Description: Have you ever wished to be sitting next to a fireplace during a rainstorm, camping in the woods, or standing on the edge of a beautiful mountainous landscape? Now you can with this virtual reality (VR) room-scale experience. Available for the HTC Vive, this experience will be more relaxing and exciting than anything available for the price. This game isn’t quite classified as a game, but that’s the point! It’s more of an experience. There has been a lack of relaxation/meditation type games out for the Vive on the market and this is a solution to that. It’s a place you can go to relax, to reflect, unwind and just listen to the in-game 3D audio sounds of nature/3D sound effects

Review: There might have been a time when Vistascapes VR was revolutionary and probably one of the first relaxation apps on the Steam VR platform. But times have moved on and other apps in the same genre have come along to make this experience look rather poor quality. While you are free to try it at least the lack of anything even slightly relaxing is what puts me off recommending this to anyone. But do feel free to try it yourself and if you do enjoy it just let me know in the comments below.
