comment
Farpoint is Sci-fi VR survival adventure game developed by Impulse Gear and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and made for the Play Station 4.Aboard the Space Station USS Pilgrim orbiting around Jupiter, you're an escort to Dr. Eva Tyson and her colleague, Dr. Grant Moon, and are amongst three of 230 astronauts and researchers tasked with the investigation of a radiation anomaly near the planet and retrieval of a couple of scientists from Jupiter's surface. But owing to a wormhole unexpectedly opening and sucking your vessel in, you, alongside Eva and Grant, are inevitably stranded on an unknown, deserted alien planet.Obtaining a high-tech assault rifle in the opening stage, you managed to locate various holographic logs scattered over the planet's landscape, and use them to summon a distress beacon while fighting off the legions of giant monsters infesting the planet's surface. Meanwhile, you remain an observer to the two scientists, Eva and Grant, who stays in the sidelines...A co-op mode is available if you have two VR headsets and wants to invite a friend to survive together.

Destructible Projectiles: One of the alien insect variety (and the only one with a ranged attack) can shoot a glowing green poisonous glob from a distance, but the globs can be shot from a distance before it hits. The giant spider boss uses this attack, but three globs at a time.

Heavily Armored Mook: The beetle-spider hybrid enemies, who tanks far more hits than regular bugs and keeps coming, even after being blasted with the rockets or grenade launcher. This enemy type tends to appear in dark areas, like subterranean levels, though a good idea is to aim for it's head behind it's huge legs.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The stage where you search through burning wreckage have you unexpectedly attacked by robots from the debris, having survived the crash and activating to destroy everything in sight. A self-activating Chicken Walker serves as a reasonably difficult Mini-Boss, and later you're swarmed by flying attack drones.

Time Skip: The game somehow managed to throw two lengthy, decade-long one. First skip occurs two-third through the game, after Eva accepts that she will never be able to see earth, ever after. She then settles down with Grant, and after the skip they're raising their young toddler daughter on the alien planet. And then Eva and Grant were unceremoniously vaporized by an energy field, with a second skip leading to meeting their now-teenaged daughter.

Battle Amongst the Flames: There's a stage where you're searching for parts in the flaming wreckage of a crashed spaceship, still alight, when giant insects starts appearing. The heat doesn't really affect gameplay, being in a space suit - the difficulty comes from poor visibility thanks to burning flames.

Gameplay Protagonist, Story Protagonist: The main plotline revolves around the efforts of two astronauts, Dr. Grant Moon and Dr. Eva Tyson, dragged into a portal near Jupiter and stranded on a distant alien world and their efforts to locate a beacon for rescue which turns out fruitless because Earth is actually 3 billion years away. Meanwhile, the player character is their pilot who spends the whole game observing Moon and Tyson while never interacting with them, instead fighting giant alien monsters and malfunctioning robots on his / her own.

You Can't Go Home Again: More than halfway into the game, Grant reveals to Eva - with a sad, depressed, hopeless tone in his voice - that the alien world is one of the farthest known stars from Earth, located some 800,000 lightyears away. And the journey back home would take 3 billion years, where even if they do make it back to Earth, humans would be long extinct.
