I want to start this review immediately with my wish for more content in this game,
I had the game before I got it on steam so don't let my playing time fool you but I've played VRRCC a few times now, mostly short sessions due to the lack of content,
but for me there is no low replayability, on the contrary, the game feels good and not only in terms of controls and physics, also the sounds of the cart and more.
Watch me mess around with planks and stuff: https://youtu.be/hWg1YY1AmD8
A peaceful quiet sunny afternoon around your house in a cozy neighborhood, just as you remember it when you were a younger person playing outside at your home, or visiting a friend or family, that feeling where you can feel innocent without any worries. could have fun and everything in the area went well to achieve the right atmosphere,
this little game VRRCC goes nicely in the direction of this atmosphere, despite the lack of content.
You have your house without attached neighbors so where you can go all the way around, an open veranda at the front of the house and a small cozy backyard with some garden-related objects and an empty swimming pool,
you will also find a skateboard there but skating yourself is not possible, but I will come back to this skateboard in a moment.
In addition to the comfy environment around your house, you also have the street in front where you can move freely, although limited, the room to move is limited to the ends of the street, and you can't enter the gardens of the other houses in the street either. .
Your RC car that can go beyond these limits, strange but true, so be mindful that you can still drive your car back to your location.
Make no mistake when you try to control the RC car for the first time, you will not have to use a thumbstick or trackpad but you will have to hold the 'controller' of the RC with one controller and then use your virtual thumb with the other vr controller and using your index finger to operate the rotary wheel with which you can then drive left or right, it does take a bit of practice as the car turns quite sharply, just like it works in real life.
Besides driving around aimlessly you will be able to use the objects in the garden that you can move and place as you wish in combination with fixed objects such as cars in the street or the empty swimming pool.
This is a nice extra to the game as it can make for a lot of creative parkours if you have the patience and inspiration to put them together,
so you can also use the skateboard to mess around with the RC cart on top, you can add it to your parkour anyway.
Moving the large planks was not always comfortable, with the slightest wrong move such a plank can suddenly fly into oblivion and you lose it, it does not spawn back and you cannot spawn extra objects, unfortunately.
This pretty much sums up everything the game has to offer at the moment, it's really not much, but to be honest a nice and nostalgic experience for VR. An almost perfect option to let the frustrations flow away at the end of the day by trying to control your RC car in this peaceful environment.
I'm also going to be completely honest, the store page is a little bit misleading via the photos next to the trailer,
in the pictures you can see an area that is not accessible in the game itself, a racetrack.
I don't understand why this location didn't end up in the game after release, this would take the fun so much higher than the garden and the street.
Not only this location, but the possibility to start a server yourself to mess around with RC cars with others, a workshop where players can put together racetracks, like the racetrack in the pictures.
VRRCC is small and limited but offers so much potential through the controls the whole concept of a good VR RC experience.
Hopefully one day the developer or team will pick up this project again so we can enjoy more content.
But if you want to drive a good RC car in VR without any expectations, then VRRCC is a good option.
