Vindicta - VR Gameplay HTC Vive
7Vindicta seems to be a light, story driven, made for VR FPS that looks pretty good and for the most part feels pretty good too.
As of this video Vindicta is an Early Access title and there are some EA hiccups. The trackpad locomotion has some quirks which I highlight in the video. Sliding your thumb in new directions doesn't always register the new direction. This is the biggest issue with the game and hopefully they'll resolve it quickly.
Outside of the trackpad issues there were some positional audio quirks that are just a bit off. I could determine the direction sound was coming from but it sounded far too close in a few instances. Not too big an issue but still something I hope gets fixed.
The only other issue that comes to mind is the two handed weapons don't seem to have the correct pivot points for both hands. The pivot points seem to be sitting a foot or so forward of the hand they should be pivoting on.
So far these 3 are the only significant issues worth mentioning and they didn't really hinder the gameplay or fun factor of the game. The trackpad issue was a bit frustrating but could be worked around. Extended use might be more frustrating but after just 30 minutes I was still tolerant of it.
The things I liked:
The tutorial. It was short, sweet and to the point. A concise tutorial that shows you exactly what you need to know without wasting a lot of time is always welcome.
The voice acting was pretty good and reminded me a lot of Raw Data and how they deliver story pieces. Which isn't a bad thing.
Blowing up bots is just satisfying. Getting that positive feedback for getting head shots was a nice touch. At the end of the mission we got a taste of more difficult bots which I like. Hoping for a higher difficulty level for the rest of the missions.
Multiple forms of locomotion. They opted for Walkie as the comfort option instead of teleport. There are two different Walkie options, one where you're oriented by the HMD and the other where you're oriented by the controllers. And of course the trackpad locomotion I used and commented on above.
I will say, there only appears to be 4 levels + a tutorial. That may be a bit steep of a price. I'm going to give it a thumbs up. Get it while it's on sale or wait for a content update.
