So I picked up this VR title in the Steam Sale yesterday and my son and I have been having sooooo much fun playing it. It really showcases VR in a fantastic way. I showed it to my mother-in-law (who has never seen VR) and she said the waves and sky were just so soothing that she could stay there for hours.
The game is just a level-game where the challenges get progressively harder. The VR view system is perfect…I mean, I was skeptical of the somewhat fixed view angles (you can cycle through them), but they are perfect for VR, give a great perspective on things…and simply look stunning.
The vehicle physics are really fun - the goal is to hit the little tikis, navigate the course, and hit the flag at the far end of the course. The first levels are pretty easy - other levels require a lot of precise driving, balancing, and planning where your vehicle is going to either jump, slide, or crash. There is a nifty little damage model…and overall it is a first rate VR experience. As you earn points, you upgrade your vehicle, paint, change types, etc…
Some video I shot…but it doesn’t give you the true feel of what it looks like in VR - it is just fantastic…(it can also be played in non-VR) (no sound in the video because FRAPS for some reason doesn’t record my VR audio…) (just making VRoooming sounds with your own mouth)
Available for $6.49 now during the Steam sale…
