About the game
When the Esmeralda crashes on Tyson III, Robin is left stranded. He must rely on his wits – and HIGS, an AI unit from the ship – to survive. As he searches for the lost crew and comes face-to-face with dinosaurs, Robin discovers that Tyson III is not the paradise once promised.

What players say
Bought this game in 2026 when I started my PCVR journey. Had this one on the list since I saw an announcemnet on youtube for PSVR. Man, after all those years PC systems have become more affordable, I finally spend a lot and now own a Meta Quest 3 with pancake lenses and a pretty decent machine. Playing this game with 2x resolution (internal setting) and everything on the highest setting the Meta Quest 3 really shows...

Possibly the best looking VR game I have ever played, on par or better with Alyx. Only negative is the Control scheme. It takes about 10 minutes to realize how it works on any other than the original Vive controllers. For Pico, which is like Quest controller, button presses are stick to a spesific direction and pressing. That is quite awakward. But once you get the hang of it, the game is REALLY nice. You can also...
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this game for Quest 3. It looks very good, graphics are sharp and the world looks interesting, but trying to force it to work with Quest 3 controllers is real nightmare. After literaly hours of trying to find solution I wasn't able to find one that would allow for comfortable gameplay on Quest 3, and I really tried hard becasue the game itself looks very promising.
