The game looks pretty (as it should, seeing as it's UE5), but I only managed to get through the first section, until the storm, since then I realized there was no obvious way to pause the game. Finally, the R button seemed to produce a pause menu, although I'm not sure seeing as pressing T activated some other campaign, for Spirit I suppose. During the opening cutscene for that even R didn't do anything and I had to leave the game running like this as I was in a hurry for lunch. By the time I came back, the game had mysteriously shut down on its own. I tried opening it again, but gave up when I realized there was, once again, no way to skip the intro which goes on forever.
I'm sorry, man, I'd like to play on, but there's no way I'm getting through this thing each time upon start-up, that is even assuming I can actually load a savestate later down the road, which I don't know. A cutscene-skipping button is an absolute and unconditional must. Also, Escape should bring up the pause menu at all times, this is a 40-year-old convention that every commercially released title subscribes to. On an unrelated note, I couldn't unpack the .rar file without getting this error:
It worked fine via 7-Zip though.
Finally, a word about the gameplay. What I've seen is rather rudimentary, just hopping from flagpole to flagpole while selecting a proper path to the target. Perhaps later it becomes more varied and challenging. You could probably ease player frustration by bringing the camera closer to the rover: it would make it look like you're rolling faster than you actually are.
I would like to re-check it once you've addressed the issue of no cutscene-skipping functionality which to me renders the game virtually unplayable at the moment.
This is an overwhelmingly beautiful graphic depiction of Opportunity's mission to Mars. I was very impressed. I had seen a documentary about Curiosity before, but being able to actually operate it as a game made it even more immersive. I thought I am not the type of person who gets emotionally involved with robots, but it was heartbreaking to see Opportunity's solar cells become unusable due to a sandstorm. At any rate, thank you very much for your wonderful work!
And I don't know why, but for some reason Steam VR started up when I played this piece. When I put on the headset, it seemed to start up in VR mode, but the screen remained dark. I'm sure it's probably a bug in my equipment or something, but just thought I'd let you know.
Beautiful experience. The part where Opportunity has to climb up the crater is challenging. Well-chosen atmosphere and music. Definitely a beautiful tribute to the most famous rover in history. Thank you.

Have no word to describe this game. Is amazing!!! Here is a gameplay (Spanish). Hope you like it!
Nice very good game well done!
My next youtube video!
