Overview
Adr1ft is an immersive First Person Experience (FPX) that tells the story of an astronaut in peril. Floating silently amongst the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory and a severely damaged EVA suit slowly leaking oxygen, the only survivor struggles to determine the cause of the catastrophic event that took the lives of everyone on board. The player fights to stay alive by exploring the wreckage for precious resources, and overcomes the challenges of an unforgiving environment to repair the damaged EEV and safely return home.

ADR1FT is a beautiful take on the space disaster genre, but ultimately one that not everyone will get pulled into. It's subtle, slow, and crawling at times, instead of intense, bold, or peppered with action moments. It could have used a bit of both personally.
Overall, ADR1FT has good intentions, but it just fails to execute them phenomenally.

Without virtual reality support to increase the novelty this this would-be walking sim proves a disappointingly bland experience.
Even if played in its traditional form, Adr1ft can be entertaining and impressive thanks to its unique setting. However, the console edition is still suffering from the previous version's lacks, such as its repetitive gameplay as well as some technical problems that can strongly compromise the playability of this product.
