I spent an entire day off from work flying to the moon and then back again without saving or loading. It involved flipping switches hundreds of times, following dozens of checklists, and pressing V37 on a pretend version of a 60 year old computer until it was second nature. This was after a previous attempt where I got to the moon only to hurtle into space because I entered +00000 instead of +09000 in the LGC. I honestly can't think of another game I've played that so perfectly fits my level of crazy. This game is not for everyone. For a good portion of people the whole thing will be extraordinarily tedious and overly detailed. To be clear, it is a game insomuch as you can get away with lots of minor things that would have killed astronauts and the burn planner automates away some of the most tedious (and error-prone) jobs. But it is very detail oriented and time consuming. It requires reading, research, and failed attempts. You will be tapping away at a DSKY way more than most people (other than maybe CuriousMarc over on Youtube) would reasonably want to do in life. It's also surprisingly demanding in terms of system specs. Before you buy, watch some gameplay streams to get an idea of what you will be doing. It may not be for you. That all said, it's an amazing passion project and one that will scratch an itch like few other things can for a specific subset of people.
Reentry is not for everyone. If some or all of the following criteria apply, Reentry may be right for you: - You're interested in NASA's early space programs, specifically Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo - You're excited to learn how to operate these classic spacecraft - You want a realistic sim rather than an arcade sim - The idea of reading a 100+ page technical manual fills you with excitement rather than with dread (note: the technical manuals are optional ; the game also has plenty of tutorials) - You love the movie Apollo 13 or the TV series For All Mankind Warnings: - Common side effects include daydreaming about how to deal with systems failures, getting mad at fictional media where astronauts don't use checklists, and spending your evenings reading technical manuals for spacecraft that haven't been used since the 1970s. - You may experience wonder, panic, frustration, and joy. - Your significant other probably does not want to be your copilot. Steam Deck users While listed as Unsupported, this game is technically playable on the Steam Deck. However, you will need to do the following: - Turn all graphical settings to their minimum values - Manually map the Steam Deck's buttons to Reentry's various keyboard shortcuts - Get used to zooming in and out and panning the camera frequently so that you can monitor the full cockpit. I would not recommend the Steam Deck as your primary way to play Reentry; however, I have found it adequate for going through the tutorials when I am not at my desktop.
Experienced on the HP Reverb G2 using the Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality and on the Meta Quest 3 You can view my VR gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/_kie4e7qLGw Yes, this game does indeed have unofficial VR support. You have to go into the settings to enable VR. Fair warning though, the game does NOT automatically start in VR. You then have to press enable VR from the desktop menu and it'll start once you have a mission started from the desktop menu. In VR, while all this is going on, you'll only see a view of a moon crater. You will not see the menu UI at all. The VR will not start until the mission itself is actually loading in. From that point on, everything is in VR. However, VR interactions, at least currently, are all done by point and click interactions, along with face button pushes. You will not be able to physically interact with the cockpit buttons or levers, etc. You do have motion controlled avatar hands, but they are actually separate from the hands of the astronaut. If your rig and VR display connection can handle it, the visuals are gorgeous. The game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 5090, the visuals were amazing. These are some of the best visuals in VR. Tired of Quest visuals? Then get this game. This is the PCVR we remember. You're totally immersed in a realistic environment. Experiencing something special that only the magic of PCVR can bring. The game takes space simulation to the next level. Other than the g-forces missing, you will feel like you're taking off into space and more. I felt what can only be described as being awestruck with the beauty of space and earth. For that reason alone, this is a must buy for PCVR, if you're a VR veteran, who can handle the current limitations, and if you have a sufficient rig to handle this experience. Rate 11/10. I bought this game! If you enjoyed my review, please consider joining my Steam Curator group [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Oculus_WMR]Oculus Rift Reviews.
After dozens of hours in this simulator, I just can’t stay silent - this is one of those rare titles that truly makes your happy. Makes your dream to be a spaceman! First of all, the developer - Petri Wilhelmsen, thank you, Petri, for not just making another sim, but for creating something with real soul. Petri, your balance between realism and playability is spot on. It’s not about “100% accuracy,” it’s about making it feel real - and you absolutely nailed it. Second - the atmosphere. This isn’t just a salad of numbers and switches; here you genuinely feel like an astronaut. The view of Earth, the sense of weight, the checklists, the switches - everything clicks perfectly together. Third - the structure. From Mercury, through Gemini, all the way to Apollo and the Moon - Petri, you let me experience the evolution of space exploration step by step. It’s not just “launch and watch,” it’s a journey. My personal favorite moment: launch, orbit, maneuver, reentry - and suddenly you sit there thinking, “That’s it - I’m in space.” At that moment, you realize why games like this matter. Petri, you managed to make me forget I was playing - I was living it. If you want a simulator that’s both serious and welcoming, Reentry is exactly that. And Petri - your work deserves a standing ovation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - absolutely deserved. Petri, please keep going - I can’t wait to see what comes next. Thank you for the cosmos, and thank you for the game.
In case your wondering; my first session of Reentry-Orbital Simulator went good! I had set all the game options to "Realistic" with no button hints, checklist hints, and had Orbital Decay ENABLED... because.. come on... I'm a "Pro" at these things. I started in a dark capsule and the very first checklist item was to "Toggle Main Battery to ON". COULDN'T for the life of me find the "Battery" switch. Hunted FOREVER... Apparently, I only had so much time to get the Gemini capsule powered up before launch, that...when launch came...I still hadn't found the "Main Batteries" switch. Which meant my virtual fat-a** was launched into orbit with a "cold-and-dark" command module... So now I find myself... in space... in the dark and ANY hope of finding the the "Battery Switch" is shot to he** because... It's DARK... So after a while of deep self-reflection, I decided to pop the capsule hatch open to view the big, blue earth until my orbit decayed enough for me to re-enter in a burning ball of shame... I cannot recommend this sim enough for anyone interested in the early days of space exploration, or anyone who likes to control complex machines. The amount of detail and the complexity of the spacecraft are astounding, ALL DONE BY A SINGLE DEVELOPER! The commitment this sole talented developer has for this sim and the research required to make it in the first place is remarkable.
