Description: This is a VR tour game with the theme of pirate culture. Players can travel through the three scenes of the pirate ship, the pirate bedroom and the underwater ruins. The pirate ship has 3 viewing angles, which are the pirate first-person view, the third-person view on the boat, and the aerial flight view. Players can admire the misty sea level and huge pirate ship from the third-person perspective. Switch to the pirate perspective and explore the internal structure of the pirate ship. At the same time, the aerial perspective can overlook the entire island. The rich viewing perspective allows players to fully experience the pirate culture.

Review: ‘VR Pirates of the Caribbean Life Experience’ is a small collection of weird scenes, with an ever-so-slight connection to water. In fact, apart from them all featuring water in some way they are not linked in any way. They are not fun, they are not educational, not interesting and they are not relaxing. Once again this developer hammers a nail into PCVR’s death with yet another app that makes it looks pointless. To say I don’t recommend this (or anything this developer makes) would be an understatement. Oh, and all the text was in Chinese anyway. I think it just goes to show an Oxford education isn’t worth shit.
