By Grit Alone Review: Dead In Space And Loving It
- By Grit Alone puts you in the shoes of a nameless passenger aboard a cryo transport.
- Developer Crooks Peaks's By Grit Alone is a good sci-fi horror VR game.
- Every weapon has dual-purposes in By Grit Alone.
- Besides the obvious bona fides, like Dead Space (2008) scribe Antony Johnston himself co-writing alongside Emma Beeby, there's so much evident inspiration.
- Realizing there are multiple spaceships to explore is especially cool.
- By Grit Alone can be absolutely brutal at points.
- By Grit Alone is undeniably built for those who are more experienced with VR.
- That's the issue.Individually, they're all just a step away from being these super cool moments - they're just a little out of tune, and what should be fun becomes frustrating.
- By Grit Alone leaves quite the striking impression within minutes and it never lets go.
- It's been a long, long time since I've truly lost myself in a horror game like I did with By Grit Alone.

Navigating the Maze of High Risk Business Payment Solutions
- Securing reliable payment solutions is a daunting task for high-risk businesses but understanding high-risk merchant accounts' ins and outs is crucial. Factors like industry type, transaction volume, and likelihood of chargebacks contribute to the high-risk category. High-risk merchant accounts offer tailored services to enhance business operations and revenue potential and provide specialized support with advanced fraud protection tools.
- Selecting the right high-risk payment processor is crucial with higher setup fee, monthly account fee, transaction fee, and chargeback fee. Understanding fees and rates helps manage costs effectively and avoid surprises. Negotiation is possible with effective prevention strategies, i.e., implementing advanced fraud detection tools, educating staff, and keeping software updated.
- High-risk businesses should have robust customer support. A 24/7 support team, industry-specific providers with experience in their sector, and multiple support channels offer swift assistance when problems arise. Compliance with industry regulations is vital to avoid severe penalties and a loss of merchant account, and providers offer compliance assistance.
- For high-risk businesses, building and maintaining trust with customers is crucial. Communicating openly with your customers, transparency about security measures and policies, responsive and helpful support team, and excellent customer service enhance business reputation and foster long-term relationships.

‘Wall Town Wonders’ Review – Maybe a Little Too Casual for Today’s Mixed Reality
- Wall Town Wonders feels like a casual game from the future, when all-day AR glasses are the norm, and you can manage your growing town of tiny Sim-like inhabitants.
- While visually captivating, the depth of gameplay isn’t enough to keep my attention for long, raising the question whether the genre is simply too early for the current generation of XR headsets.
- The gameplay loop is heavily centered around filling out your basic building types and upgrade existing structures, making for over 100 buildings to browse through.
- The mini-games are meant to be the engaging bits during these resource wait times, but I felt they were little more than random chores to complete.
- The cozy little European village motifs sprung to life on your walls is a recipe for “awww”.
- Objectively though, Wall Town Wonders relies too heavily on point-and-click laser pointers for interactions, giving you a few precious moments to pick up villagers for one-off exploration missions, or automatically spawn gadgets from your wrist to do things like shoot arrows at bugs, or water plants with a watering gun.
- The sheer number of buildings available forces you on your feet, tasking you to constantly peruse all of the open wall space available in your room.
- Wall Town Wonder’s key innovation is putting the village at a more comfortable position on your walls, which feels so much better than leaning over a tiny map, or having to constantly reposition the virtual world for a better look.
- Wall Town Wonders relies too heavily on point-and-click laser pointers for interactions, giving you a few precious moments to pick up villagers for one-off exploration missions, or automatically spawn gadgets from your wrist to do things like shoot arrows at bugs, or water plants with a watering gun.
- Wall Town Wonders feels like wants us to forget these very real XR hardware bottlenecks, as its random collection of mini-games and meditative fish tank vibe feels just a little too casual for dedicated play sessions in Quest.
