Looks great but I can't get it to start up in English. The gloves don't select it. Is there a trick???

I cannot recommend this in the current state.
I really wanted to like it (moreso as it's made by a Czech studio), but there are several wrong things about this:
- All the people look the same (generic bald guys).
- Graphics are very subpar. Models in the background are low-poly, textures have low resolution, shadows and lighting are simply bad (for instance, the scenes inside of the colosseum are too bright). I have an Oculus Quest 2 and even native games look vastly better.
- The narrator doesn't make pauses inbetween sentences which prevents you from actually absorbing what you hear.
- The narrative is bland and boring (at least the Czech one).
- There is no interactivity whatsoever, you can't even use your thumbsticks to turn around. The only thing you can do is select some options from time to time such as "I'm a citizen" or "I'm royalty".
- There is no sitting mode. If you sit down with your real body, it's as if you were sitting down in the product, too.
- There is no comfort mode and the game moves you unexpectedly. This is not a problem for me as I have very solid VR legs after 5 years of owning VR headsets, but I can imagine this could be a serious problem for new VR users.
In summary, this unfortunately looks, sounds and feels like a Wikipedia article with a 360° video and not even a good looking one.
Until most of these are fixed or improved in the future patches, I cannot recommend this.

Played on Oculus Quest 2, this is a great VR experience, and educational too. Its somewhat on rails, but you get to travel in and around the Colosseum, and surrounding area, you learn about how it worked, its history and the gladiators. Its seems like a great use of VR, and I think we need a lot more of this type of VR content. Would be improved if you could walk around instead of it being on rails, but its is pretty good,
