, five types of shooting, temporary accelerators. Enemies with a different model of behavior, but everything is done visually abstract and simple, though colorful-neon. Unfortunately, I do not have a helmet, so the advantages of the game in the form of a visual style did not paint for me a boring and monotonous gameplay. Although I admit, space is very beautiful. A Lot of stars on the black sky, meteors, constellations and iridescent colors of the rainbow of the spiral pieces of cosmic dust. It really delights, especially in virtual reality, but, unfortunately, in addition to its own beauty, the game can not offer anything particularly interesting. In an hour it becomes deadly boring to do the same thing, and simply annoying when you have enemies, who from one shot take a quarter of health. They are Shot quickly, but take always quantity, and die not immediately, but only while your bullets before them got back. I honestly appreciate the whole visual series that presents what is happening, but to lure the player, in my opinion, you need something more. So I recommend this game only to those who have "VR" and everyone who really admires the cosmos. I guess the game is made exclusively for them...
