“This is incredible, both in VR and standard mode. The locations are beautiful, the music is perfectly tranquil, and the camera settings have lots of options but aren't too much for non-DSLR photographers. There's even…”
“The most jawdropping game I'ver ever played. Graphically insane. Amazing soundtrack. Perfect way to lower your cortisol.”
“This game is very relaxing and has amazing graphics and sounds. The only problem is if you want to have a lot of FPS you need a very good PC. I get around 60-40FPS avarage.”

“Visually stunning. Idk how these maps were made, I imagine either being commissioned or publicly available map projects, but UE5 really does justice in bringing them to life. The camera controls are incredibly in depth,…”

“I Love this game and it runs pretty well for my pc at 1440p, but the only problem that i have is that the VR Version has DLSS and the Desktop Version doesn't i hope you add it in another update other than that the game…”
“The game is beautiful, I believe that on 4k screen it would be better. with my PC specs, the RTX2070, 1080p, it runs 80%(it has a quality preset bar in settings, max is 100%), 60fps smooth and beautiful.”

“Not open world, has invisible barriers all over the place. For a photography game it shouldn't be limiting players to where they want to go. It also requires you to complete quest to go to other locations. Map is too…”
“So I genuinely didn't like the game. It just didn't feel good to play and it was boring. Additionally, Annapurna is owned by the Ellison family... the largest private donors to the IDF in the world.”
“The photography is not as realistic as I would have liked. And the environments are rather boring.”

“As someone who's always loved exploring and finding the nooks & crannies of any game, This was such a fun experience. It rewards the exploration. Exploring Kyoto was a blast since I've been to Fushimi Inari &…”

“almost burned my laptop down cuz i tried to max out the graphics but overall 10/10 game”
“Photography puzzler/cozy game with a focus on exploring huge and detailed environments. You kind of walk around and take pictures at your leisure, trying to find scattered collectibles and fill out a picture board.…”
“Would recommend if you have good PC for better quality. My laptop could sacrifice some FPS for better graphic, but not my wallet and my weak heart to force these fans. None the less, a great simple photography simulator…”

“I got stuck under a bridge in vr because it loaded me under it and couldn't escape. Then i got stuck and couldn't move on some rocks while playing with the controller. Great looking game, but these ruined it for me.”

“What a beautiful game. This is what video games are meant for. To showcase the wonderful things of life. The walks. The quiet. The sound. Get this. It's a small moment of peace, that you can take with you.”

— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This game seems to have been made just for me: globe-trotting, beautiful landscapes, high end graphics, and tranquil gameplay that lets you practice composition and lighting. That's all I'm looking for in a game! My only complaint is that the VR version is scaled back a ton…”
