Welcome Above

i love flight simulations. here you fly as a bird in stylish levels to cool music. especially i like the way you control the bird. it feels somehow super natural. you have to flutter with your arms :)
the content is with about 30min still quite short, if you stick strictly to the guidelines. here should absolutely come more.
but with the price you can't really complain.
another thing: i am actually very sensitive to motion sickness. after one hour there were no signs of it.
clear recommendation from me :)

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
I really enjoyed this game a lot. Unfortunately, it was all over in about 15 minutes. I'm sure I could play again and it would still be fun, but it would also be about the same. Sure you can take different paths, forget the objective, but that's still ultra light on content, especially for a game at the normal price of $8.99 USD that's in Early Access and hasn't seen an update since it released. Luckily, I got this game in a VR bundle on a 3rd party site for less than 50 cents (10 VR games for $3). You can probably google it and find it as it's still currently available.
The graphics are stylized and the map is interesting (4 levels = 4 different looking areas of the map). The flight mechanic is easy to pickup & fun to master. You get a wonderful sense of flight. The sound work is top notch (music + ambient sounds), which makes for a relaxing, chill flight. I wanted to keep flying and discover more areas.
Unfortunately, the 14+ minutes was it (1 map, 4 levels). You can die, but fortunately there are checkpoints so that you don't have to backtrack too much if that happens. You do get graded at the end, but I wasn't sure if it was done accurately (as I got the same score on both my runs which seemed unlikely to me as I thought I did much better on my second run). Lastly, there are no other options in this game (settings), other than the launch options for resolution and whether you want desktop windowed or full screen.
I personally think $8.99 USD is too much given the content, on the other hand, the content is superb. That's why I say just get the bundle and enjoy the limited content. I think the game is probably abandoned (EA = Early Abandonment).
Rate 6/10. This game would have at least earned an 8/10 if it had more content & more options (or much lower normal price).

Are you a bird-man? Well let me tell you, you;'re going to absoltuely love this game. Let me tell you again., Only once can you be serious, and this is the time. BIRDS VR.............

OH MY GOODNESS WHAT AN EXPERIENCE.
I bought this game because it was cheap and looked nifty. I played it once and was bored with it, but never uninstalled it, intent to one day revisit it and explore its potential.
TODAY WAS THAT DAY.
Oh my goodness the intensity! The psychological thrills as you pay close attention to the numerous details invested in every aspect of the game design! It goes beyond game, to the thrill all die-hard VR fans with their thousands invested into bleeding edge VR technology for home entertainment desire... It's an EXPERIENCE.
Mario, Samus, and Link (I'm a Nintendo fanboy so forgive my limited references) revolutionized gaming by giving us an EXPERIENCE. What games lacked visually didn't bother my young mind because the intensity of the character driven story and my participation therein gave me a fulfilling experience as a little gamer.
Welcome Above renewed that feeling for me today. The same thrill and awe I enjoyed my first time as a kid playing shareware Doom on my dad's work PC when it first came out in the 90's, It was the most incredible thing to me, a whole new experience. Like the first time you play a new video game on a new console kind of experience. It's INCREDIBLE. In VR, for me, it was like that 95% naked blue guy thay did weird stuff with a pterodactyl in that one movie where he then got to fly around a bunch of 3D movie mountains on said dinosaur but they were all mentally-organically connected so it was all unity and togetherness type hogwash kinda thing. That kind of experience, you know?
Welcome Above did that for me today. I returned to this purchase, understanding the basic mechanics and ready to give it another go, this time carefully following the track while trying to pick up every boost and bonus. As you progress in this admittedly short but intensely fulfilling play through, the difficulty ramps up steeply.
I found myself turning all around, appreciating every one of those 360 degrees of VR freedom. I was craning my neck upward to look for the tops of floating mountains, and looking down where my feet no longer existed at the endless ocean beneath. I found myself flailing my shoulders about desperate to reach that next bonus. Until my shoulders became somewhat heavy (holding your arms out like a stark raving lunatic while playing this game regularly is highly recommended for those toned shoulders you've always wanted), and I paid no attention to why I so desperately craved the next bonus...
I was immersed in all this beautiful scenery, carefully crafted challenge, divergent paths, and tantalizingly placed bonuses. Then I realized that I was being given feedback on my maneuvers. I'm the competitive type and accepted the challenge, and oh my goodness was it a great experience!
Now I don't want to say any more lest I spoil the incredible twist in this game. I intend to play this often, just for the fun shoulder workout if nothing else, but also in search of alternate endings. You'll see what I mean when you get this game. Have you got this game yet?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO.
TL;DR - I really like this game.
Provision of proper praise plentifully for a pleasantly programmed play like Welcome Above by presentation of proper payment is politely petitioned, please pass on piracy.

Great game, although it isn't for me.
Some parts of the game spooked me, but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable!
Personally, I refunded it. It spooked me. But if you like things like this, it's for you.

Probably the most potential to be the best experience I've played on VR. With that said, I've only played a small bit of time and so far, need more content. I realize this game is going to turn into multiplayer, but for the single player, please add more achievements. More environment. Epic story. Kinda reminds me of journey. Anyway, after the heat of a shooter, this is a good relaxer.

In this game, you control a bird in 3rd person, you dont take off or land, you glide or flap your wings to move faster/higher.
The flight mechanics are good, its not too hard, or too easy to manuever, graphics get better once you get to the "wooded" parts.
Performance is pretty good, but that is almost a given because of the simple graphics (that look really good).
Basically its a relaxing "on rails" 3rd person, bird flying simulator with good graphics and well done flight mechanics. Probably more of an experience than a game.
I think there will be many people that will love the game for its relaxing nature and flying vistas, and others that will dislike because its not that much of a game (if you dont want it to be)... overall i think its enjoyable.
