Critical Gravity

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers and Xbox One controller [/h1] I absolutely love racing in VR. Unfortunately, I really didn't like this game. It's not awful, but it's just not very good at the moment. It's still in Early Access so there's time for it to improve. It is definitely a different racing experience. Basically, you're racing on these space cylinders. And apparently gravity is strong but high speeds and certain angles can lead you to lose your grip on the "road" and spin out of control out in space. In the normal mode, you'll come back to the road eventually, usually after a few flips both vertical and horizontal. So you better have a strong VR stomach or you may puke. There's three modes of racing: solo, racing, and gravity. Gravity just means when you lose grip on the road surface, you're unlikely to ever come back and just drft off into space and the dark abyss. I don't know if that was intentional by the dev, but it made it so it's basically impossible to finish most races unless you drive slow. There's several race tracks, I believe 10 total at this time. There's some differences between them. Some different colors, some different backgrounds, and some different twists and turns. But, honestly, they all felt the same to me. You unlock tracks by being victorious. Good luck with that. I did not like the control scheme. You're basically using your Touch controllers as gamepads and pushing A to accelerate or X to brake and Y to e-brake. You might as well use the Xbox One controllers because the steering is too sensitive on the Touch controllers. It's also too sensitive on the Xbox one controllers, but it's manageable with very slight touches on the stick [spoiler] TWSS [/spoiler] I would have preferred to use the triggers to accelerate and brake. Anyways, I just didn't have fun. I honestly don't want to play anymore. I'm happy I got this on the Steam curator program to review for free because I would have hated paying for this. But, it's still in Early Access. I can definitely see the dev making some tweaks and making this a fun racer. It just needs better controls and better tracks (visuals & creativity). Rate 4/10. p.s. I tried using motion controllers to guide the steering wheel by pressing grab and then moving hands accordingly to steer. It was still pretty bad controls, although probably better than the default steering controls.
