Vox Machinae reviews

Early Access Review I don't often write Reviews, but if a VR game excites me as Vox does, then I reach for the Keyboard. At First, I was a little skeptical about whether you could map the Controls in the VR sensibly by virtually operating the control Options exclusively with the Controllers. What can I say that Vox team has done great Work here. The MECH CAN be controlled perfectly without FORE etc., only with the two Controllers (htc Controller and MS Controller of the SO +). Gamepad, Mouse & Keyboard are also possible, by the way. For me, though, that would be an Immersion Braker;) The Target Capture is done by looking in the direction in question and the Crosshairs are moving along. The Triggers left and right trigger the two installed Weapon systems (Lasers, Rockets, Canon, Etc.). In addition, you have the Option to use a Sniperffunction. Here the Targeting happens via the right Touchpad (or the Tumbstick) and you get the Target Displayed on an extended Monitor in the Cockpit. Sniperffunction Can therefore best be used only if you stand still. The Mech is controlled via a virtual Thrust Controller on the left. There are four Speeds forward And two Backwards Available. You have to grab the Thrust controller in the VR and push it into the appropriate Position. Here he snaps in and the Mech moves at the set speed. Next to the Thrust Controller is also the Control for the Thrust Jets. You can also grab it with the left Controller and then pull it (Thrust up), push it (Mech sinks), push forward (Thrust forward) or push to one (Thrust to the back). The Mech Can finally be "steered" with the Stick on the right. This indicates the Direction when both Running and Flying. At the same time, the upper Head area above the Torso can be Rotated by the Direction of view, so that you can look To the left, for example (Target targets!) but Run forward or Fly. There are different Mechs that can also be individually equipped with Weapon systems. The different Types have different Strengths and Weaknesses. One Guy is particularly well designed for the short Flight, another Mech rams his Opponents broken if Needed etc. The different Terrains are Also beautifully and varied. There are different Types Of matches available. A Capture the Flag and Deathmatches are possible to play, for example. But Everything plays out as a PvP Online. Each Match lasts 15 Minutes and in the End the winners of the Round are named and the Pilots with the most striking Statistics are displayed (longest Survival time, most Shots, etc.). You can Still Wish for the Game feature like a Leaderboard etc. but I'm sure Space Bullet is still diligently post-patched here. However, The Game is already highly recommended. The Performance of the Game is also great. I Played Vox with the Samsung Odyssey + and the Pimax 5k+ (normal View, PiTool on 1 and Steam Supersampling on 150%).
