Начало (5 минут) интересны, но потом... Просто бесконечные коридоры лабиринтов начинают мучить т.к. карты нет и не понятно совсем куда идти - можно только случайно пройти в правильном направлении (или возможно по правилам прохода лабиринта - иди касаясь стены). Душно, я даже до монстров не дошёл а уже лениво...
Темно - вроде это норма но когда нифига не видно в лабиринтах без карты - бесит люто. Именно лабиринтами без карты убили атмосферу, хорошие звуки и т.п. - просто становится на них пофигу - ибо ты заблудился... и это ПОСТОЯННО! нельзя так... это печально не советую.
Проблема одна - не понятно куда идти.. и это 90% игрового времени - это смерть для хоррора
Great game from Canada.
I particularly liked the last part of the game with the gems and laser puzzles.
The beginning is a bit slow and tedious especially the sewer/tunnel part.
Terrible controls. Only teleportation. No graphics settings. Unable to turn around. Can't play sitting down. There are no settings to change anything at all unless you want to add a heart rate monitor which of course everybody has & is super important to have as a setting. Was unable to teleport to the correct position after going through the 1st door to even continue battling with this game. I have no idea how other people were able to play it. I'd had enough after less than 10 mins.
bad Game
玩法有点单一，受伤不知道怎么恢复
Teleport only.
Il gioco non salva i progressi.
Ho inviato una richiesta di aiuto ai produttori ma mi hanno ignorato.
E' stata una gran perdita di tempo.
好
Had a good amount of scare tactic in the game. Graphics were decent. The ending, however, was horrible. Like they ran out of money or had nothing left in the creative department. That was a let down after a fun game.
Looks great, but the lack of proper movement options makes this a title strictly for VR novices only.
Reading the forums, the devs are frightened that we'll get sick. I'm not really sure how logical that is. It's like not providing joystick support for a flight sim in case a player puts it up his butt.
Absolutely plotless. Definitely not scary. No particular lore, no characters whatsoever. Annoying monsters. Two endings, both terribly unsatisfactory.
A couple of decent light-based puzzles are the only nice things in this game. Surely not enough to call the game itself good.
I like the game. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the controls, I use Oculus touch, but after a while it works fine. The game starts in a bit dark and depressing area and stays like that for the first few levels. Suddenly the character of the game changes dramatically and becomes really nice. The views are stunning, and the puzzles nice.
Definitely worth the money.
非常好玩， 十分精良的迷宫解谜，还有怪物追逐
my friend he worked on this game he is a very nice tall man sometimes he will eat the low quality bologna and kraft dinner eat it together
impossibilité de configurer les touche clavier !!!!!
There is no smooth locomotion in VR, even when using a standard controller or keyboard which is how you'd play in non-VR, meaning they purposefully went out of their way to disable this feature for VR which makes this even more frustrating.
你让我知道我还有救 我智商真高
Here's some drunk VR gameplay for ya!

So this game is really cool, its only down fall is having to use the vive controler touchpad in VR. I ended up continuing gameplay without VR just because of how tedious it was, wich sucks because I feel like the game was way scarrier in VR. All in all Ill still give it a thumbs up because the gameplay has been much better after switching from VR.
I would say no and for one personal reason, Lack of smooth locommotion on my Vive trackpad, I couldn't get it working with an xbox pad and I wasn't happy with the immersion killing. I didn't play much of it, so can't comment what it's like. I'm a bit gutted and shall keep it on my wishlist and wait for it to be fixed.
The game is absolutely beautiful! The graphics were amazing. Although I did not use a heart rate monitor, there were still some moments of the game that got me to jump out of my seat! I really wish there was more to the game! I can see myself playing this for hours!
I was excited for this game, the hype was there with a good trailer.
Graphics are decent and controls are simplistic and easy to figure out.
BUT
They are asking way too much for this game; In my opinion, these are the reasons.
It looked much better in the trailer, gameplay matched but storyline was a failure.
Made no sense, no good story to follow. Your subway just crashes, then you find a way out.
No sense of character to follow, or role to get into.
The first jump scare was lame, just a face popping up on the screen.
And unfortunately, at one point I even had to reload my game to a previous save point just to complete an objective. Its just not designed well.
I'm disappointed.
** Recommended if you like skulking about while terrified, and figuring out puzzles **
The game is very atmospheric (and that atmosphere is dark and creepy). Dark tunnels, dark rooms, and spooky creatures ready to rend the unwary -- the game has plentiful jump scares. It isn't all just creeping around, there's a lot of puzzling to be done too.
One of the creepiest games I've played in a while. The sound and the atmosphere is tense enough but, just for fun, they throw in the occasional jump scare. Then things are quiet again, but I'm smarter than this, I know there is another scare just around the corner...but no...nothing. Ok then, I'll just keep going...Arg! You got me again! If this game is this scary when playing without VR or a heartrate monitor, I can't wait to try it with. Looks like I won't be sleeping at all this weekend.

[i]I recommend this game mostly for the compelling[dark] atmosphere created and the sounds ( they repeat themselves after some time tho ) - but be aware, no ultra widescreen support / optimisation is ok for the most part - but in some places ( like for ex the sewers tunnels ) it really plummets / a lot of reused assets and a lot more clipping thru solid objects ( vases/boxes/lights rack on ceiling/ behind the mirrors support structure and probably others ) that really detracts the player from having an immersive experience ![/i]
***HIGHLY RECOMMEND GAME***
The atmosphere is phenomenal.
The lighting and darkness is top notch with the sound.
The controls and graphics are smooth.
This is a new Gem in the Horror Puzzle Genre and if given a chance surely will not disappoint.
5/5
Update from my previous review:
After some troubleshooting, and extensive help from RedMeatGames, I was able to get my HRM setup working. Some notes I have for the HRM are as follows:
-It's still difficult to get your monitor connected due to the short range of ANT+, compounded by the fact that you have to reconnect every time you start the game. I'm not sure if it's possible to remember devices between sessions, but this would be a great feature in the future.
-Some suggestions for the HRM in game are perhaps allowing the player to hear their heartbeat increasing or decreasing, or perhaps using the Vive wand vibrations as a more physical indication of elevated HR. I did notice my HR increasing a few times, but didn't really notice any difference in gameplay.
-HRM use score: 7.3/10: It's a cool feature, but seems to lack a full payoff for the investment. Understandably, this is a new type of VR component, so it could be improved with time. Would currently only recommend to people who intend to use their HRM for other things.
The game itself:
-The opening scene had a lot of tension and genuine spookiness, which got me pumped for a genuinely terrifying experience.
-Unfortunately, this was followed by a very long sequence without much interaction. The tutorial aspect for training the player to use items is too long, and breaks up the atmosphere a little too much. The beginning area is too large and vacant, and the rooms to explore all look the same. My suggestion is to cut the fuse puzzle to just one fuse.
-The following areas are conceived much better, and the tight corridors are much more inclined towards good scares.
-My biggest criticism is the movement scheme. Teleporting in VR is a common way to move, and is fine, and preferred by many. However, the giant rectangle that is used for teleporting broke all immersion and tension for me. In pitch black sequences, when it appeared, it actually hurt to look at. I'd suggest reduce the brightness of the teleporter, and remove the rectangle surrounding it. Personally, I'd prefer a movement option using the trackpad like a joystick instead of the teleporting. It's nice when games have the option for both. Additionally, the distance you teleport is so short, you find yourself mashing the trackpad over and over to walk across massive empty rooms. I suggest either reducing the size of the environments, or increase the range of the teleport. The short bursts make it feel like you're blinking rapidly, which gets tiresome to look at.
-It would also be great to have hands. Vive wands break immersion. On the same note, allow the player to use their light when using other items.
Overall:
Visuals: 7.5/10 - Great art assets, but should be less spread out in many areas.
VR visuals: 5/10 - Nauseating movement scheme and intrusive teleporting.
Gameplay: 7/10 - Unique environment for a horror game. Could use more claustrophobic elements. A few areas with stairs that are unusable for seemingly no reason. Scattered notes don't seem to have a purpose or explanation. I think the mystery of the crash, and their survival is enough to entice the player to continue. The puzzles felt a bit too easy. Some were hard to physically do because the objects were not recognized by the Wand in logical areas of the hitboxes, so this could use some clean up.
Overall: 6.5/10 - Bring to Light has potential, but needs some work to make it a truly horrifying experience. Movement and environment make exploration a chore in VR. The story so far was compelling, but the notes and extended sequences where nothing happen don't entice me to continue. This is a case of more is less, both in the storytelling, and game mechanics.
I would recommend this game to anyone highly invested in the evolution of VR horror. If the HRM experience in is improved on, I think it can be a much more unique experience. I appreciate the overall drive RedMeatGames has to implement new accessories into VR, and hope they will continue to work on and improve Bring to Light.
If you are looking for a conventional puzzler with an immersive horror atmosphere, then you've found it.
The darkness is oppressive - you start off quite happy to be alone and unimpeded as you pick you way through wrecked subway cars, but quickly grow isolated by the reduced range of visibility. The weak, eternal cellphone flashlight gives you just enough light to keep moving, but never enough to know what's truly coming next - a nice reprieve, too, from the maddening darkness of Amnesia.
The puzzles begin quite simply, giving you a chance to acclimatise to the user-friendly interactions, and increase in complexity as the game progresses. The atmospherics are excellent - the lighting, ambient sounds, story elements, and judiciously applied jump-scares all contiribute to an increasingly creepy experience.
I can only imagine the impact of playing it in VR and with the heartrate monitor, where the game no-doubt merits the health warning displayed during the title sequence.
I'm about an hour in and am really enjoying it so far! The environments are dark and creepy and the sound is really good.
The monsters are super creepy, and the way it plays with light just adds to the scare factor.
I wish I had a heart rate monitor so I could try that feature out, but maybe that would just kill me - I'm pretty old.
If you like the horror genre, intriguing settings and puzzles, and the building sense of fear and dread that a "FPS" or VR environment can offer, definitely recommend the creep factor of Bring to Light! I don't even have a fit bit for the game to take advantage of my biometrics and its still unnerving moving through the game! Constantly looking over my shoulder! Definitely worth a go!
Creepy, atmospheric sounds help put you right in the middle of this game. It's got intuitive controls and a genuinely creepy feel. The subway area really feels claustrophobic! When the scares start to go beyond the sound and atmosphere it's very very unsettling. I'm kind of glad I'm not playing the game with a heart monitor on because I don't think I want to know how much my heart rate is spiking!
Repetitive uninspired gameplay. Wandering halls, finding keys, turning valves then eventually running into the least scary monsters you've ever seen.
completely a CASH CRAB GAME!
Lots of wandering around in an almost pitch black dungeon crawler-like environment, opening doors to find bits and pieces in order to progress, only to finally be in the presence of a spider-like creature to get past to continue on... And then there appears to just more of the same with a different creature to avoid to keep going. Began full of promise, but movement is very slow and tedious (I presume to add to the suspense), a few jumps scares along the way and it's all a bit dull and repetitive. It''s disappoiinting because the trailer looked so promising...
- Kind of spoilerish?-
Definitely enjoyed the game, great visuals, got a couple of scares and some good puzzels.
Around the half way point of the game it turned into a mostly puzzel based game, the puzzels were fun and fair and kept new and interesting ideas flowing throughout the rest of the game.
The strongest part of the game for me would have been the first half though. I enjoyed the puzzels but walking around in the dark not knowing what was gonna happen next was definitely a fun ride.
Heres a highlight from my play through, should be spoiler free.
