I have only played about 2 of the "memories" in Loading Human. It is pretty immersive, and really neat to walk around and interact with stuff. The controls take some getting used to, but I didn't find any issues using the Move controllers to navigate an open world after some time to practice the controls. It has a nice tutorial when you start explaining the controls. The graphics are decent, but you get quite a bit of shimmering and jaggies, as been the case with many launch VR titles. One area has you walking outside, along a snowy path, and that was really cool. Loading Human is basically, at this early stage, a walking simulator with interactive activities, and I am totally fine with that.
However, the movement effected me with a bit of motion sickness when I started. Didn't get anything really bad in Driveclub (once changing to Bumper Cam) Rigs, or Eve, but Loading Human takes some time to develop the ole VR Legs. It is just weird feeling. YOu have a torso, arms, legs. It kinda feels like you are floating above the ground when you move around (since you dont see your legs or anything when looking forward). The motion sickness would come as I walked up to something and then stopped, or when I was stopped and started walking. However, I basically played one memory the first night, a second memory the second night, and that is the way to do it really.
When you get to a save point, it shows a disc on the screen to show it is saving. Normally, when I get to a save point or load a new level, or "memory" I just quit the game and try something new. It is really a neat experience, but everything is at this launch stage.
I dont think they game is really worth $39.99 (especially since it is episodic), but they sell it used at Gamestop for $29.99, and I had a $10 preowned certificate that got it down to $19.99. I thought that was a very fair price and I have no buyers remorse for the game at $20. It is really the only single player open world movement game I have played at this point (I will be trying VEV tonight) and I was looking for a single player story driven game.
As for the story in Loading Human, I have no idea really what is going on. I understand the premise of the story completely, but the funny thing is, every time the A.I. voice is talking to me and stuff, I am always looking around and screwing with stuff, I forget to pay attention to what they are playing. The immersion of being in that world, looking around at everything, distracts me from focusing on the story, lol. It isn't a problem exclusively with Loading Human, just my attention wanders when I can pick stuff up, look out windows, etc. I am sure I am going to have this problem with any story drive VR game at this early stage. I am still kinda like a kid, looking around, grabbing stuff, than listening to what is going on or what I should be doing.
