Overview

Rogan: The Thief in the Castle is a visually striking new Oculus Rift and HTC Vive game on the way from Smilegate Entertainment. As the name suggests, the game's set within the confines of a giant castle. You have the misfortune of visiting the castle on the day of its Lord's murder, putting guards on high alert. Instead of deciding to swipe loot for yourself, then, you set about trying to prove the innocence of one of the crime’s most likely suspects.

TESTED WITH HTC VIVE (Room-scale) I really wanted to like this game but, eh...

Is it...

I honestly don't know why so many people liked this game. The gameplay is boring. The story doesn't make sense. I almost fell asleep. You're supposed to walk slow and whack guards with a stick or sneak around. There's marked dark areas and you cover your eyes to get into "thief vision". So hide in dark corners, watch patrols, and walk slow. Rinse and...

PROS- + Graphics + Motion capture + Voice acting + Story + Quick patch releases CONS- - Repetitive gameplay - Succession of short levels - Can't run or escape if caught - Can interaction with so few objects, for a VR game There is efforts made into this game. But it's boring. Still, decided not to ask for a refund to support the devs. Hopefully they'll...
